^ model kit lor

Hobby Boss IINM should be around MYR 50+ for a pop
If one wanted a challenge, Kitech kit could be found at Amcorp at MYR 100.00 for 3 kits (free mix of what is available)

Recently finished on Kitech 1/72 MiG-25P Foxbat-A
A bad kit, nonetheless, but at least I could learn on how to do filler (which I still sucks at sweat.gif)

btw Tiger I have altaya su-25. maybe he can review them. tongue.gif  tongue.gif  tongue.gif

To be fair, 1/72 Frogfoot is hard to come by in kit form locally. Manufacturers that came out with Su-25 designs in 1/72 such as Zvezda, Kopro, KP, Hobbycraft, Italeri, Revell etc are still inaccurate by the rivet counters' standard. Getting an Su-25 in die-cast alleviate such problem dealing with what could be done to make it accurate (as possible). One could just bought one, play for a while (engine noise optional, but highly recommended), and not to worry of the inaccuracies since one paid quite a dough in getting a die-cast Su-25 and just assume it is all good laugh.gif

And being the only one with die-cast Su-25 compared to other manufacturers, Altaya is okay for what it is worth. The landing gear covers are rather impossible to come out without prying if displayed in flight mode, do bear that in mind. The pitot tubes are rather thick (by scale standard), but I would rather it be a bit thick than those things snapped and flew off by the flick of one's finger tongue.gif

If you fancy ugliness as adowobel, then it should be considered (if could be found locally) wub.gif

Personally, I am digging those shark mouth decals, it make quite a difference in terms of appearance,

Thanks comrade Tiger I. Good review.
And Thanks everyone, I will keep in mind and consider  hmm.gif , hope I not a rusher, haha. tongue.gif
Yes, Altaya sure is better than Amercom but worth it or not depend on like it or not. sweat.gif

very much welcome. go for altaya if you could not find the specific model by other manufacturer, or somehow the seller is giving a great deal with low price. i don't see anything wrong with low price tongue.gif

thanks for the review, tiger I!

my take is that being one of those "with magazine" models, i suspect, as what comrade deathsoul mentioned, that it's mostly plastic with minimal diecast too. well, with a retail price of rm60, something has got to give. we had the fighter aircraft collection for rm29.90... so the question is, would you pay 3x the retail price for an amercom model from the fighter aircraft collection? from my personal experience, i think 2x is still reasonable if it's a model you really really like... but 3x is pushing it a bit far. likewise, i'd probably grab an altaya at rm120 max. but that's just me...

Trust me, if any seller is selling Altaya at MYR 120.00, I bet it would sell like pisang goreng laugh.gif The beauty of Altaya is that it provides aircraft with lower price (supposedly, if it were available in Malaysia) and with never-before-released like the Foxhound. IINM no other manufacturer did that in die-cast. Kudos on them for that. But like stated previously, if one is spoiled with the details and more percentage of die-cast, surely Altaya would not even be bothered tongue.gif

the gaincorp su34 is pretty decent, from what i heard... and yes, it is under my consideration as well. but the price...  hmm.gif

I might be getting the kit and paint myself when I have AB set biggrin.gif

Talk about VTOL, F-35B did copy the tech of Yak-38U,
the big fan of the center. hmm.gif

The resemblance of F-35 and Yak-41 is even more apparent with the single exhaust on the back

why fix what ain't broken? this is also apparent in tank design as well (since i could relate to that tongue.gif). last time got few tank design with multi turret, big and lumbering, fast and quick, etc

same applies to aircraft too laugh.gif

Surely the IRL pilots would feel weird the first time getting on the Fullback, with getting into the cockpit via somewhat irregular method tongue.gif

At least the inside of the cockpit is roomy enough to allow the pilot to lay down for a rest in a long mission
