I don't understand why it was necessary to add this information to the site. what's the point of releasing a model when revell released his an-225 model in 1/144. Most large amodel models are for advanced modelers with great patience.

So after Revell and Zvezda Amodel will be the 3rd manufacturer of the same plane and probably whole kit. The question is: which comany will bring the (Ark?) Buran on its shoulders?

NazgulIv
There will not be any third manufacturer. These were the old plans of 2011, which will never be implemented. Zvezda only repacked the plastic of revell, and according to information in a rather limited amount. One of our local stores added for pre-order: resin wheels, masks, photo-etching. And whoever has a club card of this store received, a fastening for Buran on top of Mria made of resin, and the Ark Buran itself. But they do not want to sell them separately.

Hi NazgulIv! So only two manufacturers: Revell (=Zvezda) + Amodel and the combination of Buran on top of Mryja is only a specialty of a single store in a very limited edition. So lets wait till one of the card owners brings the combination into the bay...

There is some discussion about 3D printed Buran mounts here: groups.io/g/space-mo..ky,,,20,2,0,79486578

It seems that ARMA makes resin mounts to piggyback the Buran the AN-225, but they only sell it as a part of their 'pro kit' which incorporates the resin mounts & wheels, paint masks and photoetch details along with the Zvezda 7035 kit.

I've emailed ARMA to ask if they would sell the resin separately. Based on NazgulIv's post, I'm not the first to ask. Hopefully they change their mind.
