I found it on ebay for some 3 us dolars so I was wondering wather to buy it or not.I am done with crappy kits that don't even resemble the real thing.If the shape and the look of it is ok I would like to buy it and rework it into a nice model.The thing is I just can't find the A-model yak on the internet.

Interesting how the ASIC Reporting name 'Forger' has been translated into 'Blacksmith' :D

A Blacksmith is someone who works in a Forge - but a Forger is someone who creates countefeit money or documents.

Just saying....

hhaha Ken you are correct.But still do you know anything about this kit?I found the amodel one for 13 euros wich i think it is very expencive when you include the postage and still you get a crappy kit that needs much work to complete.

That is very hard to find also.now i see on ebay around 15 us dollars + 15 for shipping.it think i will pass this one :D

Aviation Megastore and Hobbyterra have the Amodel single-seater... and shipping costs an arm and a leg in both cases. You're doomed.

I know.I searched the modelimex and there the shipping is a small fortune and I will never pay that amount of money for a short run model kit.I am now searching for the revell one.

One thing to remember also if scale isn't important, Trumpeter/Hobbyboss is doing a trio of Forgers in 48th probably next year, a sprue shot popped up (not complete sprues - just one) earlier this summer.

I believe NKR Models once e-mailed me a response to my enquiry about the single seater A-model kit. The mold for the single seater has been broken/worn out (hence the limited run nature of their kits). Therefore, I don't forsee Amodel re-releasing this kit in the near future. Grab it now while you can. Alternatively, if you know someone who has the single-seater, ask him to make a copy of the forward fuselage & canopy while you buy the cheaper 2-seater ( & which is more easily available). Take the copied single-seater forward fuselage & plug into the 2-seater's fuselage. Amodel followed Hasegawa's tactics & made the 1-seater & 2-seater identical except for the forward fuselages which are interchangeable. (This also explains why the 2-seater fuselage is wrong in the kit. It should be longer like the real thing. Instead they just used the single seater's fuselage & put in the 2-seater's forward fuselage+canopy)

Hope that makes sense :D

I got one from Hobby Craft a 1/72, it's marked bort no. Yellow 16 from Kiev Aircraft Cruiser. It's my first kit of USSR/Rusia planes. At first, i make it in Vertical mode with lift jets opened, but since survived an accidental thrashing, i changed to normal deck position.

I almost had good news for you, we had one of them sitting in the sale bin at the shop I work at on weekends - but good thing I didn't get your hopes up because it's now gone (there were 2, snatched one for myself for $4, and the other was there for about 2 months). Good luck then...
