Heller do a 1:72 kit and I believe you can still get the Revell kit (Heller really).

The problem has always been decals - a very limited selection of Canadian, French and Italian examples. I'd really love to do one in Croatian markings, but there's no way I can recreate those 'hockey stick' cheatlines.

Re: Interesting Article.
Certainly an interesting article I don't envy any firefighter, airborne or otherwise, having to tackle those fires.
I remember landing at Rome Ciampino some years back and seeing a whole squadron of Canadairs lined up around the perimeter

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Yes indeed - very brave people. It's tragic to see that crash, a very sad loss.

If you watch the video closely,you'll realise that the aircraft is too low and the starb'd wing makes contact with a tree.wokka wrote: ↑July 30th, 2023, 10:18 am https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66349785

This results in the starb'd aileron been ripped off,it can be seen fluttering to earth behind the now uncontrollable aircraft.
Loss of roll control due to being to low for recovery and the subsequent contact with a ground object resulting in the loss of a
control surface caused the crash.
Sadly,the pilot caused his own and his co-pilot's demise.
I'm not saying that these crews are not very brave people,they are,flying into a cloud of smoke at low level and loss of
outside visual cues is an inherently very dangerous game indeed.
We all know the old saying about old pilots and bold pilots................
You could see him thinking "Bleedin'pilots,don't know nuffin.All glammer" He's probably right.

Well, I know nothing about these guys, Paul, and for various reasons, you may not want to deal with them, but:PaulBradley wrote: ↑July 30th, 2023, 4:04 pm The problem has always been decals - a very limited selection of Canadian, French and Italian examples.

Ugh, the moral dilemma.
Many thanks, Matt - I appreciate you thinking of me! In any case, I believe that, currently, USPS is not allowing mail to/from Russia.

Would it help with the hockey sticks and any moral dilemmas if I run this through the decal printer?PaulBradley wrote: ↑July 30th, 2023, 4:04 pmI'd really love to do one in Croatian markings, but there's no way I can recreate those 'hockey stick' cheatlines.
