I know the ones you’re talking about, and they are about all I’ve been able to find, and one of those has been heavily retouched.
As I said, it is a small matter, not only because I don’t have a lot of experience with making a scale piece of grassy ground, or, as what the photos seem to indicate, muddy bare ground, so I’ll do what sounded to me like the best course of action, to have a nice piece of board, perhaps clear cherry, with a small plaque identifying it. And seeing as I’m in a cranky mood, I’ll try to use legible Cyrillic in addition to English(Chyeranovski looks a lot more impressive in Cyrillic, at least to me it looks that way).
As to the kit itself, I’ve had to make some changes in order for it to look a lot closer to the three views I’ve been able to find. The guy who runs Unicraft, Igor, is really nice, and has a nice line of other resin kits of birds that few have heard about, other than historians. Although they are all 1/72, except for one that is 1/35 in addition to a 1/72 offering, this being a Baumgartl Helio Fly, which was a man-carrying personal helicopter.
If you or anyone else is interested, here is the link to his site, so you can peruse at your leisure, perhaps you’ll find something to your liking.
