1/144 "Velikie Pobedi" (Great Glory's) Kits



In August I featured a new Russian based magazine and kit series (here), since then I have received further information on the magazine : "Velikie Pobedi" (Great Glory's) It would appear to come with 1/72 figures and 1/144 Aircrat and 1/144 Tanks. Via the Tancist website there are more images and comparisons available.

Items features are T-34, IL-2 and a JU-87 and are accompanied by a Magazine

As stated, and as you can see the kits cover the main subjects of the 'Great Patriotic War' and therefore the target audience should relate to them with ease. The Tank kits dont look too bad, although the Ju-87 is a bit basic in some areas and doest not stack up against the the still imperious original cando or the recent issues this year.

Thamks to Etendard for providing me with the links

1/148 IL-2 - by Zvezda




Звезда 1/148 Ил-2!
Zvesda 1/148 IL-2

An interesting kit has come to my attention, it appears that it may be part of a magazine series in Russian similar to the 'Del Prado' or Ixo/Altaya style approach where a magazine and a model/kit are sold as a package. It is not clear if this is a one-off special, or part of an on-going series?

The kit is simple and cheap by all acounts, please see the link below for more photographs.

The kit appears to have been made by Zvezda and is approx 1/148, again not clear is this is a common size or a size to fit the package?

Obviously, Google translate does not provide all answers!?
So if you have any further information?
