? It does not stay sharp in the kit part either. It is very much curvy after the tail mounting point. I put the picture to highlight the "edge" of the rear fuselage which has been the main point of the discussion, no? I actually think the lighting is great to show the edge.

Your reference picture is not a great one due to lens distortion. Look how the circular exhaust look :) what is wrong with the fuel dump? missing a hole? This is an ok picture for rear shape. I think AMK attempt is alright.

wow, airbus dislike is palpable here 🙂 lol.

Breath :)

Apparently it can be attached to other pylons and, if the load is symmetric, it can be carrying 4 of them: Dont think is is ECM pods. Can it be laser/tv guidance related? Very interesting.

Sorry for aggressive language BUT GWH's intake's being under scale is complete BS. They are perfect. If you mean intake "trunks" being too skinny then maybe but they invisible once the kit is build. There is nothing wrong with the overall shape and curves on GWH either. When it comes to details GWH beats anything out there. However, it has two flaws (nothing is perfect): 1) Horizontal tails are too thick. Hasegawa ones are thinner (more accurate for the thickness) but they lack reinforcing plates hence detail that GWH has. 2) Exhaus

What are the things attached to intake pylons:

I have built GWH C and J and did *not* use any putty at all. Fit was great. Maybe somehow you had a lemon. About GWH vs Academy since I never had an academy one so my comment will be just about GWH. I think it is one of the best kits out there. At the same level with kinetic Su-33, AMK Mig-31 and tamiya f-14. If money is not an issue, go with GWH F-15 + KA models exhausts. They are work of art.

wow, this is great. Both models are awesome. I want to build these too but too lazy for conversion. 🙂 I have hope that Great Wall hobby will come up with some of these flanker variants.

their F-16s were the product of their "older" design/production standards. Since the Su-33 release they up'ed their game. F-18 came more recently so yes I agree that their F-18s are great looking too. Just saw them in the box, cannot commend on their fit but details look great. Very sharp.

Hi KEB, shipping wont be an issue. BUT, I realized the wingtip pylons I have are from Kinetic Su-33. I can still ship them if you want to use them on the Su-35. They are very similar. Here is the picture of what I have:

One thing to note, PS770 is heavier than infinity. I like this feature of it too but some may not. I seriously dislike infinity trigger. I assigned it for just general coverage stuff with .4mm needle 😄

I may help you out. PM your zip code to me. I will check the shipping.

That is the *correct* option to go with.

I *really* like my PS770 from Mr. Hobby. 0.18mm. It is better than my infinity 100%. Infinity triggers are flimsy. I think it is also better than Iwata Hi-line HP-CH which was my go to for many years.

I love ghost in the shell. So I feel you! 😉

In an alternate universe, it is F-23 killer. LOL :) I would love to park it next to my YF-23 model. It is supposed to be almost as big as that one. It had cool engines too:

All in 1/48, not in particular order:

What is this list? A wish list or rumors of the kits under development by Great Wall Hobby?

I have their Su-33/J-15. They are great.

We should have 1/48 Ka-52 and Mi-28 by now... Lazy model companies..!

I found smt to celebrate tomorrow 😉

15? wow. I had no idea that many produced. I thought the couple were just Su-27 converts. I had no idea there was production line for the type. Anyhow this is the one I would love build. I wanted to use a kietic su-33+academy su-27 etc and make a conversion but didn't dare to start 🙂

Hoping for an eventual Great Wall Hobby one. If you look at their F-15 and Mig-29 models, they go for the *whole* family and do not shy to have new molds! :) This was the main reason for my excitement when I heard their Su-35 release. I knew we will at least get vanilla Su-27. We will have our 1/48 canard flanker. Well, we have the Su-33/J-15 but in addition to those 😉 Actually, the most desirable one for me is the "old" Su-35, single seat canard one. It had I think 2 examples build. One in desert camo the other one in blue. I would love to build that one.

I got this 🙂
