Thanks Steffen, the kit sounds a little dissapointing. It will be interesting to compare it if this new company KP re-issue their 1/48 Su-25, which I believe comes from the same mould as Eduard's Su-25.
All the best.

Hi Guys

As for the Su-25

well for me this is the worst of the OEZ moulds (not sure which were originally issued by OEZ Letohrad or by Kovozavody Prostejov, but IMO they are from the same design team: Su-7, Su-17/22, Su-25, MiG-21MF/SMT/Bis)

- Sprues: The panel lines are very weak and washed out .. not sure how to properly describe it, but these are broad and fuzzy (and not only in this issue, but already in the first box) I already have one with the original Eduard PE and Neomega pit so this new issue has little additional value to me personally (though there is some)
- Resin is nice (but less cockpit stuff than in the Su-22), nice seat, flare dispensers and scoops, FOD covers would have been great as the intakes/nozzles are a PITA
- PE looks like the known stuff, but I have to check that (of course some colour PE included),
- decals are very nice (I tried to convince Jan to include Alexander Rutskoy's machine .. but there is only a profile known to me and Jan did not want such stuff in the kit ... in case you do not know: HSU in Afghanistan flying Su-25, shot down by Pakistani F-16 and former Russian vice president)

all the best

Steffen

Thanks for the heads up Steffen, I've been waiting for the Eduard release of the Su-25K. I'll still get it though as it looks like the best offering around. Now just waiting for some one to do a Su-33

Hi again

Well, my reading is sorted out for the next few days thanks to samples from our friends at Albatros Productions



I'll review them as soon as poss.

All the best
