Hook Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hopefully it'll be a new tool and not a reboxed Italeri! Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 No clues as to what version? Off topic (and my Cyrillic is non existent) but do I also spot a Sherman in 1/35 on that list and a Tu-85 in 1/72? Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me also S-400 missile system (Rus. C-400) in 1/72 is interesting, I hope for Turkish decals. Ship in 1/350 seems to be Delta IV-class submarines (Project 667BDRM Delfin). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USAJustin Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 A newly tooled 1/72 Herc is much needed! Looking forward to this!🤩 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lancaster Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Looking forward to seeing what version of the Hercules this will be, hopefully there'll be an RAF vairant in the works at some point! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 7 hours ago, Scooby said: Sure hope it is an E or H and not a J. I agree. But... in the case of subjects in category "still operational" such as the Su-27 and MiG-29, Zvezda seem to have chosen to release the most recent variants first. I hope not. Zvezda, if you're reading this: C-130E first, pretty please. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hoping for a lot of things from Zvezda's Herky,especially the fuselage extension for the C-130H-30 and the correct fuselage shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Are there any CAD renderings floating about ? Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 C-130 E/H/K first please,......... the J can follow later! Looking forward to building an RAF Herk,...... be even better if there are optional parts for a stretched C.3 variant. Crikey the schemes for this kit will be ENDLESS!!!!! Cheers Zvezda! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoshea52 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 If Zvezda really are to produce a modern standard 1/72 Hercules then I am sure they will shift truckloads - a late 70’s early 80’s RAF version would top my list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Someone produce some Boland Air Cargo decals please 🦆 (you’ll either get that or you won’t ) or International Air Response 🦇 TT 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely their obvious option is to go for an H-model, thus covering a wealth of markings opportunities as well as a plethora of variant possibilities? I understand the allegiance to the K-model but it wouldn't make commercial sense, given the limited potential it would present. Don't get me wrong, I am a Herc lover, but I think for the greater good the more popular machine has to take priority. Martin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britman Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 If this turns out to be the benchmark for C130's in 72nd scale(we all hope) maybe a scaling down to 144th would not be out of the question? I can display more in the smaller scale than the larger and consequently would buy more than one . Given the huge variants and colour schemes I could make several without too much effort.

king of men Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Wouldn't mind a stretched RAF variant. There's no easy way to get there with existing 1:72 kits without major surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
