upnorth Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Interesting. From some of the parts breakdown it looks like the Streem kit might have served as a basis. I'd be particularly interested in seeing the main fuselage parts and main gear well parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul A H Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Excellent news, I've been hoping they'd scale down their 1:48 kit for ages. I'm a happy boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm building the Streem kit at the moment and looking at these images it doesn't seem to be based on that to be honest. I hope they haven't just down scaled their 1/48th kit with all its shape issues. The forward fuselage looks to lack the subtle curves of the Streem and the surface detail no where near as detailed. Whilst wildly over complex the Streem kit is beautifully realised, the only error being the gap between the exhausts being a tad too wide, (much like Trumpys 1/48th offering). Looking at these images it seems a bit odd that whilst separate flaps are included the leading edge slats aren't....so it'll look a bit strange unless you intend to cut them out. The wing pivot fairings seem very pronounced too. I'm not bashing this kit at all as these are only initial images and until I get the plastic in my grubby mitts won't be able to tell for sure how accurate it is. It's great to see another 1/72nd model of this important aircraft released it's just that building Streems little beauty has spoiled me a bit and it's hard not to make initial comparisons....it'll certainly be an improvement on the old Dragon/Zvezda/Revell effort and of course more importantly this one should be more easily available than the hens teeth Streem ! I've got a lovely set of Authentic Decals MR markings ready for it in the stash... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a lovely set of Authentic Decals MR markings ready for it in the stash... It might not be to the same level of details as the now defunct Stream kit but its certainly a lot better looking than the Dragon kit. I have a feeling the wings and flaps are slot connected giving you the option to do them open or closed, dropped or raised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I hope so Geoff, there does appear to be a hint of that on one of the runner shots, seems that the MiG-29's the same. It would make more sense to have the option, (as with their TU-160 and TU-22's) as they were quite often parked up with the wings swept but if the flaps were down so were the slats. Looking closely at the images I'm still more than happy that you sold me the Streem ! Be interesting to see what weapons if any they offer....

Robert Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 General, no WIP for the Streem kit. It would be interesting for those who do not have the kit. Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hi Robert, not this time, I didn't take any wip photos at the beginning of the build last summer but I guess I could do one from the current stage.. Trouble is every time I start one it gets interrupted with something that has a deadline attached ! I'll see what can be done...
