I'm with you on the Soviet WWII stuff Celtic! All I have is the IXO Polikarpov.

I also like the Vietnam era aircraft so I'm looking forward to the F104 & Mig 21 from that theatre.

Hmmmm....on the old forum I posted a picture of a winter Stuka that I wanted to se Hobby Master make, and bada bing bada boom, Hobby Master anounces a winter Stuka almost exactly the same I started the thread about wanting an AT-6 Texan, and presto-chango, an At-6 is coming out

Are there any more planes you want me to mention for Hobby Master to make

HM looks to be an exception, but most "toy companies" based in China think that stupid Westerners will buy anything with a Teutonic cross on it. Apparently, this line of thinking produced such mega sales hits like Maus, Jagdtiger, E-100, Sturmtiger, etc.

There are plenty of good looking liveries that could be produced of Soviet WWII aircraft, including Yak-9D flown by Wg Cdr James Storer while CO of 239th Wing 234Sq RAF at Trevisio.

The best black and white pics could be found here: http://www.airwarfareforum.com/viewt...7aa1061fcba46e

I don't know much about the history of this aircraft since the Russian sources claim it was a gift to the RAF during WWII while many Western Sources claim that it either was a plane of Yugoslav Air Force sold to the British Intelligence or the one flown by Bulgarian defector.

It should be noted that during WWII Soviets had a fighter squadron deployed at Bari, Italy, which was flying escorts for transports bringing supplied to Tito's Partizans.
