Recommended Posts

Here is my big Zveno.A real bear of a build! 2009_0425Spock0033.jpg

Where are the parasite fighters ???

It's just a TB-3 - excellent build and finish - but just a TB-3 on its own.

'Zveno' (meaning 'flight') is a TB-1 or TB-3 with fighters attached - in various forms with two, four - or even FIVE....

Here's my 'Zveno-1' - a TB-3 with two I-5's attached...

...and my 'Zveno-6 Aviamatka' - TB-3 with FIVE fighters attached.....

Lucien Harpress is doing a 'Zveno-7' here.

You've made a great TB-3 from the ICM kit - but it isn't a Zveno. :touche:

Cheers :thumbsup:

It's coming along. It's sort of on the back burner right now, as I have a bit of an obligation over at another site to finish up my Zveno 7. After that- we'll see. I still need to get back to work on my SSW R.VIII and put a few finishing touches on a multi-year Short Stirling build (not to mention that Goose that's been mocking me in the corner for the past year and a half), but I'm getting out of school so I'll have more time to build- hopefully.

I'm looking at possibly motorizing a Unicraft Bolkhovitinov "S" I have in the stash- the nose might be just big enough to fit a gearbox and a motor in it, and I wouldn't need to buy a new kit to do so.

We'll see, I guess. I'm always big on plans, not so much on action.

(Would this be a bad time to mention I just printed off 1/72 plans for the ANT-20 Maxim Gorky? :woot.gif::jaw-dropping: )

Very interesting photos of the 2 models. I have read Mr. Duffys articles on the Sveno 7 & wondered what it looked like. :jaw-dropping:
