Homebee Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Source: http://www.master194.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=99521&start=75 The usually well informed AlexGRD posted a message about the Ark Model Yak-130 in Master194 forum. Following Ark Models lack of cash flow to go further with the project, Zvezda has broken its partnership with Ark Models. The complete Yak-130 project was therefore sold by Ark Models to the Chinese Wasan Plastic Model Company co (HB/Trumpy). The new owner should edit it in 1/72nd as a HobbyBoss easy kit and in 1/48th under Trumpeter label - in late 2018? Having just edited a (sucessful ?) 1/72nd Yak-130 kit (link) Zvezda is now reported working hard on a 1/48th variant. The same rumour also indicates that this kit should be released in late 2017 or most probably early 2018. It might be the "surprise kit" (link) announced in September by Zvezda at the toy tradefair Mir Detstva 2017. See herebelow. Conclusion: we might expect two 1/48th kits from the Yak-130 "Mitten", first by Zvezda and later another one by Trumpeter. To be followed. In the meantime Kitty Hawk has announced a 1/48th Yak-130 kit link V.P. Edited November 12, 2017 by Homebee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kotey Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 BTW - i didn't say that Zvezda never will release 1\48 Yak-130 (never say never), but "surprise 1\48 model", as i know will be other subject. What it will be - a little patience untill Zvezda's catalogue release or untill Nuremberg exhibition. Anyway after finish two current big project - Su-34 and P-63 Kingcobra i'm goint to work about comprehensive (all possible operators, as usual for us) Yak-130 decal, which definetly will release in 1\72 and 1\48 scales. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) From a usually reliable source it is reported Trumpeter/HobbyBoss has well received all the elements from Ark Models and is working on the project... So after KittyHawk (release in July or later - link) and Zvezda (release this Autumn - link) we can expect a third 1/48th kit from the Yak-130 "Mitten". V.P.
