    I think agree here as I want both and giving shipping costs it would be nice to order both at the same time. I am really excited about this release! Here is a very low pass of the Ka-52. Ever since I saw this I have been looking for a kit to come out.

    This is fascinating, I would love to see what they look like printed out. These should b Be easy to scale up or down.

    I am excited about this kit. My sister lives by and air base in Tucson and I think a nice AZ ANG scheme would look wonderful on her mantle.

    This is looking fantastic! And I love the crew members which I have to assume are going to be included with the kit.

    I actually think this is a good way to go. I have been following them and it is interesting the approach they are taking.

    I have recently completed several Airfix kits made in India with no issues. Excellent kits and no issues with the plastic.

    I have a keen interest in early Sikorsky subjects. Sikorsky himself is in my book one of the top aviation designers of all time and his life story is fascinating. I would love to pick this up in 1/48 scale and build it.

    The issue is that standard paper sizes vary from country to country or region. Here we have 8 1/2 by 11 inches but I have to assume in Britain standard sized are different. So with regrets I assume this will be the British version of the paper airplane. Would love you see a US version as a nostalgia build. But like so many kit intentions, come tomorrow this entire project may be binned.

    This is a fantastic offering. What I would like to do is buy the file and print myself instead of paying for shipping. They could ship the decals but that is relatively inexpensive. Anyway, probably not possible but maybe someday.

    You are a braver man than I. An incredible project you have undertaken.

    The nice thing I like about Zvezda stencil decals is they are actual words, not just a color strip. I can not read Russian so I have no idea what they actually say but at least they look right.

    Thanks for posting pictures of the parts and a brief explanation of what we are looking at. This really does look like a great kit. I think the 1/2 detailed engine would allow you to open a panel to show it off but still proved for its support. Would be nice to have the full engine. But my understanding is the RD-10 is a copy of the Jumo 004 used by Germany so that might work as an equivalent for display. Thanks again!

    Eduard cut their teeth on 1/48 WWI subjects and their newer 1/48 kits such as the Camel are fantastic. All they would need to do is scale them up and they would have real winners. And this seems to be the direction bi-planes have been going.

    I built the CA version and it was a mess. Only advantage would have been the resin cooling fins but sadly they were partly broke by the time I ended up with the kit. I would be very happy to bin my old CA one and replace it with this.

    This is sad, mostly because it obviously has been way to many years since I visited the museum, but there is a lot of water between us. Anyway, it still remains one of my favorites airplane museums I have ever visited.
