On the Zvezda Facebook page - renders for an upcoming models in 1/35 STZ-5 Artillery Tractor

Vulcan models did one of these a few years ago ( Didn't Mr Race do a conversion on this? )

On the Gecko Facebook page, boxart & test build for an upcoming release

Not sure what the difference is from their earlier K2Y release, unless it was just the Princess Elizabeth figure?

Says new parts in box , and this is older prod number than the ''princess elizabeth'' , looks like they released that first as it was a limited edition.

All we need are figures of John Mills, Silvia Syms and Anthony Quale and we have a nice little diorama.

For the Heinkel Zwilling I always thought it weird if the pilots decide to part ways. :tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:...where is my coat.

Cheers,

I can't remember ever having made a A/F/EA-18 in any scale, for some reason it just doesn't appeal to me!

Seems strange doesn't Paul, good write up on it on Wikipedia

I always believed that the ''growlers'' were never meant to tackle anything airborne except in defence, The preference would be to ''run away'', and they were to provoke the sam radars to switch on and lock on, so they could see a target.

That's correct. Growlers are designed for SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defence) missions, task they accomplish under the protection of other aircrafts which should keep the enemy fighters at bay while the Growlers are suppressing the ground based air defences. It's what Wild Weasels F4/F105 did in VietNam war.
