Geoff_B Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Looking at its position in the catalogue I would guess this is going to be one of their expensive, mostly GRP large kits rather than a standard injection moulded kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I would imagine so, their machine isn't big hence the break down in fuselage length on the Tu-22, Be-12 etc. The An-70 is a lot bigger in height so I'm expecting fibreglass like the IL-86.

Homebee Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) No An-70 kit from Modelsvit in 2016 and the project no more in the 2017 catalogue. Cancelled, delayed, that's the question. Source: https://www.facebook.com/notes/modelsvit/modelsvit-catalogue-2017/1866182310317478 V.P.

172flogger Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 An-70 is a project full of misfortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Modelsvit confirmed this to me via private message, a shame but at least it's not fully cancelled - " Dear Radleigh, please be advised that the An-70 project has been postponed in order to be released later on iaw the new quality standards of our brand " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Quote postponed in order to be released later on iaw the new quality standards of our brand " That can only be good news as their moulding quality has improved greatly recently, personally I'm quite happy to wait for a superior kit.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Callahan Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I definitely need one of these to glare menacingly at the A400M... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
