Homebee Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Pre-ordable at Lucky Model. For the moment this kit is just quoted as "available" (means "We don't have it, but may get it, perhaps, possibly in a while") so not yet "in stock". Just a matter of time I suppose. Price P&P incl. +/- £ 24.00 Source: http://www.luckymode...em_no=XT-B48003 V.P. Edited October 18, 2012 by Homebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 That looks nice. Would look good next to Tamiya's Shturmovik. It's great to see some new VVS models coming out. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Now "in stock" at Lucky Model for £ 23.70 - P&P incl.http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=XT-B48003 V.P. Even with shipping, the site shows it for under $40USD. Not bad at all. The pictures of the moulding look good also. No telling what the fit is like, but it looks like it might be worth picking up for a VVS aficionado such as myself. Thank you for posting the link, V.P.!

Learstang Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Nice - so they now have the GPW version(s) out. I see they have two variants - one the Tu-2S and one the Tu-2VS. The Tu-2S was the standard GPW version. Apparently the "VS" variant was the earlier GPW version. Regards, Jason P.S. I remembered you were building one, V.P.; any more progress on that?

kpc7676 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Nice addition to the family in the V models. Anyone have any idea if these can make WWII era aircraft at all? Just checked the net, and there is no mention made of the Tu-2V or VS models, but I am assuming they are linked to the assignment to the V and VS regiments of the Soviet Forces?
