soviet kit ??? Did I miss something in the news today ?

The next steps to be realized can be found in the editorial of Aug Info . Reissue of L-39 (72nd?), late Zero, Mezek, Mustang III/P-51/B/C, Su-25K (scale&brand ??). Missed out is a Me 262 / S-92.

Just arrived from mn-modelar (I was on the lucky side). The minor irritation above the insert mold line is easy to be worked on. But it indicates that the decision for series-production was taken in hurry after the announcement of the competing other kits. What does the insert line in this place mean ?

Solution ?? : Eduard or Begemot or Quinta or others make a 3D resin decal for the tail-boom only. I think this can easily retail for far less than € 10.- .

trade hinges could be Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey, Cyprus, Israel, India, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Southkorea. I think the list can be expanded. But the retail price will easily double.

yes, it WAS. (container departure delays from China are now up to 12 weeks, I was said). Will let you know more if I get reliable information.

Mission (acrylics) has a rather well working RAL 9006 Weißaluminium.

Will the model come with a turned metal (brass) pitot ?

Well, that really works. I had ordered the UB last Monday and had asked for an extra GP80-163 for the single seater before ordering. The kit arrived on Friday and indeed included this little extra. With some (delicate) surgery these parts can be used on the KH Su-35. BTW, I asked about the Su-25 which is on pre-order at Hobby Easy. I was said that it might come in August.

#KH 80-168 Su-27 UB: only one clear sprue GP 80-168, for center IRST, no cut out in front glazing 2x #weapon_2 sprue with R-27 (several variants),R-73, R-77, R-60 decals for 11 different a/c -- #KH 80-169 Su-30 MK: two clear sprues: #GP 80-168 (see above) and #GP80-163 for Su-27SM right side IRST with cut out in front glazing no weapon sprue decals for 6a/c -- lower fuselage halves show close relation to that of the Su-35 kit, but they are NOT identical, heavily reworked the single seater clear parts #GP80-163 do fit

I hate self-referential commenting but this time it might make sense. My posting on BM from yesterday : Just arrived (20 minutes ago): #80169 Su-30MK, ordered on 06/07/2020 (Monday this week) via ebay.com, offering from sophili-98 (KH directly), delivered with FedEx International Priority. VERY first impression: ususal booklet with 32 pages, 3 decal sheets (<markings,<stencils,<weapon load for #KH80163 -unused-), NO external stores!!, only wing katamaran weapon carrier. 2 clear sprues , one for twinseater, one for single seater (have to check if identical w

Have fun with this one!

and the second question......... (pecunia non olit, but it does not grow in the garden)

Subito!

A nice touch for the model would be to include a turned brass pitot into the kit !

Well, still works, had a ... ...reply on FB: -release this year -J-15 will come
