                        Lend-Lease Oddities
                        Posted by ChrisJH666 on Monday, June 26, 2017 4:21 PM

                        I have a book in my collection called "Lend-Lease Aircraft in World War II"  and there are some fascinating aircraft in there. Anyone for a Vultee Vanguard, or a Brewster Bermuda (Buccaneer in the US), or even a Curtis Seamew? Incidentally, does anyone know of a 1/48 Vultee Vengeance out there?

                        In the queue: 1/48 Beech Staggerwing (RAAF), P38 (RAAF), Vultee Vengeance (RAAF), Spitfire Vb (Malta), Spitfire VIII x2 (RAAF), P39 x2 (RAAF), Martin Baltimore (Malta?), Martin Maryland (Malta), Typhoon NF1b, Hellcat x2 (FAA)

                        I was watching Wings of Russia last night and just learned that the U.S. gave Russia a small amount of B-25's. I knew about the P-39's and of course the P-40's, but not the B-25's.

                        There are a lot of interesting and little modeled aircraft out there. I've not heard of those you have mentioned though.

                        Don't forget the Russian use of P-63s and A-20s as well...

                        There is a table in this article of all aircraft  by type and quantity provided to the Soviet Union by Britain and the USA via lend lease.

                        https://www.google.com/amp/s/ww2-weapons.com/lend-lease-tanks-and-aircrafts/amp/

                        as well as other tables listing other items. The trucks figure is most interesting as more were provided than the Soviets produced on their own.

                        The lens lease aircraft that were still around after the war actually got code names P-63 Fred A-20 Box B-25 Bank PBY Mop

                        Remember the two USAF pilots who in 1952, I believe, crossed the Yalu River and shot up a Soviet base covered with P-39's, P-63's, A-20's, and Mig's.

                        Hi,

                        It looks like there is a company called AZ Models that does a 1/48 scale Vengenace.

                        Thanks for the heads-up Pat. I took a look at the link you provided and read the review. All in all, I think I'll pass on that one. An awful lot of work to build an inaccurate model. Shame

                        In the queue: 1/48 Beech Staggerwing (RAAF), P38 (RAAF), Vultee Vengeance (RAAF), Spitfire Vb (Malta), Spitfire VIII x2 (RAAF), P39 x2 (RAAF), Martin Baltimore (Malta?), Martin Maryland (Malta), Typhoon NF1b, Hellcat x2 (FAA)
