ONLINE READ: RUSSIAN SUPERSTARS FROM ARK MODELS OF MOSCOW


Ark Models of Moscow features in today's online brochure. It's full of interesting Russian and Soviet machines, plus a sprinkling of what look like remarketed ex-Frog/Novo kits.




The Polikarpov I-16 single-seat fighter features strongly at Ark, and it's an interesting subject. We haven't had a chance to build a kit yet, but will report when we do. The 1:48 scale ones shown here should make valuable additions to any collection to this scale. The red-and-white one (header pic) has especially interesting markings.

We'll be adding a video of a preserved I-16 at an air show very soon, so watch out for that.



Not unreasonably, Ark's website is in Russian, so fire up Google translator if you want to know what they are saying over there. Then again, to do it the easy way, click the UK flag at top right.
