Nuremberg Toy Fair pictures


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

the pictures from the Nuremberg Toy Fair are online at Prime Portal.

Some things to note:

Lighting conditions were not so optimal for taking pictures. I was a little in a hurry and most of the stuff was behind glass. So sorry for any inconvenience. I am no portrait photographer...

Interesting which details Academy, Italeri and HAsegawa are focusing on with their F-35A.

Academy: Pro: separate weapon bay and all external pylons. Con: partial intakes

Italeri: Pro: full engine. Con: Partial intakes. Goofed canopy by molding the frame arch on the outside and where the real thing has a detonator cord, they molded another frame arch.

Hasegawa: Pro: full intakes. Canopy frame and arch molded as separate pieces. Con: no weapon bay, thus no weapons. No external pylons either. Molded on detonator cords in the canopy.

And depending on your taste. Academy & Italeri have raised RAM surface detail. Hasegawa after their F-22 boiler plate fiasco seems they went for flat surface with engraved lines.

I wish Zvedza would have shown their new Flanker...

You are not the only one. Apparently we might see first sprues next week, but that is in Zvezda-time. :) So we should see them in about a month. :rolleyes:

I'm not over fond of the cockpit being molded into the upper fuselage. Based on what I have seen of the 3 it looks like I'll be going with the academy kit.

Zvezda missile launcher looks intense!!!

Looks like an awesome kit. I'm just bummed that they don't include a missile. I mean, it's supposed to be a kit of a Topol, so... where's the Topol?!?
