I've found a pic..  Nice model but hey! It seems to be in black instead of dark blue.

Another interesting model from Cada. Unfortunately, Cada stopped publishing instructions for top models and removed previously published ones. For now, I will assemble according to the instructions of Lego, MOC, Mould King and other Chinese manufacturers whose instructions are available.

In this model, we are pleased with the absence of continuous masonry from brick systems - which Cada loves so much in the latest models (La Ferrari, etc.). I like their Fantasma better for the large number of mechanisms (more than 100 gears) - even if they don’t always work as intended.

Just buy them from rebrickable.

It is like this for months...and not only for JCB Excavator...

I gotta say after the C61042W and 42115 Sian (I own both) this is the first 1/8 scale in years that I liked.

This guy seems to be a TLG fan; not a CADA over-enthusiast and he said, “nice.”

The model seems very sturdier. After watching several P1 reviews I feel better 😊 Also, the plaque looks cool.

IMHO they should have made unique tyres/wheels for this beauty. It feels they just stole my C61042w ones and put them in, but not a big deal.
Good job CADA 🫡

I got an email from CaDA saying they are having a 20% off sale on selected items. Haven't gone to the site yet to see what they are offering though.

Wow now cada has released a nasa space shuttle

[icm]

It's mostly a knockoff of the 3-in-1 Lego Creator space shuttle from 2021.

Nothing but a baseless comment. You can clearly notice by looking at just one image each that both designs do not have much in common.

Yes, show all these copied details!

[icm]

Ok, I've taken another look - it's not an exact copy, but it's close enough to Lego models that I wouldn't be surprised if it was copied, then altered enough to be different.

The roof and rear wall of the crew cabin are very similar to those from Lego 41713 Olivia's Space Academy from 2022. Also the nose cone and the side walls of the cabin, and the angles, size, construction, and detailing of the wings, and the use of a single simple part for the tail fin.

The cargo bay doors are nearly identical to those from Lego 31117 Space Shuttle Adventure from 2021.

The OMS pods are different than the OMS pods on either the Friends or Creator shuttles.

The model of the Hubble Space Telescope in the CADA kit is lightly modified from Lego 21312 Women of NASA from 2017.

The CADA set comes with a big display stand, which is a common device used by Chinese companies to differentiate their kits from the Lego kits they are inspired by. Another Chinese company (the fourth image in this post) has copied the Creator shuttle. They gave it a great big stand and aft module to differentiate their kit, but the base shuttle is almost identical.

A space shuttle is a pretty generic shape, so it's going to be hard for anyone to be truly unique after the first one, IMO.

True. Especially at this small scale, there's only so many ways to build a space shuttle.

Fiat abarth 131 rally car is now available on cada site also with 5L ball link and electronic splitter. I bought 1 fiat, splitter and 10 5L link.
Now I need ball to pin connector.

Ok, now I have to get the RX-7 after all. The product pics didn't show how awesome it was in reality. Thanks for the review @thekoRngear.
The Space Shuttle is a good deal if those are all printed parts you can see. Too bad it comes with a tensegrity stand, because you can only display it like this.

But what happened with the pricing of those 200 piece-ish small NASA display models? Almost surpassing LEGO ppp.

Maybe talk to @ArtemyZotov directly or watch his video: MAZDA RX-7 VeilSide Fortune

[Plumber]

Designed round this part which Cada developed to get round wave shifter copying issues with input from people on this forum (Efferman? others?)

https://decadastore.com/products/cada-gearbox-jq9016

[efferman]

I had no input on this Part.

[Plumber]

@effermanSorry my mistake , would have sworn I remembered you discussing it.
