Jabba Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 That's it guys, get set for my two Esci Blinders to Appear on my for sale bits. chris And my two plus the fuselage plug to make it the correct length. Really looking forward to this one, whichever version turns up. Hopefully they will do a version of the ones exported to Libya and Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Awesome. I have the vague memory of pictures of and reading something about a detailed 1/72 Tu-22 built from new test shots - I think that would have been about ten years ago thereabout? The company back then (could have been Strim/ Streem) was looking for funds to finish the molds to production standards - but apparently never did. Does it ring any bells? I wonder if those molds have found their way to Modelsvit. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A H Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I managed to resist the BE-12 but I'm surrendering to temptation this time. No chuffing way am I going to miss out on this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I managed to resist the Be-12 also (for now), but I must buy this one. Oh yes, I must! Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 I didn't/couldn't resist the Be-12.... how could I? This is meant to be a little bit higher (£) than the Be-12.. so I'm guessing £65? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 That's about 100USD. Not too bad, really. Time to start saving (and selling off old kits!). Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Well it's about time.I had heard rumours via the scale models.ru site and had a feeling they may do this, just as I finish modifying the ESCI kit within an inch of its life ! It's true Streem did intend to release a Blinder to the high standard of their Fencer but folded before they were able to get much further with it, so possibly Modelsvit picked up the baton, though equally it's as likely to be an all new kit. I do hope they do all versions...a KPD and U trainer would go down very nicely ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) So you're responsible for the new kit, General! Smashing job, old beast, taking one for the team, as it were, completing (and heavily-modifying) the old ESCI kit just so all of us mere mortals can now have a shiny, new, and accurate Blinder! Jolly good show! Regards! Jason! P.S. ! Edited June 1, 2015 by Learstang 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Rather pleased about this. Need at least one of each. Hope we get a s**t load of lovely whizz bangs to go with them!! Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yeeeeeesssssss!!! I so much hpoed that Trumpeter would do this when they released a russian bomber every month (well it felt like that to me). This is maybe even better. So I can stop prowling around the Revell rebox and the resin improvement parts I once bought. Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Doctor Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 + 1 for Modelsvit. Already got the Bartini and Be-12, better start saving. Think my son will be happy with my old Esci Blinder... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 NB: This is NOT Modelsvit OOB build but their test moulds were used, meaning that the model contains a lot of scratch built parts and modifications such as deflected control surfaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Well that just makes me want one even more, definitely my 'must have' of all the announced new releases......(well OK along with the AvantGarde Foxhound), I for one am very happy that Modelsvit are doing it and not Trumpeter.......it may not fall together but at least with MV I know it will be highly accurate !

Caerbannog Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Great news. I just knocked the old Esci one together over the weekend with/for my 5 year old son (without the resin correction parts I had for it). So there is a small gap in my stash for a new Blinder now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I gave my ESCI one away, so I'm going to have to wish upon a star for this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
