Redbox, the website linked is Ukrainian. Not sure about the Orion/Haron brand

Jakko ‌
Exactly, that's why I'm wondering what's going on there … Anybody know for sure?

I've spent a bit of time having a look into this and from what I found it looks like Haron is a Russian company and Orion Miniatures is Unkrainian (I can't find a postal address for either). On 'theminiaturespage.com' it says:
"Haron Miniatures provides web support for Orion Miniatures, and participated in the making of Orion's first set of figures. All sales are through Orion."
From the information about Orion Miniatures it says:
"Haron supports our web-site and also participated in making of our first set. Our next 2 sets were created in cooperation with Dark Dream Studio. We have no office, address or phone/fax, we are even located in different cities. We sell our product internationally, but only to the dealers at wholesale prices."
Personally I would conclude from that if Haron only supports Orion, the company nationality should be changed to Ukrainian. I also have a box of their figures which clearly state they are made in Ukraine.

changed 👍

You can add a new topic on your own, by adding a kit for it. Only empty topics are auto-deleted.

Alex K
Sure, dear Frank, but I can't add a topic if there is NO kit available - but there are, instead, a number of interesting gallery articles for scratch-built models of said subject... like in this case:

scalemodels.ru/artic..ovskijj-bich-22.html

bughunter
Then I would add a gallery article and edit it afterwards. There is also a topic field.

Alex K
Unless I'm terribly mistaken (and apologies if I do), you can NOT add a NEW topic by using the topic field on the edit form of gallery articles... (as is the case with new kits). The same also used to apply for new entry books, again if I'm not mistaken...
See, for instance, always in the case above: scalemates.com/articles/article.php?id=437176&m=edit
The topic field in the "edit gallery article" form in fact only allows you to select from a pre-existing list of topics - if you simply write the name of the new topic, the topic still "doesn't exist" - unlike what happens when you enter a kit for a new topic...

bughunter
I must admit that I have not tried this. Thanks for the explanation! May be the behavior of the topic fields should be identical.
Otherwise, if the topic is added and the article is not assigned "quickly" (within the timer) it would be auto-deleted too?

Alex K
Edit: Yes. And also the reverse: It has already happened, for instance with this gallery, which had been added in the past: maquette72.free.fr/a.._db70/index_gm89.php
But since no "Dyle et Bacalan DB-70" topic was created soon enough... ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyle_et_Bacalan_DB-70 ) the added gallery simply vanished, after a certain time...
That's why when a gallery article. for such an esoteric topic with no kit available, is added, one has to ask for those mates with the power to add topics... to do so.
Or else (as I think I have asked Tim before), one should be able to add new topics when adding the relevant gallery articles and books...

Eddie Mann
It would be better to merge :
SCM Topic: Short S.23 into
SCM Topic: Short Empire as there was also a Short Empire S.30

Alex K
Good catch! 👍 In this case both S.23 and S.30 should be merged into Short Empire, right? (wiki seems to agree...)

Eddie Mann
Yes,
SCM Topic: Short S.30 into
SCM Topic: Short Empire

Alex K
... agreed, this makes sense... so this should be a 3 to 1 merging... S.23 and S.30 to Empire...

scalemates
done 👍

Limited run kit took longer than expected - had problem with fit of the canopy and damaged it. Overall i enjoyed making it but shame SH didn't retool it like they have with the other P-40s.

S M
I'm interested to see how oil pastels work

Skyhiker
What the heck is that thing supposed to do? I've never seen it before.

Nicolas
Following
Since Figure 6 shows a table for performance gains at different altitudes by injecting liquid oxygen into the compressor, I assume that this is the injection system.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Andrea Brenco
Thank you everybody for your interest!
@Nicolas and Skyhiker : yes is a test apparatus for injecting liquid oxygen into the turbocharger of a conventional DB engine.
I will add more info when the model will be finished, thank you!

Andrea Brenco
@ S M : I willl post something about the oil pastels ASAP, thanks|

Villiers de Vos
Nice progress.

J35J
Great work !

Villiers de Vos
Very nice effects.

Guy Rump
Very impressive job! 👍

Dutch
Vladica, I found the kit in my stash. I will package it tonight and calculate a postal estimate to Serbia for you. Kind regards, Dutch

Vladica Jović
Let me know how much the postage would cost to Serbia, so I can see if I can afford it. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Dutch
Vladica,
I packaged the kit as lightly and securely as possible, but the shipping estimate to Serbia is $35.60. Your total would be $50 USD. If you want it, please send my your complete name, shipping address and email address for the Customs form. Kind regards, Dutch

Vladica Jović
Thanks for the info. Sorry, but that's a bit much for me. Tell me how much it would cost to ship that model to Chicago? I have a relative there, so I could ask him to send to his address. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Dutch
$8.60 to Chicago.

Vladica Jović
Okay, I'll contact my brother in Chicago today, to see if he's on vacation by chance and to agree on shipping. Please send me your Paypal account and your email address so that we can pay you and send you the address in Chicago. I will contact you as soon as I hear from my brother. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Dutch
Okay. My PayPal address is: vertol-107@hotmail.com

Dutch
Vladica, Can we possibly trade? I know of a vendor in Serbia who sells UpRise decals. Can you purchase UpRise1:72 Douglas A-4E/F Skyhawk Stencils - UR72176 in Serbia? You could just mail them in an envelope with a stamp to me. If I mail the Mirage to Chicago = 2 UR72176. If I mail the Mirage to Serbia = 3 UR72176. you think that is a fair trade, please let me know. Kind regards, Dutch

Vladica Jović
In principle, it can. I'll stop by the Post Office afterwards to check how much the postage costs and I'll call the decal seller to ask if he has three in stock. I will contact you when I check it. Best regards, Vladica Jović.

Vladica Jović
So I will buy you the 3 pcs of decals you asked for and send them to you, and you will send me Mirages to Serbia. I don't have to pay you anything. We will do so. Best regards.

Dutch
Vladica, Please give my your full name, address and email (for customs form). Kind regards, Dutch

Vladica Jović
I just sent an inquiry to the dealer for the decals. I'm waiting for an answer. Best regards.

Vladica Jović
I would just take a look at your decal offer tonight, maybe you have something I need, so I would pay you to send it all together, if I find something interesting.

Dutch
Let me know before 10PM and I will include it in the box.

Vladica Jović
I just got a call from this man who sells decals. There is currently only one set in stock.

Vladica Jović
Would you like another set of decals?

Vladica Jović
He still doesn't know when he will get two more sets of those decals. What do you suggest ? Best regards.

Dutch
Vladica,
I see the other two MIrage decals that you want. I can add those to the package. I can substitute the following UpRise decals:
(1) YF-23 Black Widow II, UpRise 1:144, UR144200;
(1) RA-5C Vigilante (RVAH-11) UpRise 1:144 UR14425;
(1) Boeing 707 KAL "First shooted" UpRise 1:144 URC14413

Or, if he carries CtA decals, then you could ask for:
(2) Boeing KC-135T Stratotanker Tail painted for a 100th anniversary 116th ARS, CtA Models (cut then add) 1:144 144073
Does that sound fair?
Kind regards,
Dutch

Vladica Jović
So you want the following decals:
UpRise1:72 Douglas A-4E/F Skyhawk Stencils - UR72176
(1) YF-23 Black Widow II, UpRise 1:144, UR144200;
(1) RA-5C Vigilante (RVAH-11) UpRise 1:144 UR14425;
(1) Boeing 707 KAL "First shot" UpRise 1:144 URC14413
