That WOULD definitely score 15 on the cool- ometer scale of 1 to 10!😀😀. I was thinking along the lines of an export variant in Swedish markings painted in something like that crazy splinter camouflage used in the 80s!

Pin Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 But why?.... Eastern Express offering is more than decent, unless AA kit is head and shoulders above (i.e. on the level of Zvezda Ultimate) then I don't see much market for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nice if it could be a little cheaper than the EE kit too, looking at NZ$130.00+/- for the EE one & that is out of my budget, I sure would like one though. Some information please, what is the difference between early & late versions, I see both in EE boxings.? Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be found a little cheaper than that on a certain auction site - I just got one from a seller in Russia for A$91 including shipping (can't imagine shipping from Russia to NZ would be all that more than to NZ) which I think translates to NZ$99. Also bought decals for the scheme on the A+A box from Bsmodelle, which look quite nice. Really looking forward to building it. 11 hours ago, Pin said: I don't see much market for it Neither do I! I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to have the EE plastic in the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thats cheaper than I've seen before, I'll look into it & rake some shekels together. I love the look of these big brutes. Thanks for the heads up.

Radleigh Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I asked A&A Models if it's the EE kit reboxed, this was their reply. A&A ModelsNot a "rebox", but enhanced kit - we improved the molds, added new spruces (details) and decals (new Antonov Airlines livery -as on the picture) Link - https://www.facebook.com/1048501705294464/photos/pcb.1452321358245828/1452320604912570/?type=3&theater 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeback52 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Nearly 70 Euros (£63) including tax and then postage on top? A bit too hefty for me I'm afraid. Will have to downgrade from "Must have" to "Would be nice"😭 Allan ps - I just found one of the E E kits on evilbay for £38.99 + postage £13.99. Ordered!!

Don't know about postage to NZ though https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eastern-Express-14479-Soviet-Heavy-Transport-aircraft-Antonov-An-22-Early-1-144/113183837913?epid=6020757887&hash=item1a5a484ed9:g:fAIAAOSwcqZbZfcE AllanEastern Edited August 25, 2018 by Albeback52 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Thanks Allan, same post anywhere international by the look, so all up just over NZ$100.00, pity I can't afford it for a few of weeks, will need to look again then, The A&A ones on Modelvit website are about NZ$90.00 plus post, whatever that would be. I might just have to raise my sights a bit. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
