1-144 scale models
GOODWILL COMPANIONS
Paulus Victor has quickly established a reputation for high-quality themed releases, and this 1/144 set focuses on the goodwill trip by two Su-27 Flankers to the US in July 1990, which included their being escorted by Montana Air National Guard (ANG) F-16As on their return trip.
CZECH CARRIERS
Designed for Zvezda’s recent 1/144 Boeing 747 MAX 8, these BOA Decals markings provide for six of the airliners operated by Czech company Smartwings.
SOVIET SHIP-HUNTING PIKE
Soviet World War Two-era submarines don’t seem to have the same level of attraction among manufacturers as German or even American subjects, so Zvezda’s newly tooled 1/144 Shchuka-class vessel will be popular with maritime modellers.
PHARAOH'S REVENGE
Trumpeter’s splendid 1/144 Tu-16 Badger receives an Egyptian makeover from ace modeller Juanjo Dominguez, who adds 3D-printed air-to-surface missiles for a finishing touch.
GAS-BAG TOWING
Having started with conventional Male and Female versions of the Mark IV tank, Brengun has taken a decidedly left-field approach for its latest offering, that of an airship mooring post/tug as used with either 23- or R23X-class British airships.
REMOTE-CONTROL CATS
Platz has offered a particularly eye-catching set of schemes with its two-kit 1/144 F6F-5 Hellcat package: those worn by remotely controlled target drone aircraft.
