I've posted this request on Britmodeller, but it occurred to me that John might see it sooner here. Some years (decades) ago I made a rather nice, if limited, Russian injection model of this beast. I think a rather better one came out later, but I didn't have that. Can anyone identify the first kit, and tell me when it came out? Somewhere between 1990 and 1995? I know there was a later Maquette release, but suspect this was a re-release of the later kit. |

I'm sorry, Graham - I think I know the kit you're referring to; I might even own one, but I don't have an answer. My guess would be VES who were responsible for several nearly-anonymous Soviet-era kits of Russian subjects, but I really don't know for sure. According to Scalemates, Skarabey is another possibility. John |

Thanks John. Both Ed Russell and Nick Millman have pointed me at the Scalemates site, and it was the earlier 1980s kit that I had. It would be good to have found a better shot at the date, but I believe that there are (or were) holes in my lists from the late 80s so I'm going to have a stab at 1988. With a question mark. Nick suggests that there was a review, so I may go looking for that tomorrow. |

Here's a couple of articles from the old hobbyvista VVS site which might be of interest, although they may or may not refer to the specific kit you're asking about: http://vvs.hobbyvista.com/Modeling/Berezny...otkov/index.php http://vvs.hobbyvista.com/Modeling/Berezny.../Lowe/index.php John |

A&V models do a resin set of many of these early types, I thought that included the BI-1, but it's not though these maybe of interest to you they are similar. I can't find a full list of A&V models. Florow 4302 (1946) and this one Bisnovat "Samolyat" 5-2 (1949) and this one Tikhonravov I-302P Rocket Plane (1943) Stimpy |

Ah, the BI-1! One of my favorite esoteric aircraft! I have at least two versions of this little beast, one by "Modelism" of Russia, and another, the version with rocket pods on the wing tips, by what I think is VFS-Model, also from Russia, although I really can't figure out the Cyrillic writing on the box. These two kits are both injected with injected canopies! |
