Mr Matt Foley

I would love to have new tool Flankers. Especially the later variants like the SM, Su-30 (I'll take a side of canards with that order) Su-33 et.al. Early Flankers would be great "beaters" to weather up and show airframe age. I would also like to to build one with the markings of the "privately owned" Flanker(s) sometimes seen flying in the skies of Nevada in mock dogfights with the USAF.............secret stuff.

You're right Mark. At 1/48 I think the best way to simulate the fiber might be with paint. I don't believe it could be replicated in a mold process. They are beautiful nonetheless like all of them. Amazing detail.

WORD! When you can buy them like that (I bought mine on Amazon) you you'd be a fool to buy the small packs marketed on Hobby Store sites.

Same here.....I know....patience.....

Yeah, I'm not much for the nozzles either. I bought the Amigo offering, but....I'll find use for them later...maybe.

You Bettcha! Also, it was my understanding that the brass parts from Kitty Hawk were to come with the Version 2.0 of the Su-34 Kit. No word from Song or others on when that might be. They're popping out some pics now of the Mirage 2000 molds. Hope to see that by summers end.

Yeah, I've been following Mike's build on Britmodeller. That's where I first saw them. I do have a set of the brass ones from G factor but they do not include the front gear. Very nice legs though. On another topic the guys at The Modelling News just posted a continuation of their Kitty Hawk build today as well!

They sold 2 sets and pulled the listing!

I'll take story one Andreas. But, I also feel that when you look at the history of Hobbico, they made some poor decisions in some of their acquisitions and over extended themselves. I can only hope that the employees who own(ed) the company received something for their stock.

Thanks. I did receive a message from Mike Valdez this morning so I think I'll be able to buy what he has in stock.

Just had my email bounce back when I tried to email Curt at SHM. I'm afraid I may be outta luck. Shame, nice product line and I will never head out to the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia for a show.

Thanks Guys. I just tried to purchase and although it went into a shopping cart, I cannot complete the transaction for some reason. No checkout screen. I've email Sierra Hotel before and never got a response. They're always out of stock too. I'll try emailing again. Thanks

Sweet! Looking forward to my copy!

Very nice Chuck! I'm a Nikon diehard and shoot a D750. I'm coming up on retirement in a couple years, I have my eye set on a Z-7 as a gift for myself.

Suffice it to say, I should stick with Trumpeter if I want to build a big superbug?
