Title: Zvezda new 1/144 Hurricane
Post by: GrumpyOldMan on 25 April 2012, 10:56:30 PM
Hi

Just saw on another forum that Zvezda is bringing out a 1/144 Hurricane Mk1 sometime in the northern summer. Lots of 15mm gear coming but this is the only relevant scale item. The German and Russian planes have been very handy and I imagine that this will be too.

Cheers

What website can I order some of these? I desperately need Russian/German aircraft.

Thanks, Peter

The Forum's own Gandalf stocks a lot of the Zvezda stuff, he may have some of these in once they get released.

Great little models - cheap and easy to build. Now if they'd only bring out something useful like an Oscar or a Val I'd be over the moon.  <:-P

Thanks Leon, but there are no Soviet planes.  :( Is Pendraken going to get any eventually?

At this point I'd say no, the main reason being the costs for airplane masters doesn't weigh up against the potential sales.  It's a lot easier to source the 1:144th kits for anything we don't do.

Which planes are you looking for in particular, and we'll see if we can find any of them?

Zvezda do an IL-2 Stormovik and a Lavochkin Lag-5 if you're interested.

At least some of the Zvezda planes are available through the Plastic Soldier Company http://theplasticsoldiercompany.co.uk/
