New Su-34 in 1:72 from Zvezda?


Recommended Posts

Yes, it will be old sprues with new decal (decal just now in print), so in this case - sorry, not new tools.

About my English - yes, i'm operate only school levell + some practic with computer. I'm know - my English is not perfect.

To quote Kotey from Britmodeller.....As i say it will be old model with new decal, sorry, but no mirical in this case.

And, as I posted on Britmodeller..........

The box art shows a recent Su-34 attacking a target in Syria - complete with upper wing fences, a Platan targeting system and an APU in the tailboom.

The Italeri kit has none of the above and needs considerable work to turn it into an up-to-date Su-34......

.... as I have done here.

So, in summary, it is the old Italeri kit - with new box art and decals - but nothing done to update it.

Without some work, you can't make it as per the box art - another case of misrepresentation?

Thank you, Ken.

Except English texts in my instructions. :bandhead2:/>

"Will work for beer" "Will correct English for decals" :)

Those iron bombs on the box art aren't included in the taleri mold, are they?

Cheers,

Andre

No, but you'll find two of its in each MiG-29 9-13 models.

So, how about next marketing plans: If you'll buy one 7298 Su-34 and two 7278 MiG-29 models - you'll have four bombs for Su-34 model (except two fine MiG-29 models)?

That's a bit hypercritical - if you are refering to Mr Begemot's post (Kotey)

English isn't his first language - and I just wish my Russian was as good as his English.

Or do you mean some other spellings??

I have a policy, I would never say anything to anybody on the Internet, that I'm not willing to tell them to their face. Maybe more people should adopt this policy.

Now, Andrey, I don't know about others but that is exactly what I might just do! :D

Thanks for the heads up :thumbsup:

Ken

That's the same thing I was going to say....

Btw, Kotey, if you ever need an italian translation (even if I don't see why you should) drop me a line :)

Duh! You're right, of course. :bandhead2: Stoopid comment; fixed it; apology posted separately. Wasn't picking on Kotey particularly, but it looks that way for sure...consider me suitably chastised.

Man, I bet this kit will sell well in Russia, even though it's an Italeri rebox. I remember Guy from Linden Hill Imports posting on Facebook a Russian news article about Zvezda, and how they've seen rising sales of modern aircraft kits due to the conflict in Syria. And since the Su-34 is a cornerstone of that air campaign, I bet Zvezda will see a good profit from this kit.
