Jennings Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Just received the new Zvezda kit from Russia. All I can say is "wow"!! This is hands-down, easily the best 1/144 airliner kit ever made, period. I'm currently working on a detailed review which I'll post at some point. The kit isn't perfect (no kit is), but it's pretty darn close! "Jewel-like" is the phrase that springs to mind. It's a joy to behold. Can't wait to start putting some glue to plastic! If you have even the slightest interest in Sovietski airliners (and who doesn't?), get this kit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mercury Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yes, very interested in this one as I flew on an Aeroflot one back in '88! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm working on a whole raft of decals for it, including Aeroflot (many, many variations). The kit decals are okay, but I think the Aeroflot blue is far too 'electric' looking, and I'm not happy with the typeface they used for the Aeroflot titles. On the plus side, you get a lot of stencil type details that appear to be very well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 All Aeroflot logos made by photos, it was at least 5 types of writings on Il-62s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
