Take a look at the poster put out by the Russians to celebrate Federal Day, as a Tribute to all the members of their armed services.


Notice anything strange about the ship....

It's the USS Missouri!!!

Closer look.


Gotta get some better proofreaders.

They copied the B-29 after WW2, why not the Missouri! :-)

Dave,
Good eye!
So I guess Russian billboard designers are big clip art fans too?

Good to see you around here again?
You coming to Nashua Mon night? Bringing a kit for the exchange?

My boss's plan to have me in FL this week fell apart, so I'll be there. Kit in hand too.

Dave,
sorry to hear that. Fla would be nice this time of year.

Whatcah bringing to Nashua?

Going to make it to Marthas with the crowd? It's gotten to the point where that is almost more fun than the meeting.

In light of the new DML 234's coming out, I've got an old Italeri 234/4.
Not exactly a dog of a kit, buildable, but nowhere near as nice as the DML kit will be.

Hey was'nt the only battleship they had the Royal sovereign on loan to them from the R.N..Not quite sure where they would use her except the Baltic. But she definitely did'nt look like the Missouri.
