Aircraft And Helicopters
Note: The Soviet section has been broken up into a number of subsections, because the original had gotten far too large.

H&R Mi-26
A massive, wonderful model (and the only available) of this impressive beast. Build is easy, with resin hull, pewter additions, and brass rotors.
H&R MI-6
Another great model, similar to the above (but of course, not nearly so massive)
H&R Mil MI-24 Hind-E
A surprisingly good model from H&R, with armament options and a one-piece propeller.
In general, H&R helicopters compare rather favorably with other manufacturers (GHQ excepted)
MI-24A
GHQ's excellent early Hind. I haven't figure out how to appropriately attach the rotors yet. I used a new inking technique on this model.
MI-6
Skytrex model, heavily rebuilt by me. An absolutely massive model. As far as I know, no longer in production.
GHQ Mi-8
I tried to airbrush out the flight stand
More modern photos of the GHQ Mi-8
Mi-17
This is a 3-D printed model from Kokoda Trail Models, scaled up from a 1/600 scale model
TU-128 "Fiddler"
A fine 3-D printed model from Shapeways, one that is absolutely huge, but fairly lightweight because of the material. The surface is a little rough, but the missiles are extremely well done.
H&R Mig-23
Missiles are AS7s (I think) from CinC Soviet Aircraft missile pack
CinC Mig-23
At least that is probably what it is... came from a big eBay box of aircraft.
Mig-27
Skytrex model. Kitted out with CinC Soviet missiles. Admittedly, not a great shot.
Another version... This may be an H&R model. I don't know if this is a Mig-23 or a Mig-27.
H&R Mig-25
Decals from I-94 Enterprises
H&R Mig-29
This model is very, very small -- seems closer to about 1/320th. In retrospect, I'm not even sure this is a Mig-29.
ISM Mig-29
Unlike other ISM models, it has no weapons cast on
Mig-31
I believe this is the H&R model
Mig-31
I believe that this is Skyraider's version of the Mig-31, but I have really no idea.
Mig-21
I believe this is an H&R model
Another version
CinC (I believe) Mig-21
Mig-19
I believe this is the ISM model
H&R SU-7
Decals from I-94 Enterprises
GHQ SU-25 Grach
A super ground attack aircraft from GHQ, although assembly is a bit difficult -- tough to keep the rocket pods attached. I need a better photo, as this one is way too washed out.
SU-25 Frogfoot
ISM version of the Soviet ground attack aircraft
H&R SU-27
ISM version of the model, complete with a broad array of air-to-air missiles
Eastern Express AN-72P Naval Patrol Aircraft
Antonov AN-30
Plastic model from either Toko or Eastern Express (I think they are essentially selling the same products). This version is a mapping aircraft. I didn't use the common paint scheme, because I assume in wartime it wouldn't be painted up like an Aeroflot jet...
Antonov AN-94
Same comments as above, but this is an AWACS-type aircraft
