Here's a page from 2009 (!) referring to an even earlier kit, supposedly by South Front, which also was never released. Did AMG get the masters when South Front went out of business, or is the AMG kit completely new? Either way, we still want a good, accurate 1/72 R-5! https://www.dishmodels.ru/gshow.htm?p=6314 John 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Yes, please! The R-5 was a significant Soviet aircraft, with thousands built, and it was used extensively in the early part of the Great Patriotic War, in addition to seeing use in the Winter War. A new-mould kit of this would be greatly appreciated, and you would have at least one buyer (of multiple kits) in me.

Plus an accurate injection moulded R-Z, with correct length and chord lower wings, or an aftermarket correction kit for that and a few other iinaccuracies in an otherwise nice Azur/Special Hobby kit As far as I know, haven’t we had just the same injection moulded 1/72 R-5 kit reboxed over and over again for 5 decades or more, then a very early vac form/injection hybrid by MPM that was quite good, maybe a completely vac form kit too; but no new fully injection moulded or resin kit?

TT Hi Tony! Good to see you back again! The only other kits I can think of are high-quality resins by Airkit in Russia. There was an ARK-5 and maybe an R-Z, but whether these are still available, I don't know. He previously did an R-5 or R-Z as a vacuform, but that was a long time ago. https://www.72news.eu/2017/03/airkits-polikarpov-ark-5-released.html John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

occa Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Folks everyone must buy at least three of this kit so that they'll bring out the limousine and ambulance versions plus the float and ski stuff !! Can't wait for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 There is a lot of variants including closed fuselage PR-5. A lot of fun with scratch conversions!
