Stransky plans to release civil variants - P = passenger, S = salon. Both have square windows while HB released military variant with smaller round windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Sprues Source: https://www.facebook.com/stransky.kits/posts/2045299172285890 Quote Preparation for the new model Mi-4 P / S (Civil / VIP transport) in 1:72 scale. The kit is a modified KP / Smer model, a very nicely designed model with fine engraving. The frame with further fuselage is adapted for P / S versions and has rectangular windows, characteristic for these versions. V.P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Looks nice! Better than Hobby Boss? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Mikolajski Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Different. Hobby Boss is transport version, this one is passenger one. @Mike Esposito, if you want to compare all Mi-4 kits in 1/72, here are reviews: AER Moldova - https://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=18416 KP - https://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=18417 Hobby Boss - http://www.mmscalemodels.com/2015/12/hobby-boss-mil-mi-4-inbox-review.html KP released their kit in 1994 and it was very good at this time, much better than AER Moldova kit, released at the same time. But just as KP was much better than AER, Hobby Boss is much better than KP. I don't really know what Stransky is doing with this mould - is it some sort of temporary redesign or will they permanently change the KP mould and model from a transport version to a passenger version. Considering the significant quality advantage of the Hobby Boss it could be a pretty good idea, especially if they give the passenger / VIP version interior.
