andym Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I'll reserve judgement until it is out but postulate that the coming AMK kit may be the better bet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICMF Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Not holding much hope for this one. They couldn't even spell 'Albatros' right. Or maybe that's their cunning way of combating their critics. I can guarantee that nobody will be able to find references for an "L-39 Albatro" to prove them wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given length and wing span ok, overlay to these ok (I don't know if the drawings are accurate though) and the omega canopy cross-section seems to be there. The Albatro may be pretty good Albatros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ya-gabor Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Now that the Albatro is out, will anyone make a decent Aero L-39 Albatros as well in the quarter scale? What will now be left for AMK? The competitors ruin all their plans: Tamiya F-14, ICM MiG-25 now the Trum Albatro. OK there is still space left for them with an Albatros. (on a stick) I am not surprised, spelingh is a problem for some of them out there. Best regards Gabor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that others doing the same thing is no problem, it creates competitiveness and that’s a good thing. We will always compete on accuracy, quality, value for money and easy to build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Release in 2025 if everything is going on. We are waiting the Tomcat, Foxbat, Gina, Albatros, URAL-4320 APA-5D etc. V.P.

Having learned from the Tomcat and other early notification mistakes, we at AMK will no longer be making release announcements until the kits are boxed in the factory. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMK are a fairly new company and learning the ropes, no doubt they have made an error or two along the way, but they are bringing us kits we want so bear with them eh! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIO Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Just got mine today. Having already built a couple of them, a few initial comments (though I will be more thorough later on): * The external detail is beautiful. The engraved details is crisp and the rivets are where they should be. * The size appears to be correct, at least when compared with the MPM example * The flaps will need modification if one decides to pose them in the totally extended position * The main landing gear compartment is good, but not as detailed or accurate as the CMK parts for MPM example. Well, I know this is not fair judgment! * The seats look good as well as the cockpit in general * Some extra parts are there for the ZA! That's great! * Wheels... Just throw them away... Overall, this is a much better kit than I expected! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
