There is no way this should really be considered v1.0. Microprose had to push it to v1.0 in order to release it to the Marketplace - personally I disagree with that decision since most reasonable people will interpret v1.0 as a finished product, albeit one that may get some updates and bug fixes. But anyway, that happened, and the consequences are lots of people will buy it and see a partly finished aircraft; whether they know the back-story and the dev team's stated intent to get this up to standard is another question.

Don’t expect massive changes. It’s a welcome hotfix for the flight model, but I think that’s about it.

I couldn't fly a B-17 on a prayer. I am more interested from a historical standpoint. I will generally start in the air and shoot screenshots. I build scale models and both World War I and World War II aviation are my milieu. I build jets, but I don't particularly care for them. I'm still a little 12 year old kid going on 80, I like to blow the props. :) The model is the Heller 1/72 Polikarpov I-153 kit in the markings of Major Sergei I. Gritsevets who scored twelve victories against Japanese Ki-27s in what is known as the "Nomonhan Incident" in the Summer of 1939.

Hi Cazzie!
Little Info about your Heller 1/72 Polikarpov I-153 kit.Its in original from the Czech Plastic Kit Company Smer and was reboxed in 1997 by Heller.

Oh yes, very familiar with SMER models, have built and own several unbuilt kits. This is my 1/72 scale SMER Lavockin LA-7, which I believe is an old KOPRO kit remastered by SMER.

Hi Cazzie!

Yes its a reboxed Kopro Kit.I know it under the original KP batch (Kovozavodie Prostejov-Metalfabric in Prostejov!?).

Maybe the Moulds are metalmade-However i had many KP Models mostly Russian and Czech Stuff with good Quality.

KP has produced in 1/72 the LA-5Fn in 1987.It was a very nice Model too.

But Smers Quality was in my eyes much better as KP.

Many Models are reboxed later by Revell,Heller and Monogram.

But it was mostly the same unchanged content but for a higher Price.
