Looks like Modelsvit have all sorts of goodies coming, such as the Su-15 and the (Y)E-152. I'm still waiting on a Be-10 Mallow though (I may be waiting for a while, but if anybody does it, Modelsvit will).

Regards,

Jason

Basically the same aircraft. It was a one off of a proposed dedicated SAR aircraft without the MAD boom that proved too costly to produce. Most of the changes were to the interior with the removal of the weapons bay, a new floor fitted, specialised SAR equipment installed and a large door added to the left side of the fuselage.

I just noticed on their Facebook page the cover of their 2016 catalogue - along with an M-4 Stratosfera, there is a Tu-14 Bosun! No Mallow though; sorry Radleigh! Looks like we'll have to wait on that one - maybe next year.

Regards,

Jason
