« on: January 03, 2012, 01:08:51 AM »
Just picked up a new Pocketbond catalogue with the Kopro (KP) range in it. Not sure how "new" they all are, but there are a number of things of whiffy interest (no pics to be found on the web, unfortunately):

MiG-15 in USAF colours
Spitfire Mk.IXE in Israeli black with a red stripe colours
A bizarre mistel with a Lippisch DM-1 glider mounted on top of a Siebel Si 204A
Two different kits of the Have Blue Stealth demonstrator

Some of those aren't/mightn't be whifs.

The MiG could be an evaluation machine whilst the Spitfire was used by the IDF's 101 tajeset commander and the Siebel/DM-1 was a combo used to test the DM-1.  Obviously they have whif potential, but they aren't 'whifs out of the box' per se.

Well I didn't say they were whiffs-in-a-box, just that they were of likely interest to whiffers, i.e. oddball aircraft and/or unusual markings.

You could use the Siebel Mistel fittings for all sorts of shenanigans: swap the DM-1 for a P.13a or a DFS-194 (prototype Komet), or swap the carrier for a glass-nosed Si-204 D/E (currently in production) or even an Aero-C3A/B (same thing) and make the whole thing post-war Czech....
