The 3rd Placer Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hey guys and gals, I think Zvezda should get into the replacement engine market. Think of how many (older) kits could benefit from a correctly designed and sculpted engines with a proper part break down like they are so good at. My thought process was similar to the AFV market when those manufactures produce replacement tracks that will fit other kits. Who's with me?

Skodadriver Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Fair enough but only AFTER they've given us a decent Boeing 757 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cameraman Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hi Ryan, if they'd make the Pratt n Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior, as used in the Beaver, Goose, Staggerwing etc, in 1/72 scale, I'd order loads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 You know about these guys? http://www.neomega-resin.com/vector-resin-16-c.asp Many of them come in several scales, though sadly not the R-985, which is only 1/48... bestest, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Matt, yeah I tried 'em but, as you say, only in 1/48th scale, where I need 1/72nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbofan Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hi Ryan, Yes this would be a good idea but they could start by including flight crew for their 'ultimate' kits. It doesn't make sense to me that they include a full, detailed flightdeck and the option to model the aircraft in flight or landing and there's nobody at the controls! Also some cabin crew and passengers wouldn't go amiss either to stand by the open door option. Yes I know there are Preiser figures available but they're hard to find and not exactly cheap. Most of the other figures out there require a bit of modification to fit on the flightdeck. Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't engine and things make one? 72021: Edited February 13, 2016 by andym 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
