Welcome to the new forum

[Supertom]

Hey all, here's our new group build forum.  Since this is for our Soviet-themed build, I thought we could have a little fun on this board, in the form of a new rule:

1) We shall address each other as "Comrade," eg Comrade Alvis or Comrade Tom.
2) We shall say patriotic phrases in praise of the Motherland whenever possible.  Invent your own slogans if necessary. (this one'll probably be hilarious)

We can add other rules as we go along.

So, onward, Comrades!

Da Comrad Tomski!

Perhaps you could share with us the latest on the Mig-25K projekt, with which we, the workers, shall smite the bourgiousie imperialists!

[Radish]

Us Heroes of the Derbyshire Soviet need to be involved too. What about Comrade Tomski's MiG-25K.
What scale has the Politburo decided on?
Is this a Five Year Plan?
Will the Revisionist Trotskyites have their say?
Have the KGB been sidelined? (interestingly, my sister-in-law's younger sister married a KGB officer from Estonia!!) But that side of the family are strange....they come from Ireland.
We in the Derbyshire Soviet are busy buying up central supplies of stockings and suspenders so that the deviant capitalist trannies can't wear them for their despicable fleshy shows like "The Rocky Horror Show" I'm serving "undercover" on this, trying to expose as much as possible...... about the deviant bourgoisie.

Kartoshka !
Zubnaya shotka !
Vessoli !
Blat !

Comrades,
       I've got one bird for the event...and maybe two !

Cheers

[Supertom]

Comrades, another new rule:

3) You can't drink beer.  Beer is for capitalists.  True patriots of the Soviet Motherland drink vodka. (but watch those knives, a bleeding patriot is a bloody patriot)

Hi, I just found this site...I'm normally a Hyperscaler, but it's funny that I'm currently finishing up a "what-if" carrier-based MiG, which involved almost a total redesign of much of the airframe.  I probably missed a lot of the details, as I'm new here, but what is the cutoff date for the contest, and to whom do I submit photos?

Comrade Andrei the Jolly Rogers capitalist......

Welcome aboard Comrade Andrew.

Comrade Supertom is our Commisar, all photos for publishing should be sent to him.  This is not an "official" contest, more a themed build that we are having, as such there is no closing date atm.

The official contest is the "Scale-o-rama" which has its own sub-forum.

Comrade Nevski.

Welcome to the Great Socialist Modeling Revolution Comrade Andrewski!

By the way, in case you haven't noticed, we only talk like that in this particular forum.  But anyway that's one of the unofficial rules of using the Soviet Carrier thread.  To reiterate:

1) You have to address fellow posters as "comrade."
2) Try to spout out random communist slogans (it gets pretty funny sometimes)
3) You can't drink beer in this forum.  Vodka only (if you don't drink that's OK)
4) You must have fun!

Have fun!

Comrade Tomski

Comrades,

I very much desire to reveal to you information regarding latest project from Comrade Artiom Mikoyan's glorious design bureau!  You will see the face of an old friend in the defense of our Fatherland, but in a totally new guise.  Our comrades in Artiom Ivanovich's team have worked countless hours completely redesigning the airframe structure to a configuration suitable for the brutality of carrier operations, a brutality only matched by the crimes of the Nazi pigs against our glorious Red Army only twenty years ago.  

I have great hopes, comrades, that my first attempt to attach a photo to a posting in here will be successful.  The project itself is nearly complete, this photo being well over a month old...but I have great hopes that you will see a familiar face in the wings shown.  This is of course from the supreme leadership and guidance of our wise and beloved leader, Leonid Ilyich.

Capitalist religious fools would call it "providence" that I, the humble servant of the Soviet Union, located this site long after this project was begun and conceived by the Party, but there we have the real answer, it was obviously the knowledge of the Party that enabled me to find you, my comrades!!

Za Rodina!!

Andrei Ivanovich D. the Jolly Rogers comrade

Comrades,
I've had it decided for me by the bones of Comrade Beria that my contribution to the glorious Motherland's Naval Sea Fighter (built in their thousand to defend the glorious hard working andexploited prolitariate....exploited by the devious capitalist-zionist pigs) will be a definite Sukhoi Fellatio.
Comrade Beria's bones have not yet defined the glorious modifications needed to a certain (secret) structure, but, of course, I can joyously reveal (and here you will shudder with anticipation) that the nose cone will be a pinkish purplish red.
Further more, the colour scheme will reflect the necessary need to offer confusion to the visual degredation of the zionist-capitalist forces seeking to oppress the glorious hard-working prolitariate who we all serve through the glorious struggle for International Workers worldwide, but especially in South Derbyshire.
Long Live the Revolution and beware Trotskyite counter revolutionaries under the guise of loyal socialists working to keep the glorious prolitariate free.
Long Live Comrade Castro.
May my flag pole never droop under the influence of the glorious prolitariate socialist Vodka. May I fall down safely.
 

[Captain Canada]

Comrades,
      Wodka  ? I must drink Wodka ? Can I meex eet with BEER ?

BTW...Kartoshka is potato in Rooskie..I think ! I I can't stop laughing at this Comrade thing....grown men ! Ha !

[smigield]

Comrades,

I embrace the glorious desire of the proletariat to focus on carrier aviation of the motherland, however, I feel it necessary to point out the...shall I say...limitations of only emphasizing a forty year period. Surely there is room to celebrate the motherland's great achievements in carrier aviation during the Great Patriotic War and into the 1980s.

In addition, the Smigield OKB is currently completing its first navalized MiG-37 Ferret and would hate to be excluded.

[Supertom]

Comrade Davidsky, fear not!  Progress that can only bring glory to our beloved Motherland is something that cannot be ignored!  We can always add it to a section entitled "Future of the Soviet Carrier Fleet."  This can only mean that our hated capitalist enemy and his lackeys will fear us more!  Bring out the vodka!  *hic*

Glorious news Comrade modellers. The factory at the secret location east of the Urals has supplied me with the basic but extremely socialist components to create my Sukhoi Fellatio in 1/48th scale. Many components need altering, however, due to Zionist-Imperial-Nazi-Capitalist infiltration at the source of production. The KGB have been informed and Comrade Butlin's establishment in Siberia will soon be swelled by despicable dissadent engineers.
Down with the Nazi-Imperialist deviants. They will need a thorough purge.
The glorious engineers at the prime Socialist construction settlement in South Derbyshire will continue to strive to achieve the Marxist-Leninist dream of ultimate socialist prolitarian dynamism.
Long live Comrade Castro.
Long live the Revolution.
Marxist-Leninist-Radiski philosophical dialectism dictates that the product of the toil of the glorious prolitariate in the socialist target of Bolshevik equality allows for the consumption of certain beverages laid down in the Marxist-Engels "Good Food Guide" and companion volume " Dialectic-Imperialism and defeating it by Socialist Consumption of Alchoholic Socialist Products", by Comrade Iva Pintortwo.
Therefore Comrades, it is your Socialist duty under the tasks laid down by the Comrades in the Politburo under the Directives of our beloved Comrade Lenin to consume vast quantities of good socialist beer in the knowledge that we are fulfilling the dialectical aims of the Beloved Socialist Lenin who guards the Revolution on behalf of the toiling socialist Marxist prolitariate.
Comrades.
I exhort you onwards to victory!!

Comrades, may I just say that this thread is in danger of overtaking Comrade Alvisanovs SPUD missile development thread as the "best thread ever"

Comrade Radishanov - were you a teacher?  Only a teacher could have such a thoroughly glorious knowledge of socialism!
