Ryan Spirit Of St. Louis – Part One – Nyet, Tovarich…

Is not could be Spirit of Amerikan town. Is Spirit of Leningrad. First solos transatlantic airplane fly from Soviet home of revolutionary peoples but capitalistic newspapers disguise this. Soviet union always first in everything.

Well, not quite first with this model. We get mould from FROG in decadent England and hero workers of Soviet Union make plastic kit. All plastic in this kit has been approved by Central Committee. Inside of wing is stamped ” Made In USSR “. We wanted to stamp it on the outside but commissar say no.

But is good kit. Not too much flash on Soviet sprue trees and wing go on straight. Decal sheet adequate – until soaked in water.

One problem. Keep getting nasty note from Smithsonian Institute when we ask for original plane to be sent to us. They keep disputing the facts and putting out ridiculous story about some dissident named Lindberg. Believe me, if we had him in our hands he wouldn’t be so lucky.
