Quickie Review: Jules' CD

I'll also vouch for its very high quality; well done Jules.

I got my copy in yesterday's mail and have had a look at parts of it. There are very many pictures on this disc and the detail captured is very clear on most I've looked at. One can see just how crudely Soviet air machinery was built. If you have any interest in MiGs, Sukhois and Mils and building models of same, you really should get one of these discs. I think it's definitely worth it. I'm not sure but I think I saw Guidelines in the back of a couple of photos. There's also one pic with an Il-28 in the near distance. I hope it shows up in some of the pics I haven't gotten to yet.

Most definitely. Jules produced them himself after running the idea in front of us here. AFAIK, he took all the pictures himself whilst touring eastern Germany and western Poland.

In museum specimens, I wonder how much of the 'crudeness' - if you mean ill-fitting panels, lumps and bumps - is due to poor building and how much to poor maintenance. A/cs in service, even when the paintwork is in a state, have a smoother appeareance to my untrained eye.

One thing that I always found odd was the sheer number of air scoops protruding from the intake/engine/avionics on these planes. On Western aircrafts, these are usually of the recessed type - the ones looking like half-funnels - and so they are on the L-39, but the Russians apparently never used this configuration. One wonders whether engineering has its fads too...

I wondered that myself. It's obvious on some that I've seen that maintenance isn't high on the list.

One of the most memorable features of the K-P MiG-19 is the rash of small scoops to install around the tail. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr.

Nothing being nex to a real Mig to get a good look, the Q symbol on many DDR aircraft for quality....

Walked around real L-39's it didnt float my boat like a Mig21 or SU-22 did..

yup, and you people, if you buy one of my DDR and Polish Aircraft and helo cd's you will notice the size and non flush fitting of the rivets, panel lines etc etc :-)

engineers do have fads. like archtects and musicians. remember the 60's when new buildings all had that shit-a-brick look to then? or psychedelic music?

you're here in the 20th century? pass that bong over here, bill. i was thinking of industrial and commercial buildings.

someone plunked out:

New buildings had psychedelic music? Can't recall that, but then I'm here in the early 20th century. Georgian architecture was all the rage here in the '60s and '70s. They even stripped all the art deco decoration off a bank building downtown and gave it a faux Colonial look. 5 storey buildings do NOT look right as Colonials. The only art deco building left downtown is our 'skyscraper', the Greist Building. It's a whopping 12 storeys and can be seen from most areas of the countryside. Soon it'll be overshadowed by the convention center/hotel that the powers have commanded to be built.
