New Stuff
"Russian Knights"
SU-27 Air Team

www.icm.com

Model company ICM in the Ukraine has released a new 1:72 scale Sukhoi Su-27 Jet Fighter. The kit represents one of the "Russian Knights", an AF Display Team.

The SU-27 is Russia's fourth generation fighter, and serves with some of the the CIS Air Forces, including Russia and the Ukraine. As well as with other countries such as China, Vietnam, Latin America, Africa and Asia.

The kit features engraved paneling, highly detailed landing gear, and colorful decals to model any aircraft of the "Russian Knights" Display Team.

"The Russian Knights are an aerobatic demonstration team of the Russian Air Force. Originally formed on April 5, 1991 at the Kubinka Air Base as a team of six Sukhoi Su-27s, the team was the first to perform outside the Soviet Union in September 1991 when they toured the United Kingdom. On December 12, 1995, disaster struck as three team members flew into a mountainside while practicing formation flying in adverse weather. Despite this unprecedented tragedy, the team bounced back and now performs with four Su-27P's and 2 Su-27UB's.
 
The USS Onondaga
www.flagshipmodels.com

The USS Onondaga is a medium skills level model to construct. While the model itself is easy to build, the extensive photo etch sheet will require someone with experience working with photo etched parts to apply them. The kit features resin and white metal cast parts, decal flag, photo etch parts, illustrated instructions.

USS Onondaga , a 2592-ton
twin-turret monitor, was built at Greenpoint, New York. Commissioned in March 1864, she spent her entire active career with the James River Flotilla, covering the water approaches to Richmond, Virginia, during the Civil War's last year. While on the James, she was involved in several engagements in June, August and December 1864 and in January 1865.

Onondaga was decommissioned at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in June 1865. In an arrangement approved by the Congress, she was sold back to her builder in March 1867 and immediately resold to France. The monitor subsequently had long service in the French Navy.

Lenticular Re-Entry Vehicle [LRV] (1962)
www.fantastic-plastic.com

Fantastic Plastics has a new kit out, the Lenticular Re-Entry Vehicle [LRV] from 1962

It's a 22 piece resin kit, in 1:72 scale.

In the early 1960s, the U.S. Air Force purportedly began development of this modified flying saucer-like airframe for use as a spaceborne nuclear weapons platform.

The kit looks flash free and right on the money, nice and crisp.
