Buran?
Posted by Kugai on Sunday, February 17, 2008 10:31 PM
Anyone out there know where I can find kits of the Russian shuttle?  I remember there being a few variants available some years ago but I haven't seen any available recently.

I don't know of any full kits currently available, but AModel has announced a 1/72 scale version:

They certainly already have the molds for the fuselage, because there's a version of the Myasishchev VM-T Atlant kit that includes it:

Hope this helps,

I've got an unmade 1:288 scale Buran and launcher by STC Start (?) in the attic. Looks a good wee kit.  Want it?

If you're not afraid of cardmodeling, there is a great (and not hideously complicated) 1/96th-scale Buran and Energia available here:

Here are some photos of my build-up of the model:

I did begin the Start kit a while ago, but I gave up due to the mistakes I made. I suppose I could resume it, and try to finish it.Alien [alien]
