Karl's and Andrew's WW II Soviet wingy thing GB - any takers?

[KarlW]

I have a 1-32 scale I-16 in the stash and a GB would be a good excuse to build my first plane for a few years, but not sure if I will be free of my other distractions by October. Can I pencil myself in maybe?
I guess the Spanish Civil War doesn't qualify as a time-frame,then?

No, I'm afraid the Spanish civil war falls into the same catagory as the Russian Japanese Border Wars, sort of a pre-war affair.
But I love an I-16 so hope you can join.

Thanks Neil. I'll add you to the list as a possible.

After careful consideration I've decided this was too experimental and will not be allowed.

[Dave Ward]

Thanks for joining Dave. So that rules out the Yak-3 for you....sorry but it's the only one I have in the stash.

! reckon that the Zvezda Sukhoi Su-2 will be the one - I've not seen it featured in many places - one of those unpopular models, even less popular now as it's made by Zvezda ( it's been in my stash for over 5 years! ). Russian land equivalent of the Avenger...............

The avenger was more of a torpedo bomber Dave (I’ve got one for the carrier war GB)……not much call for that over land. The Su-2 seems more like the earlier Vindicator, only more effective……be good to see it built.

I was meaning in appearance - large radial engine, long canopy & a turret...................

And not being an aircraft had no say in the argument!?

Highly experimental aircraft, the Soviet answer to the haunebu-v......

You need to get this book then Andy……

Well, the Army initially called the tank a 'Land Ship'!! Soooo, maybe a long stretch of the imagination!
