Welcome aboard!!Do you have any current work/build!
I have a plastic Heller "La Sirene", which has thread hand made shrouds and an interesting simplified rigging. I have three cheap wooden sets which will require additional pieces but I already localized a supplier in Mexico. I am extied to begin a new stage of modelling.
Welcome aboard SOS, Policarpov! We suggest you start a building log. What do you think?
May I know how you get your nickname? Polikarpov Design Bureau was a Soviet OKB (design bureau) for aircraft, led by Nikolai Nikolaevich Polikarpov. Dux Factory was acquired by the USSR and became part of Polikarpov.

My nickname has a quite simple story. I like particularly the P-51 MUstang, so I chose the nickname "Mesteño." This is the original spanish word for community owned herds (horses, oxen, sheep.etc) in Spain,so the name was applied to roaming herds in the Spanish America. As a veterinarian I liked it so I commented with my daughter, and she asked: "Dad, is there a short chubby plane?", "Well, yeah," I answered, "The Polikarpov". "That is your plane identity dad. " So that's the story. I always choose that nickname in modeling forums.
