Are these all the same mold?..
They sell for different prices
That is Zvezda 20Euros, Revell 18, Italeri 11 the mig 13 the su-27.
Italeri Su27 is raised panel lines, most propably it is Zvezda mold…
Can anyone confirm…?
I know that Italeri did issue a bunch of kits from Eastern companies molds right after Socialism ended as sort of a way for those companies to break into Western markets.
I don’t know if the Italeri SU-27 is from Zvezda molds, but it could be. Italeri did issue a Zvezda 1/72 MiG-27 in the early 90s.
I doubt very much that the Revell kit would be related to either the Zvezda or Italeri issues. If its the Revell kit I’m thinking of, it was issued in the late 80s along with a kit of a 1/72 MiG-31. They were quite thouroghly marketed as the first Western made models of either type, accordingly, its been said that both kits had a lot of innacuracies as the Iron Curtain was still up when they were made, so there was some guesswork in designing the kits.
The Su-27 from Italeri is defiinitely their own mold and it’s definitely not the best Su-27 out there either.
