Homebee Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Zvezda 1/35th surprise release in 2020. All bets are off. Source: https://www.facebook.com/Zvezda.ModelKits/posts/2665811490188305 Mi-24 "Hind" ???? or most probably (sigh) as the "Hind" are just in the image background another bin on wheels or tracks (re-sigh)? ZSU-23-4 Shilka ? Quote Hello and good evening! Today we have a riddle for you! Soon we will release one kit, which was not in our catalog. Can you guess what this model is? V.P.

Dudikoff Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Looks like ZSU-23-4, but I wonder if it's a new tool or a rebox. Seeing the upside-down flag of Hungary, I did hope for an SA-6 for a moment as the one from Trumpeter has some issues like the lack of the wheel position offset and the missiles being too thin (based on training rounds).

spruecutter96 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I think they're bringing out a 1/35th scale Mountain. Rumour has it that it will be a (very reasonable) £4,000 when released. I may have to remove a section of my house's roof to accommodate it. It's a very good job that it never, ever rains in the UK. Chris.

spruecutter96 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It's a very long time since I've heard that Shamen track - one of my favourite dance songs ever, A shame to remember that one of the band members drowned whilst they were filming the video.

AlCZ Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I don´t understand of this choice. DML Shilka is kit from cold war era, and today is on market Panda and Meng.... Zvezda make nevest russian AFV kits for good money, and now released this vintage kit ? Strange :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Sorry, Although I personally hate the phrase, I'm going to quote it here (before anyone else does)........"Because the Panda and Meng kits of the ZSU-23-4 Shilka do not make any money for Zvedza". Personally, I will look forward to this one and see how it compares with the Meng kit that I recently acquired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caughtinthemiddle Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Besides, Panda doesn't have a Shilka in their range. The Meng kit had a competitor (or, as some said, a supplement, as I recall reading that to make an accurate Shilka one should mix Hong and Meng kits) from a brand called Hong Model, for which was the first and the last release and it doesn't seem widely available now. Furthermore, both Meng and Hong kits had/have a 50-60 euro price tag, whilst Zvezda's rebox of Dragon kit will probably cost circa half of this, which for many people will be decisive factor... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCZ Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 But Zvezda make new kits in good quality and have good price policy... So is strange, they re-box of vintage DML and don´t make a new tool Shilka. Meng is relative expensive, and new tool Shilka from Zvezda i probably bought, but outdated DML kit isn´t my choice... But maybe isn´t Shilka a popular subject for new tool kit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Partly I guess because Zvezda are primarily looking at cheap kits of Russian subjects for the Russian market. Partly because DML and Zvezda have a past relationship history with re-boxing, with each other and with Italeri. Partly because Hong and Meng probably wouldn't do business with Zvezda - although additional sales are additional sales, and if someone else is doing the marketing......... I must admit I had hoped this would be an all-new kit as Zvezda's recent stuff has been OK and reasonably priced, and they've started introducing link and length tracks. Those Dragon moulds go back to 1991, although new parts have been added for different versions, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotey Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Zvezda bought not sprues, but moulds in case of T-72, T-80, BTR-70 and BTR-80, some aircrafts and ships, now Shilka and BRDM-2. Untill now its Zvezda property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
