ALLRIGHT now we're talking!!!!!

Any want a gently used Mach Too kit??

 

No!!!

 

This is great news. Aren't SOVA-M "related" in some way to Amodel? Hopefully Amodel will continue to expand their bizjet range.

If you can cope with 1/144 size, Stransky Kits offer a few Learjet 35 models including the JASDF scheme above plus a few civvy versions too. It's a sweet little kit, just have a magnifier handy!

AModel already have a 1/72 C-21A USAF Learjet. 

Is this the same kit but with some extra parts and new decals?

Most likely. That’s usually the drill with Sova-M

I don't remember a AModel 1/72nd C-21 kit.

Just Learjets 55/55C (link) and 60XR (link) kits.

FYI, Amodel and Sova-M are the same company.

 

I wonder why these model companies release the same kits under different company names? Same goes for Trumpeter and Gallery Models (and a couple of others I believe)

I was not sure of the relationship of the U-36A with the Learjet family, so some Google-foo informed me that it is a dressed up Learjet 35/6 or C-21A.

 

Very happy to see this, and I expect Amodel will be releasing a few other versions. Hopefully a Finnish Air Force version is in the mix

"Little" is an understatement.

Got one of these kits on the shelf, size-wise it looks like it could have fallen out of a cereal packet.....

I confess that I am tempted by this - or these - learjet models, as it is such an iconic name in civil aviation.

 

I am amused though by the flash on the bottom left of the box - " only 450 pieces"!

It's Ukrainian English for: "we're only making 450 copies of this, so get it while you can."  I can assure you the parts count is much smaller!!!🙂

 

Crikey!! Confusing or what???

 

Thanks for the clarification, I'll have a look at Hannants!

Hello everyone. I will admit I really don’t know a whole lot about  the SOVA-M brand. For those in the know what is the quality of these kits like and would it be recommended to pick one up because I’m very interested in the USAF C-21A. Thanks in advance.
