Berkut Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yeah i wont even try to keep up with Seb, i am horrendously slow model builder. :P Since i believe it was never posted on AMK FB, here is a close up of the main instrument panels; And inside of the landing gear doors and airbreaks are nicely detailed too; The main landing gear doors will have pin marks completely cleverly covered but the airbreaks need some work being cleaned up. And i can confirm, it is huge, here is one fuselage section compared to 1/72 F-102 (and F-102 is very large itself); Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MoFo Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 They're embargoed until Dec.1, so every retailer around the world can put them on sale at the same time. I suspect the thinking is, this way the kits can get to North American/European retailers to help build a distribution network rather than having a handful of Asian web stores get a head start. So, you can order it now (a few places were listed above), but those retailers aren't supposed to start shipping until Dec.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlexP Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I can't wait, I now have two on order from LM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I think Sebastijn should have got kit #1... :monkeydance:/> Berk, listen to the wise man talk :D I just hope you haven't so badly misspelled my name on the box, that the kit would end up someplace I cannot spell.

Martin @ AMK Models Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Speaking to you as a fellow modeller, if you need cockpit instruments then you could go here: http://airscale.co.uk/store.php#!/1-48-scale-Soviet-Jets-Cockpit-Decals/p/39195029/category=10110362 No affiliation to the company. This is the only company I know of doing these but if there is another then please advise and I will edit this post for fairness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
