I am also confused now...

It was added today it seems

Not sure why it was removed, but it is not a fake. Trumpeter announced the kit in their 2020/2021 catalogue. It is on page 40.

Cool!

Thomas K.
o my god! Who have the place for this monster! It is in 1/72 already huge!😉

Ingo F
Yeah Thomas, the 1/72 is about 31cm long. I guess for this one you will need about 70+ cm space. 😄

Steven Van Dyck
That means, if erected then the height would be also 70 cm. Now imagine somebody building it with a rocket leaving the tube.

Thomas Wirsching
One is for sure: with all the aftermarket stuff for it you will get poor

@Steven: Two years ago i had an mad idea to scale up the Zvezda kit to 1:35 and scratchbuild it. Glad that i droped it after i found out how much space i need for it. 😄

The topol-M is even slightly longer than the first generation topol of the zvedna kit..

I added it both times. It's in Trumpeter's 2021 catalogue. When I first added it, someone changed the photo to the fake one from a few years ago. I didn't re-add the listing until now because I didn't know about the fake listing from before, and thought maybe Trumpeter cancelled the project.

Steven Van Dyck
So they don't have a box-art yet? The fake one seemed doubtful because it didn't focus on one TEL, like a Trumpeter box would. I also wonder if there is any news about the Famo plans they had last year.

Ingo F
As usual, Trumpeter put some real pictures as a placeholder for the box-art.

Michael Valentan
In the catalog they already have a boxart. and i will get one of this cool Vehicle...saw it years ago for real in St. Petersburg and fell in love...

Steven Van Dyck
Apparently it's being packed today, so it will probably arrive on my doorstep next week!

Ingo F
Will watch your build with interest. Maybe someday i will have enough space to build one but for now i will go with the 1/72 scale. 😄

Oh, look, there's a video review of this kit now on youtube, apparently.

Steven Van Dyck
I watched it, but it seems an edited version of Youtube Video. In that film you see the author reviewing the dedicated resin wheels kit from Mazhor Models, which you see only in a glimpse in the Scalemates version. This is a Russian company. Therefore I wonder if such a set would become available at all.
