Hello everyone,

Right now I want to acquire a mobile missile system and I was looking at the two models of the title.

I want to ask if someone has both models, to tell us which one has better quality, which one is bigger etc.

In general, if one could get one of these two models which one is better to have (strictly quality criteria and not theme)

Thank you
Frenchy

Here's a build log of the Topol :

and some discussion about the Scud (it appears that this kit is based on the 1/35th scale Dragon one...) :

Welcome back Alexander! I reviewed the TOPOL here and have been slowly assembling it here on Armorama. I have seen the SCUD kit and in my humble opinion, the TOPOL is both bigger and more detailed. For my evaluation of the TOPOL just click on the SS-25 Review. For my partial Blog of the assembly of the chassis, just go to SS-25 BLOG.

Cheers,
Jan

Hi Alexander,

I was build a Topol last year and Henry give a link for review from miniafv. Thank you Henry :
( also there are some page about construction and completed model in miniafv ) if you want this kit, you must find after market detail set.
Because some details are very poor.

My friend Hakan Karli bought Scud ( Toxso ) but not completed and no photos. He said , Toxso kit is very nice.

Best regards

Erhan

PS : I bought Armo Scud kit ( resin kit ) but the parts are need need cleaning. If you want a Scud you must prefer plastic kit (Toxso)

Thank you for all the answers.

Model collect is about to launch a Scud model soon so I guess it's Topol for now.

Henri-Pierre,

Many thanks for providing the functional links. I saw your note earlier but wasn't able to act on it. It appears that the URL was pasted twice into each code link.

Thanks again,
Jan
