Got a large envelope drop through the door, contained the 2 complete DDR
decals sheets i need(way more than i actually needed), a Deutsch IPMS mag
and some flyers for the 40 years of there IPMS model show in Berlin in Sept.

Im gonna make myself very stupid later by calling the guy who sent them and
thank him in German, he went out of his way to help, i only asked if they
had a decal bank and could source sold old part used sheets i need for the
numbers and insignia etc but to get 2 brand new sheets was great, i know
there not cheap, as i have the 72nd and 48th by the same firm, and i had
tried to see if they did a 32nd but was told they didnt.......

Did i hear a rumour of a 32nd SU22? Was stood next to one of those too and
amazed how cool it looked......

Doesn't it? It has a very special appearance on the ground I find. I
am just in the finishing steps of my Kopro 1/48 Su-22M4, also in
markings of the ex-DDR (LSK/LV).
Mine is "546" of JBG-77 prior to it's farewell color scheme. This
model is quite a challenge though...

I have a good few of the 72bd KP? i think kits, i started one but made a
mess of the paint job so its stripped ready for another go. I have many walk
around pics i had taken last year by Anetts father. I heard the 48th kit
wasnt too great, but its out of my price range at the moment anyway. I have
some great images of the time i was at the military airbase museum at
Rothenburg, hope to go again this year...last year i twice visited Cottbus
and didnt know there was one there too. While i was at the base at
Rothenburg i was looking at the fuel trucks etc, and the snow blower truck i
saw, i was told the engine in the back was from a T34! Got loads of pics
from that visit so i will stick a load up on my site in the next 24 hours,
loads of Migs.....

Kopro once was KP..
Right, the 48th scale kit has got its weaknesses......bought a Cutting
Edge Cockpit for it.
I took a lot of pics of #366 on display at Nordholz in Northern
Germany. Currently in a poor state this one, especially the paint
scheme...
Camouflage patterns on the DDR-Fitters is a strange thing anyway, no
rules it seems, unique paint schemes for every single a/c...
I might pay a visit to Rothenburg and/or Laage this summer...sounds
interesting.
Yes, old T-34 - saw one in the nineties in some news footage during
the wars in former yugoslavia, still in active service.

I did notice that the SU22 i saw had a very bad paint scheme, lots of paint
patches that did not quite match the others.

I must remember to put some of the pics up from Rothenburg on my website, im
off to Niesky again in about 7 weeks so hope to go again, there is a T34 as
a memorial in that area, i stood on it last year.
