So how would a poorly trained Iraqi pilot in a US Jet fair against a well-trained US pilot in a Russian Jet? A good pilot still counts regardless of the plane 
As for the quality of the Russian stuff, it's probably very comparable against the US equivalents. Don't forget the Russians had the first plane capable of a vertical climb, I may not be a fan of jets but I know a bit about some of the tech that goes in to them and the Russians have always been able to do more with less, especially when it comes to computers and software.

It's a wasted trip baby. Nobody said nothing about locking horns with no Tigers.

Hi Elliot
I got them through ebay. I should've really got them through this site
Model and Hobby Books
He quoted 51 euro delivered for the two of them, works out to around NZ$98. How does price that compare to JADAR?

Nice, makes me want to dig out some of my old SW kits I've got lurking in the stash. The the ones seemed quite cheap to.

My wife calls me a curmudgeon. I haven't looked it up but I assume it means "fun loving and free spirited" or some such twaddle. I inform and perform over at www.militarymodels.co.nz and stick my oar in here as well. My passion is WWII 1/35 armour but I'm coming around to liking the odd 1/32 thing...

Ouch, dude you should have told me you were going to be paying that much for them, I could have got you both for 24 euro delivered. I figured you were paying the standard 12 or so euro.

In an effort to complete some 9 armoured kits these arrived today from;
Firestorm, The barrelstore (after over three weeks airmail) and historex sent last week.
More soon! 251 and 250 tracks infantry to ride on the Comet and the STUG 3 crew for both.

I hope you intend blogging the kit here? I've always loved the Matchbox Privateer, I remember drooling over it in the 1987 Matchbox catalogue

I bought this in Tauranga model shop yesterday

Not even for me my prescious? Oh by the way I just happen to have a large library on the B-24 and the PY series (last count was about 25 books and counting).
