Model Forum / General / Models / June 2007Quickie Review: Jules' CD
I got my copy in yesterday's mail and have had a look at parts of it. There are very many pictures on this disc and the detail captured is very clear on most I've looked at. One can see just how crudely Soviet air machinery was built. If you have any interest in MiGs, Sukhois and Mils and building models of same, you really should get one of these discs. I think it's definitely worth it. I'm not sure but I think I saw Guidelines in the back of a couple of photos. There's also one pic with an Il-28 in the near distance. I hope it shows up in some of the pics I haven't gotten to yet. Bill Banaszak > I got my copy in yesterday's mail and have had a look at parts of > it.

Jules produced them himself after running the idea in front of us here. AFAIK, he took all the pictures himself whilst touring eastern Germany and western Poland.

I was low on batteries and memory on the cards so limited to what i could take. glad u like em, i did em as referance to model makers...and sold one from here, to a guy in Devon, forget his name.... So thats 3 from here, only one was sold, one swopped for others and the one for you for getting me the decals (to use on a SU22, which can i add, i took some great walk around of 3 of em!!!!) Cmon you guys, buy em, 5 quid deliverd UK, 7quid world wide http://www.julianhales.co.uk/military_images_samples.htm Im due to go back again in July and need to raise some cash for the fuel!!! > I got my copy in yesterday's mail and have had a look at parts of > it.

In museum specimens, I wonder how much of the 'crudeness' - if you mean ill-fitting panels, lumps and bumps - is due to poor building and how much to poor maintenance. A/cs in service, even when the paintwork is in a state, have a smoother appeareance to my untrained eye. One thing that I always found odd was the sheer number of air scoops protruding from the intake/engine/avionics on these planes. On Western aircrafts, these are usually of the recessed type - the ones looking like half-funnels - and so they are on the L-39, but the Russians apparently never used this configuration. One wonders whether engineering has its fads too...

It's obvious on some that I've seen that maintenance isn't high on the list. > One thing that I always found odd was the sheer number of air scoops > protruding from the intake/engine/avionics on these planes.

Nothing being nex to a real Mig to get a good look, the Q symbol on many DDR aircraft for quality.... > > One thing that I always found odd was the sheer number of air scoops > > protruding from the intake/engine/avionics on these planes.

Walked around real L-39's it didnt float my boat like a Mig21 or SU-22 did.. > One of the most memorable features of the K-P MiG-19 is the rash of > small scoops to install around the tail. yup, and you people, if you buy one of my DDR and Polish Aircraft and helo cd's you will notice the size and non flush fitting of the rivets, panel lines etc etc :-) £5 post free UK, £7 world wide, paypal take for overseas sending > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. >> > In museum specimens, I wonder how much of the 'crudeness' - if you >> > mean ill-fitting panels, lumps and bumps - is due to poor building and [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > >> Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. engineers do have fads. like archtects and musicians. remember the 60's when new buildings all had that sh.t-a-brick look to then? or psychedelic music? someone plunked out: > engineers do have fads. like archtects and musicians. > remember the 60's when new buildings all had that > sh.t-a-brick look to then? or psychedelic music? New buildings had psychedelic music? Can't recall that, but then I'm here in the early 20th century. Georgian architecture was all the rage here in the '60s and '70s. They even stripped all the art deco decoration off a bank building downtown and gave it a faux Colonial look. 5 storey buildings do NOT look right as Colonials. The only art deco building left downtown is our 'skyscraper', the Greist Building. It's a whopping 12 storeys and can be seen from most areas of the countryside. Soon it'll be overshadowed by the convention center/hotel that the powers have commanded to be built.
