Zvezda Il-62M - wow!


Recommended Posts

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!

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.
