This is great news!

 

I was wondering how this would compare to the Trumpeter kit... It is a few years older and from Trumpeter's "beginners" era so, considering Zvezda's initial release, I'll expect this to be classes above. Or am I setting my expectations too high?

 

Thanks!

Soon, a little patience. Decal now in print, i hope Zvezda's official soon will show test sprues and decal preview.

 

No, "pease of coal" Dark Grey - its A-50U, Zvezda model - standard A-50, it has many visial differences.

Great, I need the original one and the Trumpeter's IL-76-based kits are rather overpriced for what they are like.

What other variants are they doing, just the IL-78 after this? Would love them to do a IL-76MD-90A.. and I think they may do with how the chin dome is seperate, and they've just done a Tu-204/214 so the engines are already drawn up.
