Welcome
As you remember, in October we announced the imminent release of the decals HERE
D..119 Su-22UM-3K „707" Tiger 2017
A minor mistake we made at the time was the statement that the project finished to Kitty Hawk in 1/48 scale will require minor corrections to the Modelsvit model in 1/72 after rescaling, which can be done quickly. This is basically the only reason for the delay, because unfortunately we had to develop all the main elements from the begining, which of course extended the project once again.
In the meantime, the 1/48 scale pre-print also arrived, which also revealed a few more minor faults to fix.
As of today, all the main elements in both scales are already developed and partially prepared for printing. A sheet with stencils is ready, and an additional one with black tiger stripes is being prepared for printing.
We decided to make the last test print in both scales and check the fit of the decal on the model. This should be around mid-January and then expect another newsletter about it.
To the question, "So when?" we will deliberately not provide an answer, each subsequent term we provide, even conditionally, meets with enthusiasm on your part, and then with bitterness because "something" crossed it out. We can see a lot of emotions, because there are threats and demands for a free sheet as compensation for the long wait. As a consolation, we will say that this is not a dish for a long time, and we count the time to print in weeks, not months. Instead of giving further dates, we will try to inform you as often as possible about further progress.
Taking advantage of the fact that the theme of this set is popular among you and we are sure many are reading this, we would like to wish you all the best in the coming 2023. Traditionally, dreams come true, health and a lot of money, but also that the coming year will be calmer than the passing one. We sincerely wish all Ukrainians peace and a speedy expulsion of the ruthless aggressor from their lands.
The New Year we will start from announcement of few sets which are in progress now.
With best wishes
ModelMaker Team
