That astronaut on the ground reminded me of something. I saw a clip from a movie about some war on the moon. It made me think about the fact that war on earth is bad enough but war in space is horrifying. When you get shot on earth you can hide in a ditch, take some rest, tend to your wound and either go back to base or into the fight. If you get shot in space and it penetrates your suit your done for, you just die, no amount of bandages can help you in the few seconds you have. The last thing you see is the vast emptiness of space and/or the person who killed you. Your body dosent even decompose into the earth. You just lay there till you get back to earth or incinerated. Wow, see gorby a good build makes a person think about more than what meets the eye, this build is a perfect example. It makes you think. 11/10

Thanks Kesa. That's an interesting point.

Thanks Hans. 👍

UFO. One the best Gerry Anderson TV series. As far as world building and back story, intelligent scripts. Two things though the Moon Base Interceptors should of had cannons in case those humoungous missile's missed and Gabrielle Drake, fuelled a lot of fever dreams in my early teens. I could of been eleven though!

gorby
It seems we had a similar youthful love interest. 🙂
Thanks for the comment Mark.

Mark Sherwood
You're welcome, Gorby. 👍

I love KV tanks, and the Ekranami has a great brutal look in particular.
Some very nice details you have added already, will follow this 👀

I was pondering whether to buy that kit. So I am anxious about your build and appreciate some inside views on quality, fit, etc.

Marius
It feels like that set offers more of an orientation and instructions than actual parts. You're work so far looks great.

Raphael Bernecole
Thank you very much everyone 🙂

@ Michael Kohl : This kit is of quality and the instructions are detailed and very precise in order to realize the rest of the shelter. The Resin is fine and of quality. This project is attractive and can bring originality.
This kit requires a lot of work and precision to produce the many parts made of plastic cards.
In my opinion this kit is worth the investment since I'm hooked by this project. 🙂

Looks great. I have the kit in my stash, will have to build it soon 👍

Desert Marlin
After two hours, the whole cockpit, wings and "fuselage" were together. I got totally sucked in after the first two hours and it really got in the way of other projects! So fun!!!

Desert Marlin
Biggest issue is the choice of D-Day markings. The white bands are 60 mm on each wing and on the booms. This makes the individual stripes 12 mm. Pretty easy once you see it. I started out with 50 mm white band. That was clearly too short.

Desert Marlin
Model Master Neutral Gray on the underside and Vallejo 71.043 (US Olive Drab) on top. Lots of Tamiya Panel Line accent black overall.

Desert Marlin
The Mig Rigging is pretty fine... takes some "getting used to".

Desert Marlin
I have seen claims that Olds first two kills were in this specific aircraft.

Gary Victory
Really nice work DM....Lovely build.
Best story around Robin Olds in a P-38 was that he got behind a flight of 109's.....he was ready to open fire when his engines cut - dead. He had forgot to switch tanks to his internals when he jettisoned his external tanks. Instead of resolving his fuel transfer issues he just carried on lining up on the 109 and shot it down while in 'glide mode'. That's calmness under pressure for you.

Never a Pro
Great build! The nose wheel is up, does the the nose weight ball included in the kit need to be reinforced with extra lead?

Neuling
Top result!
