Muzz Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Interesting, currently building the Zvezda one which is a pretty decent kit but some of the raised surface detail is a bit hit or miss. Wonder how Trumpeter will deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 A bit late maybe? Hard to beat Zvezda apart potentially in availability and political terms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudikoff Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I guess it's better late than never. Always nice to have an alternative, especially in the current situation (I know which one I'm NOT buying). Presumably it will be a downscale of their 1/32 kit (which I have somewhere). I remember it was panned for some dimensional accuracy issues? Since it's boxed as Trumpeter, presumably it might be more detailed? Sometimes I get the impression that HB kits are more simplified part number wise, but perhaps there's no logic there.

John Thompson Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Surely there's room for more than one (actually two - there's also the OEZ reissued by AZ or KP) Su-25 in 1/48 scale? If you guys don't want it, tell Trumpeter to do it in 1/72 instead. There's already about half a dozen of them, but another one is welcome, especially if it's accurate, unlike most of the existing crop. And don't force me to say, "A 1/48 Su-25 from Zvezda makes no money for Trumpeter"... John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullofit Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Could it be the one Kitty Hawk was working on before going under? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is actually a very good chance they bought a considerable amount of the work that had been done on this. I wish them the best of luck in producing a great kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
