Interview with a one-man modelling company
Coming back to scale models, we should take a look at an enterprise producing mostly Vietnam related kits. To make it more interesting, this small company, BRAVO-6 (a suggestive name, for sure) is the work of one man, Vladimir Demchenko of Russia, but his products are well-known among modelers all over the world. Now you can read an exclusive interview with him.
Please note: this interview was originally published here in Hungarian. As it may be interesting to foreign modelers, as well, it is hereby published in English, too.

How did it all start and what was your motivation to do Vietnam War model figures?
Although I got started as an aircraft modeler in the late 1980s, I was always interested in the Vietnam War. I can remember two main key points that turned my mind then: the first was the Oliver Stone movie, ‘Platoon’, the second was a Verlinden catalogue that I occasionally saw in our local modeling club. After that I had no doubts about my future!
In the mid-1990s I seriously began to work with dioramas and vignettes. Of course, I wanted to concentrate on my favourite theme, but as you remember, the range of Nam figures was so scant those days – I can remember just old-fashioned Verlinden figures and some Dragon kits. So I was haunted by my old dream about a wide and interesting range of Nam figures.
