Zvezda

[Rick Lowe]

Hmm, I've got fond memories of a RNZAF 757 being flung around the sky in a surprisingly aerobatic display at Washington airshow. I'm sure someone will do the decals at some stage, might get one.

ok, i will try to keep politics out of the way as much as i can with this question, so please remove if it seems unfitting.

first question:

with what is going on in the Ukraine, and countries now boycotting anything Russian on the market, how will this influence the availability of Zvezda's kit in mainland Europe (or anywhere else in the world for that matter)?

Second (and edit or remove if seemed unfit):

i myself have started boycotting Zvezda.
its not due to the quality, they are still in my opinion one of the best kitmakers out there, but for warcrimes theyre country is guilty of (the war, the bombing of a maternity hospital, tageting civilians...). and as Zvezda is a state owned company, i dont want to back a warmonger.

To answer the first part of your question Nils. Any Zveda kit that you purchase from a European seller will already have been bought and paid for by the retailer so all you are doing is helping them recoup their costs. I would of thought it unlikely that retailers will be able to replenish their stocks by purchasing direct from Zveda however. So on that basis I would have thought that as time passes their kits will become more and more difficult to source.

As for the second part. I personally have no problem with your point of view and the position you have taken and for the time being that is all I'm going to say. I must admit I'm just going to keep a watching brief on the whole issue for the time being and just hope that member's common sense and general decency prevails over what could be a very difficult subject.
