Some time ago Evan had put me on to an outfit called HeavyKits, the owner was putting his moulds for the 1/72 Hughes Hercules he had up for sale (he sold about 25 of them). He was associated with Aircraft in Miniature so had a franchise so to speak for selling AiM stuff in the USA. I nearly bought the moulds from him but someone advised me not to as they were all 'male' moulds and the asking price was too much (plus the fact A Model had announced they were doing one). But while chatting with the owner about buying the moulds, he told me he had some moulds done for an An-124 and the An-225 in 1/72 to go too. But only the fuselage moulds were complete ------

Fotios Rouch has uploaded an in-box kit review of the Modelsvit 1:72nd scale multi-media model of the An-124 Ruslan (Condor) kit number 7201 (http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/ms/kit_ms_7201.shtml).

Certainly not a model for the faint of heart or for anyone on a budget. This thing is huge and and quite expensive.

Bah!!! I will be awaiting the 1/48 one... 8)

Following up their early 1/72 Su-7, here are two more members of the Fitter family:

And, also in 1/72, two kits just begging to be whiffed into operational military aircraft, two incarnations of the MiG "Analog" development aircraft:

Wonder how long before we'll see a conversion kit to make an AN-225 from the AN-124?

It ain't cheap though!!! I am still interested though... :-\
-
496 plastic parts
HOW many? :o
I know it's big, but how do they manage THAT many parts? Is every panel a separate moulding????
-
Full interior?

I want 1 kit. No make it 2. Ah make it 10 kits. So much WIFF potential

Awesome !!

That's a pretty big model! I wouldn't mind getting one, but even the smaller Modelsvit kits tend to be very expensive, at least in the US.

Bah! Wrong scale!

*As a side note to this rather interesting model of an even more interesting subject I can tell you from first hand experience that it is a very strange looking beast. This craft as well as others of its type were located at a flight test center in Russia after the test program and left out in the open. The state no longer had a need for the craft or design and moved on so these things and there were several other variations on the Bartini design parked in the same location. This became an "Easter Egg" of sorts for the imagery analysts that attended the USAF training program for satellite imaging systems (yes, I attended and graduated). As most imagery analysts were guilty of the wandering eye while parked on a microscope looking at the imagery it was quite a treat to find these things parked out in the open and neglected. I can never forget the shape of the things so when Modeslvit decided to produce a 1:72nd scale model of this unique craft it is very much appreciated to be able actually see it without the aid of having to travel to that location (passport required), or the security clearance and a microscope of my prior trade in life when I was in uniform looking for interesting things in denied areas.
-
Hmmm…might be interested…after all, I think my hopes for a 1/48 one are not going to occur.
-
As I recall, there was a test of inflatable pontoons. It looks like that may be included. Big question is where do I get one?
-
I'm sort of interested in the undercarriage it has, I need something like that for a 1/72 Avro 730. Not sure if they're big enough though, that weird thing is only 16" wingspan in 1/72 scale

Robert: Ivan Kolenko over at Modelsua.com has the VVA-14-M-62 (http://modelsua.com/VVA-14-M-62-Vertical-soaring-amphibian-WIG-craft-1-72-ModelSvit-72014.html). I have bought from him several times. So far very reliable. With an account, the price is $37.00 USD. Tempted to buy one to complement my P6M Seamaster.
-
I was doing a quick search and so far for the price you don't want to buy one just for the landing gear. :o
-
Thanks Carl --
lets hope Scale Aircraft Conversions do a replacement set sometime ---
-
Hmm, 72nd is a bit big for my desktop - I'd buy several in 1/144th PLASTIC tho ..... I wonder if many will whiff these kits rather than build OOB ???
I can see a V.V.S maritime bomber in there ! (profiles started !) :)

I-7U SUPERSONIC INTERCEPTOR PROTOTYPE EXPECTED SEPTEMBER!!!
Brief history: In the beginning of 1956, the “OKB-155"( Mikoyan-and-Gurevich ) Design Bureau began developing new supersonic interceptor under designation I-7U.
I-7U had all-metal construction with mid-mounted 55° swept wing , fuselage with circular cross-section, single-seat pressurized cockpit, adjustable cone inlet at the front the fuselage accommodating radar antenna, adjustable horizontal stabilizer and 2 additional airbrakes under the fuselage, just in front of the wing roots.The armament consisted of two NR-30 cannons, located in the wing roots. Powered by Lyulka AL-7F engine with nominal thrust of 6300 kg. and 10,000 kg with afterburning, the aircraft was supposed to reach 2M airspeed.
The I-7U’s maiden flight took place on April 22, 1957, few months later - the sole prototype suffered damage as a result of the starboard undercarriage leg failing when the aircraft landed following its 13th flight. After repair, the test program was resumed, but involved only six more flights till the February1958, when the project was terminated by the Chief Designer due to the unsatisfying flying performance. However, I-7U became one of the first planes of the new “Heavy MiG’s" family.

My word of advice? Stick with the Anigrand version. The Modelsvit model's I have made have tended to be over-complicated and they don't use locating pins. Their instructions are also occasionally unclear. Anigrand are simpler and much easier to build.
-
At ARC and BM I've been following along a build of the Modelsvit Sukhoi T-10, aka Protoflanker. Now they're doing the Mirage 4000, anyone have any 1970s-now fighter prototypes they'd like to see?

How about almost-prototypes, like the other finalists in the F-15 competition (though I would not mind seeing the Grumman entry in that one, too) or the AMD Super-Mirage ACF that was derived from the Mirage G.8?

Already have several of their kits, including multiple Mirage IIIV variants. Might as well continue the trend.
Since they already have the Mirage IIIV, wonder if we will get to see a Mirage IIIT?

I am waiting on their promised Mirage IIIE. Indeed, I am waiting on a cheap Mirage IIIE from someone other than the traditional kit makers. One that is accurate and can be easily converted to an IIIO.

Modelsvit has decided to go ahead with plans to produce a 1/72 scale Antonov An-225 For release,next year. I suppose I could compromise my standards and get one to go alongside my Hughes Hercules.

Hello Friends,
We have started development of 1/48 P-51H Mustang, which release is scheduled for 2019. Initial 3D designing CAD renders are shown below.
and: Modelsvit:: F-82G Twin Mustang in our plans too.
(https://scontent.fxds1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/45464891_2231684830433889_4810770538714628096_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_ht=scontent.fxds1-1.fna&oh=54adfa753d3efba3d55267ac8a85944e&oe=5C6DC6E6)
-
That should make 'most all production Mustangs and Twin-Mustangs available in 1/48 when they release these kits. I'm certain some parties will be ecstatic.

Well I do really have some 1/48 scale planes, all of my very favorite aircraft --- I think it might be about 12 to 15 but I can't remember exactly. I found one in my stash which I'm having problems figuring out why I bought it --- an Airfix EE Lightning
-
Oh yes I have 1/48 kits that contribute parts to 1/72 scale-o-ramas.

Usually the discovery is of a 1/72 scale kit, but as I don't have very many 1/48, the Lightning is baffling me --- I may just move it on at sometime (along with a bunch of 1/144 scale kits, or the occasional 1/200 one)

Envision 1/48 XP-55 as 1/72 jet.
With two or three engines in the rear. Given the power of early engines, you might want three, maybe even four.
Hmm, use four and scalorama it to 1/72 as a competitor to the B-45 and XB-46?

Well, that pretty much finishes out their full run of "big, single-engine MiGs and derivatives". Wonder if they, also, will do a Ye-231 to finish the set?

Isn't the Ye231 just a fixed wing MiG23?

No, it's not. Different intakes and the presence of lift engines makes a big difference.

OK, I must be thinking of a different aircraft then.

ART MODEL do already produce a 1/72 kit:

Mind you, combining one of these with the intakes from a standard MiG-23 (or vice-versa) could trick some people. >:D
-
Mind you, I'm very tempted to do one with lift engines removed and canards on the intakes as a developed, less-complex, approach to the requirements. Canards would, of course, be standard MiG design in planform.

I understand that there will be 1-800 number in which you can to discuss financing options such as line of credit, 2nd mortgage or low monthly payments with your first born handed over as collateral.

The second mortgage is a good idea. You are going to have to build a room addition anyway.

The real one lands at Calgary Airport every now and then, each time though I've missed it. Seen the AN-124's quite often though while working there.

From another site:
Dear All,
Herein would like to inform you that the release of An-225 "Mriya" (#7206, #7207) to be postponed for the end of Q1, 2020.
The kit is already in production, however - manufacturing process of fiberglass parts ( wing, fuselage) takes more time and effort, as far as it is handmade.
Official retail price shall be announced in the end of Jan/early Feb 2020.
Thank you for your attention!

More time to save up...or to recover from donating aN organ...or from having an appendage removed by SWMBO...

Modelsvit is drawing up plans to produce a 1/48 scaleYak-9SD night fighter
”Hello Friends,
Maybe someone of you know that in the end of 1944, a small amount of Yak-9D (Early vers.) were converted into 2-seat night interceptors with more powerful armament and radio locator. So, we have decided to recreate this unfamiliar modification under designation Yak-9SD in 1/48 scale.
Greetings!!”

Apparently just an April Fools' joke. :uuu:
Why do companies do this? I don't see the point of this bullshit. Oh, great, you proved that your customers care about your products and are happy to hear of your news. But.... HAHA! It was just a joke! And you believed it (you gullible idiot)! Look who's got egg on his face!
Surely a good way to improve curstomer relations. Just... why? :-\
-
My apologies for posting this. Yes, I agree it was done in bad taste.
-
No apologies necessary, Carl. :smiley: It looked absolutely legit.
Hadn't Gingie brought up the possibility of an April Fools-type stunt in the Takom thread re the Yamato turret I wouldn't have considered this Yak to be a prank. There were so many subtypes and prototypes in the Yak family, why not a prototpye of Zwilling as a nightfighter? With the F-82 in Korea, I wouldn't have put it past the Soviets to give somehing like that a try themselves.
As a what-if, it's actually pretty cool.
-
It would cause a commotion at a show that’s for sure! I’m sure Tophe will get a kick out of this!
-
Someone should still build it and show it along with the renders. "Look, it was true after all..." ;)
-
Maybe the twin Yak was a hint towards this:
1/48 scale F-82 Twin Mustang:

After trying to build the ModelKRAP F-82 I can only hope that this kit actually goes together without all of the requisite cursing and rage that only a ModelKrap kit can bring you. :smiley:
By the way, their P-51H Mustang is beautiful.

Considering the MSRP I think there will be plenty available. I figure two-four kits for me will suffice unless there is something really remarkable included in the kit.

1/72 gets Su-17M4 and Mirage 2000B/D/N double-seaters. Modelsvit gonna get A LOT of my money this year. :icon_beer: Not complaining or anything.
Looking at that Mirage G8, I can't help feeling that my plan to put swing-wings on a Mirage F.1 will seem unoriginal. Bummer! ;D Oh well, at least putting F.1 wings on a MiG-23 is still on.
-
I saw the XP-55 a few days ago, but missed the Goose and the Black Bullet. I might wish they were 1/72, but I just glad they're being produced at all.
