Gran Models located in Moscow, Russia offers a number of injection molded plastic model kits in 1/72nd scale.  The one that caught my eye was the SA-2 Guideline (S-75 "Wolchow") SAM which was the subject of a kit review by Manual Leyva at Modellversium.de.  I found the link for the Gran Models web page and discovered that they produce much more than just the S-75/SA-2 SAM.

There are two very interesting subjects scheduled for future release that some of you folks will appreciate very much.  A shame that they are in 1/72nd scale. 


Here is a kit review from Modellversium.de for the S-75 "Wolchow" (SA-2 Guideline) SAM

Rapier and GAZ-69! Love their general selection of SAMs, too. And in the Ideal Scale, too... brilliant. Thanks for this info!

Bah!!! Wrong scales... ;)

Jeffry Fontaine:
Certainly would be nice if one of these companies would try to produce the various radars for each of these missile systems.   That would give someone the resources to build a complete air defense battery including the fire control and electronics vans to go with the radars.  This is definitely something that would not be affordable if built in a larger scale but attractive enough in something smaller like 1/144th or 1/72nd scale would create a reasonably sized diorama project. 

Litvyak:
Don't quote me but I *think* some of the radars and such are available in railway scales like 1:87 and 1:120, but I agree, it would be nifty to have the "secondary vehicles" available in larger scales.

Though, for an SA-2 or SA-3 site, for example, I'm not sure I'd want to do it much bigger than 1:120...........
