1/72 Russian Weapons sets

Product Article by Ken Duffey in 2005

 

 

 

I have been sent some new resin weapons sets to review.
These are a new set of resin castings of modern Russian weapons. They are all superbly cast, free of air bubbles and with precise engraved panel detail where appropriate.
The thinness on such items as the missile fins has to be seen to be believed.
All the sets come in a sealed poly bag mounted on a cardboard backing sheet. Inside the bag is an instruction sheet - printed in English and Russian with a brief
but comprehensive description of the weapon and a colour guide  - (which quotes FS numbers where appropriate).

They are being produced in association with Ru.Modelism  

On looking at these new weapons sets, one is immediately struck by the superb casting and excellent presentation   - these are quality products.

The list of releases is quite comprehensive - with more to come..........
