Mike D Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Always a sucker for a Frogfoot. Is the 'new' Zvezda kit new tool or somebody's repop? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnopfor Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Re-release of their older kit that was reboxed by Italeri. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike D Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 well, crud.. glad I asked first. Add it to the great big list o kits that need updating, and move on to build something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicholassagan Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 i saw that, too. it would be REAAAALLLY nice if someone came up with a new tool. trumpeters su-24 is INCREDIBLE, inaccuracies aside. they could do this one justice... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Model Art has a new tool that is dimensionally accurate, but is probably not going to fall together. It is more of a "limited run" type kit so fit is not going to be the greatest. http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ARTM7215 I have their Su-25 UB kit, and it is much better than any other offerings in the scale (I have both the KP and Zvezda as well). I have not built the Model Art kit yet, however. Maybe somebody else has? Cheers, Hoops Edited September 3, 2015 by Hoops Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vultures1 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'm working on the Art Model SU-25 (off and on) at the moment. Still early stages but first impressions are that it is dimensionally spot-on (at least according to 4+ plans), the details look good and the fit is ... OK. Definitely a step up from the KP kit in terms of detail and from Zvezda/Italeri in terms of accuracy. Definitely worth a try if you fancy an accurate Rook Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragan_mig31 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I have built the Model Art SU-25.It is by far the best 1:72 su-25 offering so far but still a very challenging kit to work with. Definetley not recommended for beginners.Still I can`t understand why they included resin seat and cockpit tub and left the instrument panel flat with no details at all. My finished kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
digit Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The reason for flat instrument panel is that Art Model also sells a PE detail set. My finished kit I can't see your model :( "The link you followed may have expired, or the page may only be visible to an audience you're not in." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My finished kit I've got a couple of the Model Art kits myself. I noticed that the same company that does the sprues for Model Art also does some of the new kits for AModel and RV.

Well for the 30euros I paid for the kit I think they should even put a simple plastic detail Instrumpet panel. Here is another link where you can see the photos http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=279028&st=0&p=2653226&hl=su-25&fromsearch=1entry2653226 Where can I get any info on the new su-25?
