Eastern Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The scary thing is that they are more realistic than a model of flanker/fulcrum could ever be... Hah! You forgot those stunning Chris' improvements that make Flanker and Fulcrum look much more realistic. Cheers! Alexander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hah! You forgot those stunning Chris' improvements that make Flanker and Fulcrum look much more realistic. Cheers! Alexander. It will still not be 100% realistic because it will lack a rivet here and there... But i have a feeling your missiles have exactly as many rivets as it is on the real thing.

Eastern Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Chris........there isn't but there should be a law that prevents a [person] from literally committing legalized robbery, with those missiles you are almost demanding they purchase your products. If a modeler wants absolute accuracy he/they will have to come to you where Russian missiles are concerned. You're not playing on a level field; it has just become heavily tilted in your favor :) . Those missiles; if I may use the term; are exquisite. They have a level of detail rarely seen. I hope this is a friendly note? :) Chris makes the highest quality products and I think ain't no matter who has mastered them. And no matter how he uses my masters. He makes some copies for me due my request for my own builds. He is a real Resin Artisan and I'm happy to deal with him. His craftsmanship always inspires me and I'm happy if I make something closer to his level. Need hi-quality accurate products - just knock to Zactomodels, purchase and fondle them! :) Cheers!

Jinxter13 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) The scary thing is that they are more realistic than a model of flanker/fulcrum could ever be... :) Now there's a idea whose time has definitely come........OK Chris the ball's in your court..are ya gonna drop it or hit it back by making a Flanker or Fulcrum kit to match the very high detail and quality of your missiles? You just gotta know your kit would sell like the last few gallons of gas in a shortage; I'm making a reservation now for one of the first ones you make. I believe if you did, it would out sell anything on the market today, and probably for years to come!!! :) . It would definitely raise the bar on the level of kit quality.

Av8fan Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Any possibility of these in 1/48th? At all? Stunning work gentlemen. Thanks for the updates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet78 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Can you imagine a resin SU-27 in 32nd scale not to mention the weight ? the gear would have to be made out if Titanium not to mention the $$$. Those resin Seafury's and Panthers that Fisher puts out would be dwarfed by comparision. I would bet the price tag would be close to a grand, am I right Chris ?

Jeez...How does one respond to that? "The check is in the mail" :P Honestly, the feeling is mutual. These missiles are phenominal as were the MiG-29 exhausts. I can't wait to see the Archer in person. Alamo-D body These are some big missiles! Here's a comparison with Alamo A, B, C and D next to the Aphid (tiny!) and a Sidewinder thrown in to give an idea of scale No plans to do a complete resin kit of an Su-27 or a MiG-29...Ever... Any possibility of these in 1/48th? At all?No immediate plans to do any 1/48 missiles... :cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) First test casting of the Alamo-A:For comparison... From left to right: Revell MiG-29, Trump MiG-29, Zactomodels, Trump Su-27 (what were they thinking?): :D Very interesting comparison shot. While the resin one is clearly superior, the one in the Trumpeter Mig-29 kit (which is also the one in the Russian Weapons set) doesn't look that bad. Even more interesting is the one in the 20+ year old Revell MiG-29 kit isn't that bad either, considering the age. Edited June 24, 2009 by Dave Williams Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Hingtgen Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Would it be inappropriate to ask where's the YF-23? :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet78 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Would it be inappropriate to ask where's the YF-23? :lol: Yes it would be who cares about that, gimmie more SU-27 stuff!!! maybe more weapons ? nudge, nudge, wink, wink :lol: Maybe some canopy framing for the 2 seater or better yet a cockpit for the two seater.

Eastern Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hi, Chris! The castings tuned out really great! I hope no troubles to fit the parts together arose? Well, next step is making the pylons. ;) Cheers! Alexander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rogier77 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hello Chris, I like to order four Archers and eight Alamo's for my Su-27 B Flanker. And two Archers and the ecm pods for my new project Su-20 MKM. Those missilles are TOP. I have now words for that. The other parts a order by your company fits damm good. I hope that you soon will selling your new missilles. A small question, are you planning to make a new canopy for the SU-30 twin seat Flanker? The canopy of the MKK is not that good in shape. I soon place my new order for the MKM. Chris your parts are the best aftermarkt goodies i have seen so far. My respect for your work. Rogier Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd again like to give Alexander credit for creating such beautiful patterns :huh: Yes, I am planning to make a replacement canopy for both the Su-27UB as well as the Su-30MKK. I'll be getting back to work on them after I return from the Nationals... I made a display with a line up of all the missiles: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am also glad see that you are planning a perfect Su-27ub/ 30 MKK/MKM canopy. I can't wait to get one in my hands. I'll wait to start the project for my MKM untill i have a new canopy. The nose and the intake for the SU-27 are the same *** for the SU-30 MKK ?? Are you also planning to make new Lerks and Cannard's for the '30 ?? Rogier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
