And the white box ones too. It's not like they churn everything in their catalogue 24/7. Some products go out of stock don't resume production for a period but eventually they come back. I build 1/72 and their Su-33 and Su-35 appeared as discontinued on japanese stores not too long ago, for around a year but then they came back.

On the next page on the thread flankerman posted a series of pictures of a MiG-25 airframe and you can see clear the curvature of those couple of panels.

It's not the belly. It's how the sides gradual transition from flat aft of the wheel wells to round at the rear end in the real plane. While KH kit remains flat all the way down to the strakes and sharply transition to round. I already posted an image and explanation in the original KH MiG-25 Thread. On the posted image, there's a panel line on the red line, below it shaded in red that area those panels are curved in the real plane while KH that area is flat.

167, 168 and 169. set 47301/46301 are for the Su-27, and although it also mentions Su-35 I think it's referring to the Su-35 (T-10M) prototypes, not the in service Su-35S.

2-3 times the cost of the Kitty Hawk kit for the C2D intakes? Sell the kitty hawk kit, buy the ICM one and you'd still have money for the XMM corrected intakes, not that they are necessary if you aren't a rivet counter. And you'd have a better fit and overall better shape accuracy.

In the almost 20 years I've been a HLJ customer I've had payment problems, packages lost, damaged items, lost items, missing parts, estimated shipping cost problems, etc. All have been solved in due time by a few clicks on their customer support section and typing a message to explain your problem. If you had time to ask questions here, you'd have time use the customer support on the HLJ site to explain the problem. I don't know if this will help. their shipping cost estimations are based on the measurements/weight of the items and/or their combined totals stacked, in their databas

There are a couple reviews and builds where they say 50/50 mix of Gunze Sangyo H25 Sky Blue and H46 Emerald Green is the perfect match for the eduard prepainted photoetch. That mix was tested by another fellow modeller to be a match.

And how people forget even a big company like Trumpeter took them a decade to finally release their Intruder....

I got two Su-34 and they too have the same problem. That problem is with the multi-part molds not lining up. How bad it is depends on the company and how they design their molds, with KH it happens often, Trumpeter/HB sometimes depending on the kit, while others like GWH and AMK it is barely noticeable or hide it between panel lines.

The History Channel that today teaches people that any and every technological, cultural and creative thing humans have done was directly or telepathically taught to us by Aliens. 😉

Besides the outer thicker fairing/conduit on one side and not on the other. The ends of the fairings on the real thing are rounded, while KH's resin are flat ended.

Actually they have their own website and store. http://www.amigomodels.ru/product/hibinyi-m-48150/ I have bought directly from them although they're a bit slow to process and ship orders.

The Dude mention he used Akan set 47325, which is the set for Su-27SM prior to 2013. The set they indicate for the current scheme on Su-27SM, Su-30SM, Su-35S and Yak-130 is 47332.

I've seen the Su-17 correction as well as both su-34 ones. The resin casting isn't a problem, it's really good. I think it stems from the masters not being as refined, both su-34 sets are based on the kit parts, the clean up is good but some of the modifications, rescribing and riveting are not consistent.

It is pointing out the size of the tubes are tiny in the KH sample. In the baidu thread there's a conparison photo where you see the diameter of the tubes of the real pod.

The thing is there are at least two or maybe three versions of the dual ejectors. I've seen the ones on the Su-33 which don't have the central beam and hung from two stub pylons. Like this ones Then there's another one for the Su-34/35 Advanced Modeling already has a resin one, and the center portion is a single piece pylon. As seen on the resin and photos real one from their site. http://www.amigomodels.ru/product/balka48005/ And the one on your pic has a straight rear end which looks like the ones on the Su-33, but with t

The bottom test print seems to be average for that kind of stuff at 7", the second one is big at 8". And the last one is monstrous, just too big in girth and length. Oh wait, you telling me this wasn't some NSFW forum I entered by mistake? ;)

Having built the Zvezda Yak-130 and how nicely engineered it is, albeit a little bit over-engineered for a 1/72, I can see it upscaled for 1/48 with some additional details like positionable flaps and slats and easily beat anything Sh!tty Hawk can come up with.

As seen from the pictures available on the web and begemot's decal instructions and even Akan's paint set for 902 it's clear there are two tones of 'medium gray' between upper and lower fuselage, the lighter tone one on the lower. KH incorrectly assumes it's one single medium gray all around, and also assumes the 'dark gray' is a 'dark blue' due to the color/white balance of most 902 pictures.

They don't know better or they don't care? Because from a lot of their mistakes and I'll put their A-6 kit as an example I think it's more like they don't give an F. There's "OHN F. KENNEDY" on the decal sheet, and comically the decal placement instructions for that same option say something something on the John F. Kennedy Carrier in text and right next below there's the picture profile with the same "OHN F. KENNEDY" plastered on its side.

Well here is a photo of selected bottles of Akan I've bought over the years and you can see the size change. From left to right 73069 from the Su-27 set from Armory from Ukraine in 2010 73165 and 73170 from I-modelist from Russian late 2016- early 2017 73170 from I-modelist mid 2017 73166 from I-modelist nov 2017. As you can see from their numbers they're acrylic ones. Second photo same order and you can see on the lower right corner of the label for the 3 bigger ones 15mL and the two on the right 10mL

I buy Akan acrylics directly from Russia and they've reduced their bottle sizes down to 10mL since early last year. Even on their own site the photos of their newest sets and colors show them in 10mL bottles now. I think LindenHill in the USA as distributor still get the 15mL ones.

Don't know if they'll make a new set for the Su-35 in the future, but I just recently bought their old Su-27 set 47301 and now they've added that's also for the Su-35 on the card. edit: And looking back it was already there on another set I bought for someone in august. Maybe they even did it since KH's Su-35 release?

For small packets the three dimensions added must not exceed 90cms (largest dimension must not exceed 60cm) and weight less than 2kg. Kinetic's Su-33 measures 47x30x8.6cm. That adds up to 85.6 cm for only the kit box and adding a packing box barely enough to contain it might just be under or exceed that 90cm limit. We have to see the size of GWH's box size to judge which shipping charges are correct.

Dunno after looking at his post count most of which have been about the tinted canopy and reminding the world he's been a victim of "Gabor's vicious comments", can we consider him a troll?
