Title: Art Model
Post by: ChernayaAkula on February 23, 2012, 02:46:58 AM

From the fine folks who brought us decent 1/72 kits of the Yak-36 "Freehand" and the Yak-141 "Freestyle", now comes something pretty cool: a 1/72 Ye-8 prototype!

HERE'S (http://itmages.ru/image/view/431797/ce79f0c6) a pic of a built-up kit and HERE'S (http://itmages.ru/image/view/431790/3c392ef8) a pic of the plastic parts.

Gotta have one. Would look pretty cool in operational colours.

I note that they also have a Faithless, MiG-23PD, among their other releases besides the Yak-36 and Yak-141.  There's lots of whiffing potential in that one, especially if the lift engines are removed.  I'm thinking of inlet-mounted canards similar to those on the Kfir as a starting place, possibly with reduced leading-edge sweep outer panels to allow tip-mounted IRAAMs.

Art Model has released a 1/72 Su-28, a simplified trainer and aerobatics version of the Su-25 twin-seaters. Scalemodels.ru has a thorough look at the parts. LINK (http://scalemodels.ru/articles/5910-obzor-Art-Model-1-72-su-28.html) Looks like the combat trainers aren't far behind. Actually, if you have another Frogfoot you can nick the pylons and ordnance from, the rest is already there.

A decent 1/72 Frogfoot!  :icon_surprised: Can it be true?
Hope they'll also do the single-seaters.  8)  I could use one or two... dozen.

Damn, 2013 is going to be expensive!  :icon_twisted:
