Bought this kit also. Love it, beautiful detail but I am a Trumpeter kit lover with mainly heavy transport vehicles.

Nice review, such a big cool subject!

I agree with you, I think the su 27 Flanker is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever.

Greetings from the U.S.

Thanks for the review Nigel. Been wondering myself on this kit. I would not have expected this to have the detailed engine for one thing. Looks like you definitely got your money's worth in styrene and building time ahead!

Nigel + I agree with you this is a modeling channel not a political channel keep it about model kits there are channels for political talk tell them to go to those channels god bless and stay safe

love your work us hardcore modelers know why you are making this kit...the wait is ova lol..thank you

Thanks for the review Nigel! I've been looking forward to this thing for so long - sort of want to design and 3D print a scale missile to go with it.

Nigel, What a great looking model. I always enjoy your content. Can't wait till you start the build. But till them I will enjoy your other videos.

Great video my friend what a fantastic kit and review looks a really detailed kit definitely gonna be a impressive display piece yes I agree about trumpeter they are one of the best at packaging will look forward to seeing you build it thanks for sharing 👍👍

Hi Nigel, Thanks for the great review. This looks like such a cool kit. I have the Dragon MAZ-543 Tel with the Scud in my stash. It is no where nearly as detailed as this kit. I'll be looking forward to seeing it built. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff

Looking forward to seeing you build this one Nigel

Mine arrived today from Germany it is indeed a beast

I've recently built their DF-21 Ballistic Missile Launcher. Amazing model.

ME TO I LIKE THEIR AIR DEFENCE SYSTEMS

Cold launch and it’s a massive kit. Very nice indeed.

Thanks a lot for this interesting review ! I noted the useful tip about the MRP paint for the tyres.

Can't wait to see you building that nige it looks a right beast

People don’t complain about the plethora of Tigers, Panthers, etc that are built on most channels, machines from one of the most evil regimes ever, so why be worried about this one? I build almost exclusively Russian machines because to me they are more interesting, and for no other reason.

A nice kit and interesting subject nigel. I like the Russian T55 brilliant bit of soviet kit.

Great review Nigel, if memory serves when I built the Scud the chassis and suspension were the devil to align properly - this could be on a whole new level of nightmare if you got it wrong. As for the right cab, I think the unit commander sits at the front with the weapons tech sitting behind him during transport.

Thank you for another excellent review.

In my wish list, good stuff Nigel

I'd have thought they would have needed seatbelts, they'll have been Russian all over the place. WAHEYYYY. Great review, looks a fantastic kit, worth your long wait for it. Enjoy.

Vwey good review! Thank you.

I have a soft spot for modern Russian armour as well . As for paint schemes , AK real colour do a modern Russian paint set and they’re spot on colour wise

I’ve seen a lot of Russian military equipment back in 98 when I was there and couldn’t believe the condition of some of these units most where rundown but still in service

Can you please do a walk around of the kits you have built in the past. Thanks.

The suspension on this model is a nightmare. Whoever designed this kit could have did a better job. All to make the parts count higher. I made it to this part, seen the nightmare and put the kit away to probably never touch it again!

Nigel you need to build this and do video excellent review

Only about 300 kilometers from me. If I see one I will snap a pic ;)

And I can agree, that russians have interesting machines. Trumpeter and HobbyBoss are ones that make them. Like the KET-T recovery vehicle based on MAZ 537 or BTM - 3 trench digger based on AT-T tractor and so on. They have many speciality vehicles for many things, and I have not seen something like that for USA or England. Maybe because russians habe so diverse treain that requires special aproach.

Hi Nigel. Great video as always! Just one comment on your remark that Trumpeter listens to customers. Maybe they do for military vehicles and aircraft but not 1/700 ships. They stopped producing full hulls in 2018 and in spite of a great uproar to give us the option of full hull as well as waterline ship models they've turn a deaf ear.

Dasha Models have said that they are waiting for it to be history before marking models with "Z", as she sees doing it now as political, waiting simply makes it a rendering of history. Seems fair.

Looks great Nigel. A bit pricey for me. I wouldn't mind getting the Scud Launcher Vehicle they do. When I can afford to buy one lol.

Chunks out of clear parts are very topical for me nige,I've just noticed both sprue gates have been knocked off one of the upper turret halves where there is no frame to play with. So annoying.

first i agree with your comments (getting it off my chest) this will be on my wish list i am going to Telford are you going ?

Dragon had SCUD with Maz TEL in 1/35 years ago.

Great review its grat to see something i'll never get, just don't have the room

So a simple afternoon build.

I'm like you Nigel I actually have a soft spot for some Soviet military vehicles like their subs my favorite movie is "hunt for the Red October" ! but in no way do I support their ideology or what is going on between the two countries at the moment and you were saying something about their aircraft with paint chipping off it's actually because they don't take care of their toys look at their fleet of subs the are death traps leaking radioactive ooze I watched a documentary and they actually have a couple other countries coming in to help deal with their decommissioned subs.... they just don't take care and maintain their expensive equipment .. Awesome video my friend!

I scratch built a Topol-M some 9 years before Trumpeter released it.Mine is also in 1/35.

Got mine for .209 euro from a shop in The Netherlands.

Looks very cool. I’m loving these medium kits from trumpeter. Im working on their BR-86 right now. Take a look at my video if you like. I would love to know what you think. Thanks for showing.

any chance of some resin wheels and tyres!

ps i will be displaying at Wolverhampton and Wombourne

Can we get the link for ebay seller, please???

Thumps up to you Nigel, is just a plastic kit review that has nothing with he actual circumstances, rusophobia comments are not welcome and discarded

'wow' kit. But I personally have allergy on anything russian 🤮

Having a military isn't in and of itself a good guy or bad guy endeavor of nations. As for the war, I hate it. NATO allowed an 8 years war in Ukraine to go from bad to worse, and Putin is risking more Russian security than he stands to gain with any victory. Other than that political stuff I love these nuclear missile transporters, I wish I could drive one. 👩‍🎨 More information about this weapon: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKiPeqV8ztvLoI0.html
