"On this festive Monday, as is already tradition, we will begin the story about our plans for 2025 with aviation and space themes!
The main aviation novelty of this year is the Russian Su-30SM fighter in 1/48 scale!
There is also a new addition to the helicopter theme! A model of the Soviet Mi-171 helicopter in 1/48, a development of the previously released Mi-8 model.
The aviation of the Great Patriotic War will be replenished with another model of the Yakovlev fighter. This time - a late version of the Yak-7 in 1/48!
The civilian line will receive a new model of the Airbus A-330-200 in 1/144.
And our second model of the rocket will be the famous Vostok LV, which launched the first cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin into orbit!
The release of the 1/144 model of the Soviet Tu-144 airliner has been postponed until the first half of 2025.
The rest of the aviation catalog is in the appendix.
The next batch of news is on Friday!"

1\100? 1\43? What’s with all the weird, off scales?
I’m surprised myself! And it would be fine if everything was already done in 1/35, but there’s still a lot of work there.

I’ve never tried to build a Zvezda kit before. But that UAZ-469 is tempting.

All the Zvezda kits post - 2018 are outstanding in engineering, fit and finish, and are priced very low.

And don’t even think about buying sets before this year. And if you have them, don’t throw them in the trash, you’ll ruin the lives of homeless people. You need to cut everything up into small pieces and bury it in someone else’s garden, or you’ll poison your trees.
