О планах на начало следующего года. Ведётся разработка модели лёгкого штурмовика Як-130 в масштабе 1:48. Прежде чем проект будет отправлен на завод для изготовления пресс-форм, он будет проверен наиболее авторитетными представителями модельной общественности на предмет ошибок или неточностей. Пробные отливки мы планируем показать уже в декабре. Промышленный выпуск этого набора запланирован на февраль 2016 года.

I think the two designs (Yak-130 Mitten & Alenia M346 Maestro) have diverged too much to be able to make one from the other.

of course they are different to justify seperate kits!

but, airframe shapewise it is only details, not general difference i think!

(landing gear, airbrake, aux intakes, pylons, cockpit of course, etc.are totally different!)

looks quite good as far as I can see so far!

What I see doesn't look like a plastic kit build but more like rapid-prototype build. I'm not sure the actual kit is going to be released soon.

I guess the actual kit will be based on the same CAD data, maybe with refinement and some changes still possible!
