availability of 1/144 R-7 kit? Please help!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #80678 of 81869 |
Dear Space modelers,

New Ware is starting new line of products: 1/144 R-7 conversion and detail sets.
First of them will be Sputnik 1, and if there will be an interest, also Sputnik
2 and 3. Next we will continue this line by Vostok, Soyuz, Molniya, Voskhod and
other variants. We are also planning some unusual and interesting variants, as
early spy and satellite interceptors LVs - the most interesting on them is that
upper stage was connected to the booster without interstage truss. All variants
with interstage trusses will include resin trusses, no PE ones.

The base problem of this line seems to me availability of 1/144 R-7 kit, which
was already manufactured by these companies:
Apex
AER Moldova
Maquette
Eastern Express - this company is probably holding the mold now.

I was not very succesfull in looking for any of these kits on internet, so if
you knhow any internet or other source for this kit, please let me know and I
recommend modelers to buy kit there.

I am able to buy kits from czech shop named "Valka", but the price will be in
range $ 20 - $ 22 + postage, I hope that there is cheaper source especially for
US modelers.

Tom,  You keep on making them and I'll buy them for sure! A line (sort of) from a famous movie "Build them and they will buy them". Corny I know but true.  ...
