Title: A big model Post by: Massimo Tessitori on October 05, 2012, 06:41:46 AM Hi,
Maybe someone thinks that the Hobby Boss kit is too large...I've seen a much bigger model. (http://s4.postimage.org/5a9pyof70/IMG_0942.jpg) More can be found here. http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_t_6792.html (http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_t_6792.html) Regards Massimo Title: Re: A big model Post by: learstang on October 05, 2012, 05:42:00 PM I've seen that. It's not a bad replica. At least the green colour looks to be the correct colour. The first time I saw it I thought it was a restored Shturmovik instead of a new replica. I still want to have a full-scale replica (completely accurate, of course) in my back yard.

according to the text, it is based on some original pieces. I suppose that the steel armour is original, and probably the landing gear. The rear fuselage is metallic, I think rebuilt. The tail and rudder look done by cutten pieces of another plane.

The landing gear does look authentic.
