serendip Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Hi all, Just to be sure, does anyone do a 1/48 glazed nose Hind where the crew sit side by side? Thanks, Marc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tank Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 A year ago I would have been pretty confident that Zvezda would have upscaled their 1/72 A kit. The rivet issue on the existing Hind kit and current shipping constraints, not as confident anytime soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not this year, anyway. It's not on the Zvezda's 2023 catalogue pages. @serendip, Marc you can get the Zvezda’s 72nd scale kit, it’ll not disappoint you: my long Work In Progress here.

Some companies have never released a kit shown and some have released kits not listed. Good looking A kit. One of these days I will build my kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mi-24A in 1\72 - most unpopular from 4 Mi-24s family models in 1\72 (Mi-35M, Mi-24V, Mi-24P, Mi-24A), its temporary out of production now, so i don't think that Mi-24A in 1\48 will release.

While I have seen decal manufacturers go back and forth….1/72 guys can’t sell 1/48 and 1/48 can’t sell 1/72. I would be hard pressed to shell out cash if one scale did bad as a manufacturer. As you are closer in both regards to Zvezda then I, I don’t doubt your assessment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Nikolay, I'll take my chances and wait for the 1/48th scale kit (if that happens). Marc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
