Bill Cross Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Woke up this AM to find out those clever bastards at Ukraine's Reskit have launched new goodies like a replacement nose cone for the Trumpy Thud, a new rotor for the ICM Tarhe (folded or open), and MJ-1A/B/C Jammers for loading ordnance. https://reskit-models.com/scale-plastic-model-kits/new-releases Zola25, Tony T, Out2gtcha and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Boy, ResKit has really stepped up with some of their stuff! That Tarhe main rotor set looks wonderful. Bill Cross, Uncarina and Rick Griewski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 They are the Aires of the 2020s! I'm really wondering if and when they will decrease the pace of releases! And if they ever do it, is it before or after having crushed all their competitors? Considering what is going on in this country this is simply unbelievable!

Zola25 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I have really been looking forward to their Mirage 2000 two-seater cockpit. That just looks incredible.. The Tarhe rotor hub looks amazing too.. scvrobeson and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Guess it’s time to build another A-7 the D this time… Uncarina and Bill Cross 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 There are several pages of new ResKit stuff. May order direct this time as I "need" the USAF/FMS F-4E outer wing pylons, along with the 'early' c/l tank (shame there's no blunt rear cap for IDF/AF versions of that), and wing tanks and another two sets of inboard MAU-12 wing pylons for a C and E. These pylons are real game changers, featuring critical ventral detail and exquisite decal stencils. Still awaiting the 1:32 A-7E inlet, wells and canopy/cockpit - allegedly in development. That's going to cost a very pretty penny so I'm glad to be having a bit of a holiday to catch up with necessary Phantom II and Thud gear. It's the finesse of ResKit that really puts everything on another level. Tony Scotsman and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony What I really like as well is that all their stuff just fits into the kit it was intended for - without much effort. They have really changed the game compared to the resin companies like Aires. Don´t get me wrong, I love a lot of the stuff from Aires and the likes, but 3D printing just allows for much more precision. I hope we will see much more stuff in the area of Landing Gears, Wheel Wells and Cockpits for jets in the future. /Niels Tony T, Uncarina and Bill Cross 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Got to say I don't miss the Aires dust piles when "persuading" the pieces to fit I'm sure I also saw a 1/32 F-105 Intake and wheel well assembly also in development. If that does see the light of day I'm going on a safari to the loft to find my 105, last seen sometime the early 2000s!

Neo Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Yeah they are making so much good stuff. Just saw their 1/48 a-7 intake kit 1/32 is probably not far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ResKit need to tackle the cockpit/canopy/windshield of the "squashed" Trumpeter A-7D/E in 1:32. Then I'll buy the whole package from them. It's not going to be cheap: probably £200 of ResKit gear to correct and enhance a £100 Trumpeter offering. But the Trumpeter wing's okay — with ResKit pylons added.

Now I can build the thing, though Screaming Toad Models is apparently doing a full cockpit upgrade.... Tony T and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
