Homebee Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Thanks kotey IMO, nothing really exciting on the aircraft side, and specifically for the quater scalers. V.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotey Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Still one questions from all untill Nuremberg-2018 - what wiil be the secret model 1\48???? I'm know this, but its a secret... Edited December 31, 2017 by kotey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 As a 1/72 AFV modeller I was expecting the proverbial 'nothing-burger' ('nothing-borscht'?) here, but a new Pz.IV Ausf H is welcome, as is the T-35, especially if it is a bit more detailed than the impressive but basic offering from S-Model.....I'm pretty confident that their 1/72 Armata will be popular too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Bunker Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'm looking forward to the Su-27UB, and I see there is a MiG-15 as well, both in 1/72 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12by12 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The MiG-15 catalog pic shows the Dragon box art. Convenient placeholder pic or same old kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Still no MiG-29 9.12 / 9.51? Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not bad, but for some reason, while the Zvezda 9.13 and 9.19 are roughly at the same price point as the corresponding Trumpeter kits at around €20, the Trumpy UB is a whopping €30.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Surely you mean F-35s.....Apparently they are vastly better at providing close air support than the puny (& nowhere near as profitable for the shareholders) A-10 Warthog! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they said something similar about the Phantom replacing the Skyraider for CAS. That also didn't go well and the Double Ugly was a much more capable machine in it's day.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Andre Not only that but they jacked up the price quite considerably after the first couple of released. I think the 9.12 came out at £17.99 or so (often a bit cheaper) and then jumped to around £22.99. Not sure who as the marketing genius at Trumpeter or Trumpeter's distributor who decided that just as the competition came out with a (in many ways) superior kit.

And it's a simple matter of market - as long as we modelers keep buying the Trumpeter kits for the current price level, they will remain firmly there.

Cheers, Andre They are frequently not in stock here in the UK, unlike Zvezda's. The 9.17 was in stock for a couple of weeks and then practically disappeared and has only appeared sporadically. They're not easy to find which makes the price hike all the more surprising. Anyway, I'm hoping for a Zvezda 9.12 soon so I can get my full Fulcrum fix anytime (having said that I do have some issues with the Zvezda Fulcrums, they are far from perfect, and Trumpeters' are a more pleasant build overall despite their accuracy issues).

vppelt68 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I´d happily shop for a trio of their Ju 88 A:s in 1:72 but they seem to have vanished from Earth. Their website shows both the A-4 and A-5/A-17 kit with remark "OTCYTCTBYET", though in cyrillics but it looks a lot like how I wrote it. Could someone of our Russian speakers please translate what that means? Thanks in advance, V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojtek2 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 "OTCYTCTBYET" (pronounce: ~ otsootstvooyet) - absent :). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-5/A-17 kit is absent for long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Spasiba! That´s not good news about the kits, though. Fortunately they still have them in the catalogue so I´m waiting for a new production batch... Best regards, V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
