Moscow as in the country of Russia, It isn’t that easy they don’t mail out of Russia sometimes, I also heard they would when asked. so you’ve got to contact them and ask them. Then you have a problem with payment, you can’t just give them your credit card because there are sanctions against Russia. So you’re stuck there, but you could send them money through somewhere like Iran cuba or Kazakhstan or someplace like that. However some countries stopped using the russian mir credit card because of Ukrainian hacker attacks, or you make a bank account at a foreign bank from a country that does business with them so you could send money to them and then ask them if they will mail it to you. Some of those foreign banks have us offices, usually in nyc, Or you have a friend who lives in Russia or family that can help you. I even thought about flying there but it takes two days you’ve got to fly ural, uzbekistan emirates or el al, the latter 2 probably safest, and then fly to Moscow and then you’ve got to navigate your way to the hobby shop. It’s a lot of work. One of most exciting models to come out in years and it’s frustrating not being able to get it. I wonder if some modeler in the us embassy there could send some home in a diplomatic bag. I want it so badly. Begemot Decals, Tempmodels figures all sorts of extras. Anyone in Florida got cuban relatives or a cigarette boat to go there? Mmm ! Maybe you get a flight to Ukraine then hitch a ride with Russian soldiers back to Moscow. Great model I agree but will not spend a dime with anything related to Russia. Edited April 10, 2023 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You could build this as a Ukrainian helicopter I suppose. Cant we at least have peace amongst international modelers?

MattP Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I'd LOVE to get one of those "Missile Magnets" in 1/144 scale!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I hope other factory will make this model. I won't spend money for Russian business. Not because I hate Russians, some for my friends are and I like this language and we all love modelling especially the Russian aircraft and helicopters but we all hate invader and murderer.

I doubt those who produce the model are actively engaged in warfare, they're likely modellers just like the rest of us. Hopefully we'll get a chance to buy this product in the future, capitalisms always finds a way!, perhaps in the future Arma would be willing to sell or license production to a more accessible producer. Mig 21 25 and 29 have all been used against my country, but I still enjoy reading about them and modelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You do know all or most of the plastic model you have in your house are made in China? A country that has several million individuals in camps just because they are practicing different religion. Also, those folks are being killed, used as slave labor, used as organ harvest, and women are being gang rapped by Chinese soldiers. Just saying! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's the 1/48 Italeri Ka-50 kit with the Neomega Ka-52 conversion. Lots of extras and lots of scratch building details not included in Neomega's set. And rivets!

stakor Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Wow ! This arma kit is awsome. For the Z decal - indeed in some EU countries there is a legal ban to use Z letter as symbol promoting rushizm but even with that we can make a diorama like scene on this T-shirt. The point is that even before the 2022 war and sanctions arma was not sending abroad (I was trying to order their Hind rivets, finally got it via seller on ebay). And now semes it's much easier to get original Ka-52 parts from downed ones. My buddy got a cover from downed Su-34 as an award from IPMS Ukraine for best ukr model in a contest. Let's hope this will be available soon or better Takom will go towards this in 35. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As I speak Russia I used to buy books, recently they published a lot of cool stuff like 'Black shark's tale' history of Ka-50/52, ecellent compendium about russian army aviation or a strange looking ...in 2016 when it was released... novel "Go Kiev!" about Mi-28 combat in Donbas.

A.C.Acikgoz Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Beside the politics, I am trying to build it with some custom printed decals... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newtonk Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) Good work on the decals, you weren't tempted to freehand them? As much as I'd like to do this menace, I'll wait for it in 1/35. Also, looking at the images of this helo on the previous page, there are two different machines out there with a shark mouth painted on the nose, so there are options around.

Cristofer Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Guys where to buy this model? Its accepted paypal payments method? Posible to send to Austria Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsman Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Nowhere at the moment. Arma doesn't accept new orders, it looks like they still haven't fulfilled all preorders. This might change but until they make arrangements to accept payments from the "West" there are not many chances unless you have connections in Russia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Nice helo but it should be scaled up to 35 or 32 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
