Eugene, what kit is that BMP?
This ARK kit is really a beauty (NOT) I need to re-engineer a lot

Intersting that a base is included. Is that something that can be upgraded into a decent diorama?
I have previously build the Lindberg T-54/55. Really needed a LOT of updating!

The mountings for the bogies were installed incorrectly, so I had to cut them from the hull and turn around . Lost some parts or could not find those for the top of the periscope and made more from plastic card. Finally broke the piece that holds one of the front lights and used some plastic rod to replace it. FUN
And had so much fun with the indie tracks as you can see.

Kj
The base is super flimsy, more so than Miniart. You can see thru 3 places.

After some confusion as to the location of the forum for this campaign I can finally post what I plan on building. (Thanks Mark C. for your help)
I can provide CAS for any Russian armor in this group build with this OEZ Mig-21 MF /bis / SMT. I won it several years ago at a contest raffle and thought this would be a good chance to built it.

Awesome addition to the campaign! Welcome, Alan!

I've made a decision about which kit I'm going to build and it's the Pacific Coast Models 1/32nd scale Hawker Hurricane MkI. It's really very well detailed with resin and photoetch and plenty of well moulded plastic.Should look stunning when finished. Just sorting out which version I'm going to build, I was hoping to build Edgar "Cobber" Kain's mount but I'm not sure since this is the fabric wing if it's correct for the time period. I'll do some research and see.

My search of the web is proving virtually useless can somebody please tell me if the fabric wing MKI was used in France by 73 squadron?

Wikipedia has this section on 73 squadron and the photo of a mk1. in France looks like a metal wing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._73_Squadron_RAF
This link has serial numbers of a/c:
http://www.epibreren.com/ww2/raf/73_squadron.html
Lots of photos and many show metal wings. One color photos looks like it could be a fabric wing.

Thanks Bob I'd seen those and had thought much the same. Nothing quite definitive but certainly leaning towards a metal wing so Edgar Kain might not quite be on the cards. I'll keep searching thanks for your efforts on my behalf.
