dragonlanceHR Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Most probably the Accurate Miniatures kit, like their Yak-1b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phas3e Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Makes sense, that will make them the 5th company to rebox it while tamiya has their tooling just sitting there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phas3e Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Glad to see a new tool from them, I notice the size has it at 30.5cm, is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCZ Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I too hope for Zvezda new tool and not another re-box of AM.... Tamiya is very nice, but little expensive and it is a late war production Il2m3. Early types from Zvezda and -50% price tag will be nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the final verdict on canopies? Both AM and Tamiya are incorrect? Cheers, Vedran Edited December 7, 2019 by dragonlanceHR Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always "happy" to learn more about a kits faults, but details are important, as are the degree of problem, and how hard it is to fix. I know Vector do a new spinner and prop for the AM kit. Exhausts and UC struts sound fixable. the canopy fault is new to me. Please explain, preferably with photos. FWIW AM kit Tamiya real thing all 3 are the "arrow" wing later Il-2's more Il-2 pics here http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/il-2/il2-camo/il-2m3/il2m3-camo.htm I'm going to put an @Learstang as well as perhaps jason can add to the discussion, and I've not seen him post in the new Il-2 thread...yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABeck Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 canopies neither undersized nor oversized- sorry, this was not a fact based critic on the existing kits - please, understand this as kind of a moral imperative. The (minor?) differences were once mentioned in Brett`s compare review: www.hyperscale.com/2012/features/il2amtamiyacomparison48bg_1.htm I hope we will get competent information from Sergej, Andrey or other specialists.

areva Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Wow, that comparison is telling. By looking at the three photos, AM, Tamiya, real thing, wouldn't any of us be splitting hairs at any of the two kit's faults. areva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Having looked at the link http://www.hyperscale.com/2012/features/il2amtamiyacomparison48bg_1.htm this compares the AM with the Tamiya, the glitches in the AM kit accuracy wise are minor, and the two main ones, prop/spinner and cowl air intake, are not clear (prop) or visible (intake) in the pics above. I thin both catch the main shapes well, and so both look fine compared to the real thing. Now @ABeck has posted the link, his comments are clearer. Be interesting to see what Zvezda do, and which variant(s) I await @Learstang on this, even though 48th is not his thing, Il-2's are 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonlanceHR Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) I asked because I was aware of AM shortcomings and have the required fixes, and I know about the windshield debate but failed to find which one is correct or if both are correct. I hoped that ABeck had some new info. Oh well... Cheers, Vedran Edited December 9, 2019 by dragonlanceHR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Well, that looks promising - one thing neither the AM kit nor the Tamiya kit had, an engine. Regarding the AM and Tamiya canopies, I don't see anything glaringly wrong with them. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any mention of versions yet. I'm hoping we get a few, it was nice to see Tamiya do an Il-2 but disappointing to see only one version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Although I'm not really into 1/48th scale, I'm always happy to see more Il-2s, so yes, it would have been nice for Tamiya to make the straight-winged two-seater, and the single-seater. I'd also love to see them do an Il-2 in 1/32nd scale. As for Zvezda, let's hope they do all three main versions. Regards, Jason 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
