MickE Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hi all I have found the following kits for sale but only from China and only from ebay. TAKOM 2128 1/35 Scale Russian Navy CADS-N-1 Kashtan CIWS TAKOM 2136 1:35 SCALE SA-N-7&SA-N-12 Has anyone ever bought one? I am wondering if they are even out yet as the delivery date ranges between the 25th of May and the 20th of July Regards Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Modellbau Koenig in Germany have got the Kashtan in stock and the SA-N-7/12 available for pre-order, expected next month. Both under €30. They are very reliable. Don't know if they've registered for UK VAT so there might be +20% on those prices. They've also got the 130mm twin gun turret in stock. Reviews are thin on the ground. A couple of in-box looks and some YouTube videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickE Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Thanks Magman2. I am surprised that it has been out that long but nobody in the uk sells it. Where did you get it from? Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalemates is not a bad place to start for who might have stock of a particular kit, as well as being a good place to find reviews and associated products. I've used MBK many times - although not since we left the EU - and found them to be entirely reliable. Der Sockelshop are always worth a look too and are equally reliable.

MickE Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 It's funny - I went online to look at scalemates and now I am finding that some UK model shops have the CADS-N-1 Kashtan CIWS for sale either in or out of stock. I never found them before. The SA-N-7 kit is still only available from China, it seems. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickE Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Found out from a mate who owns the local model shop that he has some on order so he will put an SA-N-7/SA-N-12 and CADS N1 Kashtan CIWS aside for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick4350 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Bought this kit today at my local hobby store and have question about the actual paint colour of this device. Is it Baltic Grey or Northern Grey ?. ( Whilst watching 8 out of 9 cats, do countdown ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sea an Baltic Fleet ships are light grey and Northern and Pacific fleets are dark grey. On the Sea Dart launcher the Red missile is the dummy display unit, the live missile is white.

MickE Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hi The colour quoted for the Meng BukM1 (same missile) is light grass green - MC235 in their own paint range or N78 in a range called Acryson. In Panda's BukM2 the missiles have smaller fins and the colour is Mr color c312. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
