Well they certainly know how to make excellent large kits.  So now I'm anxious to see if this is going to be in 1/48 ❤❤.  I have built a couple of their newer kits and am impressed with their quality.

  • ABeck changed the title to 1/48 -Mil Mi-8MT/Mi-17 Hip H by Zvezda announced

At last! I was given an ancient Mi-8 kit by a Russian sea captain 50 years ago. White plastic, light green transparencies and pink rotor blades.

It was basic and around 1/40 scale. Sadly long gone. Now a replacement beckons.

Hopefully not only a Mi-8MT/Mi-17 but also a “classic” Mi-8T. Hey, and what about rivets this time?

 

As I see, this is an early MT.
Watch the engines and the tail rotor. Its a 17. However its shown with short side tanks with 3 straps, like most of Mi-8Ts had.

great to see this one!

 

I did not buy the Su-25 kit as of now....  and most likely will also not rush for this one.... let's see anyways first how availability will be in Europe!

 

markings? who operated early MTs? (or who did not ;) )

 Based on Yak-9D, it will be available on every street corner.

Zvezda kits are still easy enough to get in Europe. Bought their latest Yak-9D, Il-2 and Su-25 this summer via Bulgaria (Hobbylandbg.com) and as of today they still have the latest Zvezda kits in stock.

 

Cheers

Markus

Plenty of Zvezda kits, including the new Su 25 and Yak 9 are widely available on Amazon.

Oh... Does it mean nobody buying them?? New Hip in 48 is welcome and we will have a choice between Trumpeter and Zvezda.

I would probably suspect that Zvezda sales in Europe might even be up this year and if they continue with these great releases rightly so!
