Does any body have good shot of the inside of a Su-27 intake? Especially showing the color demarcation lines? I have heard/read that its the underside color then turns to a natural metal area that has a yellowish colored clear coat over that natural metal area. Hard to find a good pic.

What he said!

A much easier and better paint to airbrush with that has far finer pigments and just lays down easier. Its not that much more that Model Master.

Why? The current acrylic lacquers are far superior.

Do we have a date for release yet?

MRP has a nice metals range.

Thread Hijack Alert!! What is a good reference book on the SU-27 from a modelers point of view? Similar to a Detail & Scale Showing wheel wells cockpits and other items modelers care about? I have the Yefim Gordon volume. But while thats a great history book it isn't the best from a modelers point of view. Thanks in advance!

Is there any way we can get a closer /higher res images of the five schemes that are included? I know there were some images from the show last week but they were kinda small. Thanks in advance!

How close are we to release? Also do you anticipate any shipping issues due to pandemic? Looking forward to this kit!

Thanks!! I forgot about that I have a few on the stash shelf!

Just as the title suggests, does anyone make 48th scale Falcon launchers for a F-4? Bought the Meng A/A missile set and they are pretty nice and it might make a interesting switch from AIM-9s for the upcoming ZM F-4E

Ya-Gabor, could you please ask the team to include MRP paint codes in the instructions? Please! Thanks!

I ordered a set of Photo etch and some masks and it took less than 2 weeks, I was surprised! However the set of decals I ordered from Russia are still sitting in a Moscow mail center ::-(

The reason why Kitty Hawk is called Shitty hawk is because they CONSTANTLY make easily avoidable mistakes with their aircraft kits. Its really great that they are going to provide the other windshield if you write them, that is really commendable. But you shouldn't have to do that. Also how can a company in the 21st century make the errors on the intake tunnel? Very simple the people that do the molding and packaging have NO IDEA on what they are doing. KH needs to get some on in on the production end that knows a modicum of the subject that can oversee production and avoid these simple

Nobody sad it was the wrong scale they just wanted one in 48th scale as well as the 72nd one.

Can't we have both??

Just wish it was 48th scale!!😀😀

One of the pluses I see is that the kit comes with both of the IRST housings one for the earlier Su-27P and the newer and/or reworked Su-27SM version. KItty Hawk Su-27 IRST Housing

Do we know what markings are going to be included in the kit?

Are we talking the MER with 6 bombs on it? Or the TER with 3 bombs ? One of the things I learned is never say never when it comes to what is and what should be, I will have to go over my T.O.s when I get home from work. Only think I could think of is the Bentwaters had a crapton of MERS from its F-4 days and maybe had an exemption for BDU-33's. Fun Fact, TERS on A-10's were just to be used for training and you were to leave them home when you went to war. Well as we know MB and EL used TERS during Desert Storm with Mk-82's and some CBU's. So out goes that "rule"

MERS were never carried on operational A-10's just during the initial testing with the prototypes.

Terry, I am so sorry to read this. Please accept my sincere condolences.

I wonder if you check the MSDS for those if you could tell if they are the same?
