Apart from my small faux pas with the original covers, now rectified, we have successfully acheived that.

i personally thank you and the administrators for taking the time and effort to allow forum members to access these great models within forum rules

Cheers, Herky, while few if any of us condone the rabid copyright violations of those sites, personally I think that we have a better chance of changing those mindsets by supporting those original designers like MaksArt and building their models as a demonstration of our support and appreciation of their skill and art.

Having said that, I went to print the Lun in 1/72 tonight only to have my printer inform me that it was not going to talk to me until I feed it a set of new ink cartridges - which I won't have til next week some time...if I am not careful I can see myself succumbing to temptation to print and start all these models...

Well at least you got in downloaded so you can print, its tell me 6 hours to download. Tried half a dozen times yesterday both in IE and Mozilla and would freeze up at about 9%.

Check out the file size, 176mb for the Ecroplan.

Downloaded OK for me, but it did take about 20 min.
Good looking models, wish there was an English translation for the instructions, but the pictures should work........Rich

Any ideas for getting it to download. The best I've got was 15% saying 10 minutes to go. Let it sit for an hour (doing nothing else on computer, nothing else open) and it didn't move from there.

They all have downloaded relatively quick for me. Latest Firefox browser and cable internet. Some are quite large and took a few more minutes than the others.

There are minimal instructions. Most of the Russian is information about the actual subject and some of the progams used to make the model files. The attached file is a translation of what instructions are included, along with the original Russian.
