Topic says it all - stumbled across such kits (including Lavochkin La-9 and La-11 fighters in 1:72, and a Pucara, but they also have SAMs[!] and vehicles in the line-up) online, but cannot find any 1st hand information about quality? Anyone know something?

What an interesting range of models they have. :thumbsup:
They say in there that the Airfix SAM2 was 1/76 scale, is that right?
Love the range of Soviet SAMs, they should sell like hot cakes if the price is right. AND they have a Spitfire I/V as well, we'll await The Wooksta's judgment on that one. ;D

Probably it was in the vehicle range which was 1/76 as far as I remember

Says there that they're planning to release a 1/72nd Rapier SAM battery - that's be very welcome!
I have a few of the Gran 1/72nd scale Vodnik wheeled APC's. Quite a nice kit and well detailed, they are very similar to ICM vehicle kits in appearance. I have also made one of their Russian SAM systems too. I can recommend them.

VERY welcome indeed! It surprises me that it takes a Russian manufacturer to bring one to market. Why couldn't Airfix or one of the other makers do it? Thier Missile systems look really nice - Will have to get some of them.
Definately another manufacturer to go on the list.
I like the look of the Su-15

Their Rapier has been announced for a while, release date is listed as 2010-2011. Hopefully we'll see it, fingers crossed.

Been done!
One of the wargames figures manufacturers does a white metal Rapier launch unit in 1/76.
But I can never remember who it is...
Thanks a lot for the feedback, guys! :thumbsup:
