Very cool. Remember the Bush Tucker Man telling Southern Cross’s story in one of his shows.
Is it an old or new tooling?

According to Scalemates…

Timeline for Zvezda (7233) Fokker F-VII “Southern Cross”

it’s the 2023(New decals) edition…from a 2000(new box) but… it’s a Svit kit…New Boxed (1990’s)…which is reboxed from a 1978 Frog kit.

So it’s been around the block a bit?

I’ll keep popping by and seeing how it goes together.

Ok ! Thanks !

As you can see the molds are old…

I got to cancel this one… unfortunately I found that this kit was missing part of a sprue, with bits from the landing gear, rear wings, rudder and engine.

Bummer.

Oh man! That’s not good. And it’s not like getting spares from Zvezda is going to be easy these days.
This was looking to be a really cool project too.

Yeah.. I know. :roll_eyes:
