Clumber Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 In the Great Models newsletter they have a "new" 48th Frogfoot from Eduard - is this a real new tooling, or is it a rebox of the Monogram or KP one with a bunch of Eduard extras tossed in? In other words, do I need to go camp out at my favorite local store and buy ALL of them right off the truck, or should I drag out my kitbash Monogram/KP and bang my head against it some more?

Clumber Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 KP kit with eduard goodies THANK YOU! It was probably too much to hope for a new tool.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeC Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 From what I've seen it looks like a great decal sheet - whilst I already have a Kopro Frogfoot, I'm seriously tempted by this one for said decal sheet alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScottD Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I love the marking options they give you with it, but how is the basic kit itself? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeeJee Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I love the marking options they give you with it, but how is the basic kit itself? not that good. You really, really need that Eduard set and a lot of work by your self. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zark Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I thing we are talking about the KP model. Having built both the Monogram and the Kp kit, my personal opinion is that the Kp is the "better" one and a really good kit as well, and if you add the Eduard goodies even better Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not to worried about details since it seems like eduard has you covered there :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zark Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Overall I thing the Kp is the best kit for the 25 in the 48th scale. Good fit, adequate detail, not really any particular problems worth mentioning. (Please dont remind me the KP Su-22...day and night compared with the Su-25...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeC Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) I've built KP's Su-22 Fitter - hard work but enjoyable. If the Frogfoot is the same, let alone better, I'm looking forward to it. Only downside I do not have the Eduard decal sheet or the etched and other extras that this boxing includes. Check out the instructions from the Eduard site (needs pdf reader): http://www.eduard.cz/products/pdf/n11/1150.pdf Edited August 31, 2010 by MikeC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I've got this kit and while I can't comment on the fit I can certainly say that it seems good value for money with what is in the box. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Two Mikes Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 It is indeed the old KP/OEZ kit with a new pit and some PE. Got mine from Sprue Brothers for about 50 bucks and change. I am going to doing some upgrades for the kit and will announce them very soon. These won't just be intake and exhaust covers either. :wacko: Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zark Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 The Chech shark camo must be a nightmare to reproduce. I have seen pictures of the actual aircraft and I have to admit I dont have the "guts" - for now - to start something like that... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed that Eduards gives you a set in their kit, but for those of us who already have the KP and Monogram kits those would be outstanding to have.

MikeC Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Reviving an old topic, a friend at my IPMS branch brought a work-in-progress along last night. He'd got the fuselage together, having added a Neomega cockpit, and it looked great - very little filler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
