Hi all,
Here is a '6 in 1' model I just finished of this Anigrand kit.
It would certainly make for an interesting plane to have in a scenario!
What with 2 x I-16 dive-bombers (each carries 2 x 250kg bombs) and then can act as a fighter, and 2 x I-5 and a I-Z fighter for self defence.
regards

What a beauty of a zvyeno! Nice detail! What scale is this? Rolando |

Hi Rolando,
It is 1/144 resin kit by Anigrand. |

You do know they used the Zveno for real? Not in this configuration mind, they used the TB3 mother ship with just a pair of underslung I16s to attack the Romanians at Ploesti and Constanza, as well as against the Germans in the South West in '41 |

Nice looking models. Did you have any issues with the construction? Kevin |

Hi Kevin,
Actually this was very easy to build. I think the Anigrand kits are getting better (I build a few), and all the planes in this kit went together without any putty or sanding and no holes to fill. I did use putty where the wing halves join on the undersurface and the joint line needed a little to help make it less obvious (see picture above).
The supports coulf be made better by making them from brass and the Z-1 planes support is not correct but eaasily fixed (I haven't done that though). |
