October Sky

[MarkB.]

October 4, 1957

55 years ago today, Sputnik was launched.

But for the ensuing Space Race, would this forum and our hobby even exist?

As a celebration, I thought we should post pictures of our Russian Rockets. Sputnik, Soyuz, Vostok, Sam-3, whatever. I'll post mine when I get home from work.

The only Soviet Russian rocket I ever had was the "Wolverine" and then only so my Star Blazer could blow it out of the sky. :D

Here's Mine

[AcroRay]

I don't have any Russian rockets in my collection, currently. But I hope to add a few in the future. I really love the elaborate lower stages, and the brute power Russian rocket designs exude...

OK, here's mine.

Threw a Scud in the middle.

Those are just awesome, Gordy!

And...when are you going to kit some more? :D

Oops,

Here's mine:

Vostok and Soyuz in nominal 1/64th scale from Semroc parts and Alway plans.

I have a Sputnik on the build table including the excellent nose cone Sandman made for me.

A SAM-3 and Wolverine are waiting for paint (and have been for over a year).

Plus now, I may have a go at a Proton.

No, no adult ADD here . . . .
