Karaya 1/48 Martinsyde F.4 Buzzard VVS RKKA
Model fresh catch-ended the other day. Not a good resin but the model performed very well. The assembly passed without incident, the only thing - I had to cut the front wing. Markings painted through stencils.
And a little bit of history - the party martinsaydov was purchased in England in 1922. In those years the fleet was in terrible condition, and these fighters were be most welcome. Aircraft were used until the end of the 20s, along with the Fokker D-7, and the Nieuport.

You have such a product probably is not)) - is a monofilament company Hobby-plus from Vitebsk. Analogues of the thread from Wingnut Wings or any spandex.
