1/48 - McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II by UMa Model - released
Dudikoff replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
Looking forward to a review with the sprue shots. I do have a Hasegawa AV-8B in the stash, but this looks like a much nicer kit to build (plus, with no aftermarket needed), errors notwithstanding. -
Reskit has released adapter pylons for Storm Shadows on Su-24, both in 1:72 and 1:48 (and they have Storm Shadow missiles, as well).
-
Not an expert, but the kit photo shows a nozzle in a fully open state, while the photo shows a nozzle in closed state, so maybe not the best choice of the comparison photo. Though, if I'm correct that this shows an open P&W engine nozzle, it still looks weirdly off:

Edit: Wasn't aware that 21st FS operates Taiwanese owned F-16 planes, so hence why the brake chute. Interesting.

I think it's mostly shadows making them look out of whack on this particular photo. -
So glad I had skipped on the KH offering due to the poor cockpit details (there were no raised detail side panels, just plain PE parts) and seemingly oversized leading edge slats which made it look weird, IMHO. Airfix really did a good job on this one regarding the details provided. Thanks for the review.

1/48th - Jaguar GR.1/GR.1A by Airfix - Q1 2025
Dudikoff replied to At Sea's topic in The Rumourmonger
Awesome. Glad I held off on the KH kit or the old Airfix one. -
True, but it would be nice if they also offered a more realistic VA/VMA squadron decal option, rather then VF and USAF (including the F-117 one) options only.

Angled deck Midway would have made a cool 1:350 model as well, due to it's somewhat smaller size. Hope they make it at some point.

1/48 - Sikorsky UH-60/MH-60 Black Hawk by ICM - 2024
Dudikoff replied to IT_Man's topic in The Rumourmonger
I'd wait for the actual plastic parts since their AH-1G and OV-10 kits in 1:48 both do have positive rivets. -
Thanks for the preview. MBK is selling it for 188 EUR, while it's 109 USD on LM? That's quite a price bump in the EU.
-
It seems to be released? Wonder what comes extra with the 'Deluxe Edition'? https://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=FH-5001S

I meant, I have a non-VLS one so I could could justify getting a Flyhawk VLS one given a decent price.
-
That's a new tool, right? I gave up waiting for Trumpeter to do one so I bought a Revell repack of the DML kit. I guess that's technically a non-VLS one so I could justify getting this one (and probably never getting around to building it).
-
I would just note that there were two MiG-29Ks. There was the Soviet 9.31 which was developed alongside Su-33, it was a single-seater and it's what Trumpeter modelled in their MiG-29K 1/32 kit. The HB model is a Russian 9.41 which has a new canopy which was raised to provide better rear-view, but it uses the same two-seater canopy whether the variant is a single or double-seater. Personally, I dislike the looks of the newer one so just wanted to clear that out in case someone is looking for the earlier Soviet type.
