Linden Hill Imports

Amodel (Kyiv, Ukraine) produce a broad line of short-run injection-molded kits. The surface detail is good with engraved panel lines and injection-molded canopies. Decals are included and usually feature at least two options.

INTRODUCING AMODEL'S NEW LIMITED EDITION SOVIET 'HEAVIES' SERIES:

Amodel's new kit series will features some of the larger aircraft of Soviet aviation in 1/72 scale injection-molded plastic and fibre-glass composite plastic. All kits are limited edition and don't come cheap. 

 Although Ukraine has apparently adopted the Euro as its export currency (dumping the US dollar and Rouble), which means major dollar-denominated price increases, you'll still benefit from substantial savings by pre-ordering. Remember that the first run (with fresh molds) of Amonster kits are reserved for export only via IBG Poland,  the sole licensed distributor and our long-time business partner.

Now Available for Preorder:

BTS-02 Soviet Space Shuttle (AMONSTER 027P: $175)

In stock:

AMO 72177 Kh-20M stand-off missile complex (US$16.99)

A most intriguing kit, and surprisingly big. The Kh-20M/Tu-95 weapon complex was designed with Armageddon in mind, the missile being able to carry a 3MT thermonuclear warhead.

Here's a Kh-20M at the Dyaglyevo Air Base Long-Range Aviation Museum, underneath a Tu-95K 'mother ship'.

A lovely little kit, which features not only a dolly, but also a weapons pylon for the Trumpeter Tu-16K kit (or the Modelist Tu-4?). The decal sheet also features some oversized red bort numbers, which, I suspect are designed for a Tu-16 (or a Tu-4?). We'll try to confirm the decal usage with Amodel soonest.
