Quote from: Old Wombat on July 11, 2026, 08:35:41 AM1 x Brengun 1/72 Czech Letov S4A Late Biplane Fighter (BRE-BRS72023) - for my Czech kit collection, which will hopefully become builds, one day ... Like everything else.



It's Tiny:o

Only about 8cm long with an 11cm wingspan!  :blink:

Well it is 1/72  ;)

Be interested in your views as to the quality of the kit. My only experience with Brengun is with some of their "bits and bobs"

I've managed to lose some of the Pe-8's defensive guns.
I received two sets of these today which will go towards replacing them.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

That could be interesting, as I have two Brengun Letovs, the S4A fighter & a much bigger S-16 recce/bomber in the same scale. The former is all resin, the latter is all IM styrene (Short run? Doesn't have locating pins, anyway).

I need to start boosting my out-put of completed kits, these may make a good starting point.

I like the look of them.  What scale are they? Google translate tells me they are 1/35.

You could whiff them.  Change the weapons.  Give them ammo pouches, pistols, and carbines slung across their backs.
But i'd be tempted to try some sort of martial arts movie diorama.  Suspend one in mid air like there was wire work going on.  Add a camera crew and a director...

One of these years I'm going to get around to doing that to the 1/12th scale Roman Centurion I've got in the stash. I even managed to pick up a 1/12th scale Beretta Mod 38 SMG for him at Telford one year, which seemed appropriate... :wacko:

A fair bit of googling says they used Madsen M/50, which the British Army nearly got instead of Sterlings.
Looks rather like an M3 Grease Gun.

LOL - the actual idea was to have him in Vietnam, with "Romanes Eunt Domus" written on the side of his helmet, the way pissed-off GIs would have peace signs and the like written on theirs.
