Have a great weekend, everyone! Today, we are providing an update regarding the feedback received—via comments and private messages—on the previously announced 2027 release: the 1/35 scale S-65 “Stalinets” tractor.
We adjusted the shape and height of the cab roof and corrected the visor. We added a second option for the headlights and their mounts. We added a square window on the right side panel, beneath the fuel tank. We added a longitudinal strip to the left of the fuel tank’s filler neck.
This announcement contains so much material that, due to photo limits, we have to split it into two posts. Even then, it’s hard to showcase everything we’ve packed into this model!
Introducing the Soviet Project 1124 river armored gunboat in 1/72 scale. Today, we’re presenting the 3D renders of this major project for your review. Post #1: general views.
Various fine details are still a work in progress; panel lines and some deck fittings aren’t shown yet. The kit will offer a wide range of assembly options!
Here is the second post featuring 3D renders of the Soviet Project 1124 river armored gunboat in 1/72 scale.
We are detailing the assembly options included in the kit:
Two T-28 turrets: an early version with a single large hatch, and a late version with two separate hatches and a rear-facing machine gun. A choice of gun mounts featuring either the KT-28 or L-10 cannon.
Two machine-gun turret options + two searchlight options for it.
Propellers: left + right pair, or two right-hand propellers.
Two deck options (two types of stern hatches, two anchor mounting options, two stern configurations).
Two mine options + optional smoke pots for the late-model gunboat.
Option to install a compass or assemble without it (leaving an empty mounting platform).
Two pilothouse options (with or without aft-facing shields) + the ability to display armored shutters on doors and windshields in either the open or closed position.
Stovepipe options: deck-mounted; pipe resting on brackets with a cap fitted; or pipe extending from the rear wall (for building the “Yeysky Patriot” gunboat).y
Another new release coming soon is the Voskhod-2 spacecraft and its launch vehicle. It was from this very craft that the first-ever spacewalk was conducted.
The box art for the model kit is ready. The test build and the packaging itself are on the way!
Let us tell you about our upcoming projects! Today, the spotlight is on the Voskhod launch vehicle and the Voskhod-2 spacecraft—the mission that saw the first-ever human spacewalk. Scale: 1/144.
The 3D renders for this new model are ready—we invite you to take a look!
Continuing our collaboration with Roscosmos, we are introducing a new 1/144 scale assembly model of the Voskhod-2 mission.
This new kit recreates the Voskhod launch vehicle and the Voskhod-2 manned spacecraft—the very craft in which Pavel Belyayev and Alexei Leonov flew, a mission that featured the first-ever spacewalk (extravehicular activity) in history.
Developed entirely from scratch by Zvezda, this model expands our collection of space-themed kits. The set consists of 122 parts, and the completed model stands 31 cm tall.
The test build is complete, and the packaging for this new release is ready.
