Shorty84 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Oh my, looks like a winner. I'm really happy that they decided to represent the raised rivets which are so typical for the Frogfoot. That makes things like a simplified cockpit more acceptable Looking at the parts breakdown, they have the possibility to tool other variants like the Su-25BM and Su-25SM in the future Cheers Markus Edited February 16, 2022 by Shorty84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 ...And if your new Frogfoot still isn't "ribbety" enough, here's a product that will help: Available in diameters from 0.25mm to 0.9mm.

Ka-Efka Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I'd be surprised if there are actually round head rivets used on the Su-25. But you never know. It's a flying tank after all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammy da fish Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 More like mushroom head rivets which are a flatter version, still stick up but not as much as domed rivets. if I could see the skin where they are I could tell easily. sammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Club Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I believe that ordering Russian kits (as Ukranian kits as well), will be difficult in these sad days. Although kits producers have nothing to do with this war, all orders from Ukraine are suspended (and I hope that mainstream Ukrainian manufacturers won't be destroyed with this war as it is already the case for many people, both sides). I don't know if it is still possible to order from Russia, but I am afraid that the orders could be trapped by customs in repraisal ! If only a cease fire could be adopted, it would be a good new for everybody ! I really crossed my fingers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestFan Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Putting aside the horrors going on at the moment I’ve been really looking forward to this kit. I imagine though that it is going to be difficult to obtain in Western Europe. In fact one wonders what will become of Zvezda if they cannot access this market….
