In discussion below there is something about plans: Что знаю и уже отрисовано. Разветчик. Торпедоносец. Р5ш. Зимний. Поплавковый. Р5 ССС в планах. ПР-5 под вопросом но скорее всего будет. А варианты декалей чесно говоря не в курсе но владелец любит цветастые необычные раскраски так что может со временем и такой вариант будет It could be translated (my translation) Now is recce, torpedo, R5Sh, winter (comment: on skis? - JWM), on floats . In plans is R5 SSS . PR-5 is doubtful but most likely it will be done (comment: so I will keep off with scratch work - JWM). And about the decal schemes he does not know, but the owner loves colorful schemes... Regards J-W 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I'm sorry to sound like the proverbial broken record (unless I've broken a record of a different kind for asking about this kit again and again), but is the release of the 1/72 version happening soon, I hope? I'd probably buy the 1/144 one, too, but I haven't noticed anyone selling it. Thanks in advance! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Nice. I reckon these are a good looking aircraft, one of these might replace the vac form one I moved on some years back. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I thought of posting that "Shut up and take my money" image from the TV show Futurama, but it's a bit overdone, and might also be considered rude. But shut up and take my money anyway!!! John 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply love this kit. I agree completely - it's an excellent kit, although it may be a complex build from what I see on the instruction sheet. Once again, the little guys are showing the way, quality- and detailwise. I know, I know - apples and oranges - they're selling to the airplane-nut market, not the 10-year-old walk-in hobby shop customer, if there is such a thing nowadays. I really hope AMG continues on the VVS path. A Yak-9/VK-105 series, or a series of accurate I-16s, perhaps? Sorry - I got all wishlisty there...

John Thompson Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 A surprise in the latest Modelimex newsletter - 1/72 R-5 accessories from Clear Prop (I assume intended for the AMG kit), and yet no mention of them on the CP web site, yet: R-5 exhausts: https://www.modelimex.com/172-polikarpov-r-5-exhausts-set-clpa72035 R-5 exterior: https://www.modelimex.com/172-polikarpov-r-5-exterior-set-clpa72034 Unfortunately the images are not very helpful; I expect better ones will appear eventually on Clear Prop's site. I fired off an order immediately, but I don't expect to have them in hand for at least 2 - 3 weeks. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Thanks for that, Piotr! They look good, although I hoped for more from the exterior set. The airspeed venturi, item R-2, is very welcome - the two extra ones will be useful on other projects! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Mikolajski Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 At least these sets seems to be cheap, at least in Poland - exterior for 4 GBP, exhaust for 3 GBP. Unfortunately, both will be available... in November. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious what boxes actually AMG planning? Anybody know it?

FWIW, I got mine here, but other ebay sellers are possible: https://www.ebay.ca/str/eugenelemeshko?_bkw=R-5 I had good service from this seller; I have no reluctance to recommend him. I'm thinking about buying another one, but he's only got one left, plus one Iranian and two Turkish. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Nothing showing on Clear Prop's "catalog" page, either. I asked them a few days ago about the status of their future 1/72 Su-25 and LaGG-3 series 66 kits, but so far, no reply. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
