Title: Polikarpov R-5 Scratchbuild Post by: John Thompson on December 03, 2009, 03:30:04 AM Amazing scratchbuild article of a 1/72 Polikarpov R-5:

and here are some photos of the cockpit of a Kor-1 of the same author. He made a beautiful He-70 too. http://savoya.io.ua/album79844 (http://savoya.io.ua/album79844) Massimo Title: Re: Polikarpov R-5 Scratchbuild Post by: John Thompson on December 04, 2009, 12:51:32 AM From this thread on Scalemodels.ru, it appears that maybe the R-5 parts in the Dishmodels article might somehow become masters for new 1/72 kits from either South Front or ICM - the online translation is hard to understand:
http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic_t_18068.html Wow - I hope so! A series of kits of the R-5 family would sure keep my Visa card busy! ;) John Title: Re: Polikarpov R-5 Scratchbuild Post by: Walker on November 18, 2010, 03:35:33 PM These authors name is Valentin Muchichko. He is very famous in Russia and Ukraine, the author models. In his master models are made to suit the I-1,TB-3, SB, Ki-27 ICM.

Maybe he might be working on a 1/72 I-153 for them some time soon! ;) John Title: Re: Polikarpov R-5 Scratchbuild Post by: Massimo Tessitori on November 18, 2010, 08:18:08 PM And a La-9/11? Don't forget this beautiful plane. I hope that more decent kits will be released.
Massimo Title: Re: Polikarpov R-5 Scratchbuild Post by: learstang on November 18, 2010, 09:12:14 PM John, you and your Chaika! I do have to agree with you on that one, though. And whilst we have someone working on an accurate I-153 in 1/72nd scale, how about someone doing one in 1/32nd scale! Instead of another Bf-109, say (what are there, 100 different kits of the Bf-109 in 1/32nd scale now?).

Rejecting all of the handcrafted items. Hi Musa! That is interesting, and I don't know if it is good news or bad news. It appears that the older handcrafted masters were truly great works of craftsmanship, judging by the finely-detailed kits which resulted - I-16, I-15, Su-2. Perhaps the new method will allow ICM to produce their molds more quickly and possibly issue new kits more often. I hope they don't forget about 1/72 scale!
