The overall looking of the "bathtube".
-
The cockpit area is finished.
Check out how everything looks like, out of box!
First, the K-36DM ejection seat.
-
Now here comes the colour recipe for small parts.
I painted them by airbrush one by one, and glued them after washing.
You can also add more weathering after assembling.
I believe this is the best way to save time and effort, also to assure the best outcome/result!
-
Then the cockpit.
This is how we can enjoy from a detailed enough plastic cockpit parts, with the help of kit decal, and a bit of your patience. 😉
-
Deal with the clear parts.
Be sure to spend most attention and effort on this part, since windshield/canopy are "eyes" of an airplane!
-
All parts cleared in 1.5 hours.
Ready for paint! That's what we call a modern kit for modern life style. 🙂

Hi guys
Long time no staring an in-progress thread since I tasted 6 1/700 ship models this year, but finally I'm back to aircraft modelling at the year end.
Which one should I restart with? Undoutly, my favorite aircraft, vanila Flanker tooled by GWH which I also participated in R&D work.
It's quite unfortunately to know the kits have not recieved in your local market yet due to pandemic, after released for almost 1 year in China mainland.
Hope my built will give you some adea about how this kit builds like, not only how it looks like in box.
The overall design concept of this kit is take the best balance between proper detail level and easy-building.
We omitted some invisible details to save your time and effort, to ensure you can finish the kit in a short time period and enjoy the final result as well.
It is based on our experience as modeller, which we would even think how to make the paint job easier when we decide part breaking down method.
Is it a less detailed kit than other Flanker?
Or it is a kit offering you less stress but more fun, to archive the enough detail you need to enjoy after finishing?
It's up to you. 😉
I have summarized the building progress and made a video for it.
Watch it on Youtube if you are interested:

First, let's start with the "dirty" part of the built.

Merry Christmas, Mr.Haneto.
May I ask when can we expect to see a new member of the 72nd Flanker family from GWH?
Merry Christmas!
Very soon I believe. The 1/72 scale MiG-29 3 variants are already under mold cutting(we already revised errors in the original 1/48 ver.), and 1/72 Su-27 will follow next.
Happy holidays.

Hi Haneto! You're going to have the same kit # - L4823 as the previous release? Why not change the number as this could create confusion for some if not all of the buyers especially the newbies, since this is a new kit and not a re-release? I mean they might be clicking on the earlier release on certain on-line shops without knowing it. Hope I'm not intruding something. Just asking.
I don't quite understand this.
The previous version with full AA missiles is L4820, which is different catalog number compared with this AG version L4823, isn't it?

Ok, but where to buy it?
Ebay?On 10/4/2021 at 10:12 PM, dustiepal said:I'd love to get this set and an SU-27 set but where do you get them from?
Dave
The owner is seeking oversea distributors but with slow progress, because of the international logistic serious delay and fare cost up.
The only realistic option so far is to buy it via some transfer purchase website from China Taobao.com

Will someone please enlighten me with regard to whether or not the new-tool Great Wall Hobby 1/48 Su-27 Flanker B kit has the proper washout at the wing tips? I've been watching at pictures of the Great Wall Hobby 1/48 Su-27UB kit, and it seems that the washout is all wrong or is not even present at all.
So far, about the only kit I've seen to have the proper washout is the Minibase 1/48 Su-33 Flanker D kit.
Thanks in advance,
Gwen
The wingtip downward angle is well presented on 3D design, as shown on below output pictures.
Talking about your concern, I believe it is caused by one piece upper/lower fuselage/wing part deformation during injection, because of the large size and shape(too flat and thin).
If you cut the wings by seperate parts from middle, like Su-33, then there will be no deformation issue like this.
So in my understanding, under current plastic injection mold technology limitation, this is very difficult to avoid as long as fuselage and wings are made by one piece part.
I will twist the wings little by little during my built, to have it present the correct wingtip downward angle.
Hope it clarifies

Thought modellers shall have better observation.
A bit dissappointing.

Hi guys
The long waited Detail & Wonder 480601 1/48 GWH Su-27 "Flanker" highly detailed landing gears will be released in August 2021.
Sample painted by myself.
Have a nice weekend.

Oh yes, almost forgot this which I post on Facebook.
One important tip for all Flanker builders:The pitot tube is not in the vertical against the end of radome, it is 3 degrees up against the radome center line.Yes no matter which varant you build, its ALWAYS 3 degrees up against the radome center line.I also attach the real size of the PVD-18 pitot tube which I measure it myself in Shenyang Aircraft Corporation more than 10 years ago, since some people questioned the kit part size is accurate or not.Believe me, this small feature will make your model looks so different, if you pay attention to it.Well it's already written in the GWH 1/48 Su-27 Flanker kit instruction sheet but sadly seems very few people do read it through...

Hi Haneto
Happy to see that your efforts are rewarded, but what do you mean by "The feeling of checking formal kit, is so different than the feeling when I got the sample kit several months ago.". Do you mean that the content of the distribution box is quite different from the samples you received before ( so the diffrenet feeling), or do you mean that you felt much more relieved when receiving the definitive kit that also meant "The case of Su-27 Flanker B is, as far as you are concerned, definitely closed "?
Thanks so much for all your efforts.

As ijozic said, content itself is totally same.
The package(high quality printed box, decals, etc.) makes the overall feeling different.

So the delivery man is already knocking everyone's door in China domestic market.
Received my 5 boxes today. 🙂

Haneto:
Thanks for the tip! Are you posting a build log of your UB on this forum or another? If so, can you provide link? I tried searching for it but couldn't find anything.
I've been using your Su-35s thread here on ARC for my build, and has been very helpful. Your online "teaching" has helped me achieve one of my better builds, so thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge!
Thanks for the support.
Unfortunately I'm not building the 27 at the time, since I'm enjoying building 1/700 ship models recently.;)
Maybe I will start building it after my current building plan is finished, hopefully this year.

15th June in domestic market.
Manufacture is suspended by those blo*dy 1/144 B-52G kits which were supposed to be released in April.
-
A small building hint for GWH 1/48 Su-27 kits: do NOT fill the panel line. I intentially break parts by panel lines.

what is exact ETA ?
Under injection now.
A bit delayed due to April production delay(the new 1/144 B-52G and other 2 re-issued kits).
Shall hit domestic market end of this month or beginning of June.

Hi, wich "older" kits have been affected with these bad batch of decals? ALL SU-35 for example?
Su-35 decals used new formula so they are fine.
All decals in the kit since then(2018), are all good.
Including some re-issued kits using new boxing, the white/blue "Finnish" color ones.

Unfortuantely lots of details are invisible after you install the "bathtube" into the fuselage.
That's why I am not a big fan of some over engineered model kits——just don't want to waste my precious time and energy on those so called "details"...
