loftycomfort Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yeah, I'd like to get my hands on those ECM pods, and corrected -UB and -30 windscreen canopies too. Oh and don't forget the YF-23. Next year is probably ok as I'm still trying to polish off my 1/32 stash. :-) Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Could you let us know either thru ARC or email when you'll be ready to start accepting orders for the unlucky ones that aren't going to the Nats?I've just updated my website and the missiles are now available!I'll be updating it again tomorrow and adding the Sorbtsiya Pods, MiG-29 wheels and Su-27 early tail stinger. Hope to see you in Phoenix next year Eli Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Just ordered some of the missiles. Any chance of posting the AA-8 instructions, Chris? I got a set of the early limited release prior to the Nats that came without instructions. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for the order Dave I just updated the missile page on the website to include the instructions for all of the missiles. >>>Here<<< I'll be sure to throw in a printed copy with your new order. I'm still updating the website and just put up the MiG wheels. I've got to go demold some castings and I'll get back to updating the site with Sorbtsiya Pods and Su-27 Stingers... :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zactoman Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) Got a 404 when I tried to access your site, about five minutes ago.BJ Hmmm...???The home page? www.Zactomodels.com I just went there on both my computer and on Zactowomans' and had no problems. I even checked several of the pages including the missile page and placed (then cancelled) an order for some missiles. Is anybody else having any problems? Assuming the site is up, I finished loading the Sorbtsiya and Stinger pages. Edited August 31, 2009 by Zactoman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zactoman Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 I tried the link I had posted above and got the 404 myself. I just edited the post and tried again and now it seems to be working... If anybody still has a problem please let me know! I've got to go and cast some parts right now so I'll be away from the computer for a while but will check back often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I see one HUGE mistake in your masters though Chris.......You only are making them in 32nd! :D Seriously, have you considered scaling them down to at least 48th? There is a severe lack of (decent) Russian armament in the modeling community and I'm sure they'd be a huge seller in both scales!Rick totally aggree... 48th 48th 48th! I promise you, I will buy every single product related to flanker in 48th in the future may be product related to PAK-FA if it is anything like flanker.. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zactoman Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Of all the Alamo versions which is the mostly widely/commonly used?The most common combinations I've seen:Su-27 - 4 X Alamo-C (center and under intakes) + 2 X Alamo-B (inner wing pylons) + 4 X Archer (outer wing pylon and wingtip pylon) MiG-29 - 2 X Alamo-A + 2 X Archer + 2 X Aphid Lots of combinations are possible and not many photos are published of birds carrying weapons...

ijozic Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 The most common combinations I've seen:Su-27 - 4 X Alamo-C (center and under intakes) + 2 X Alamo-B (inner wing pylons) + 4 X Archer (outer wing pylon and wingtip pylon) I guess it would carry Alamo-D if the extended range radar homing versions were carried, no? MiG-29 - 2 X Alamo-A + 2 X Archer + 2 X Aphid This one was actually only for display purposes; as was discussed earlier (IIRC) the weapons control system couldn't support two different kinds of short range missiles.

Zactoman Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Su-27 - 4 X Alamo-C (center and under intakes) + 2 X Alamo-B (inner wing pylons) + 4 X Archer (outer wing pylon and wingtip pylon) I guess it would carry Alamo-D if the extended range radar homing versions were carried, no? Alamo-C is the extended range radar missile. Alamo-D is the extended IR missile. I beleive I have seen it carry a combination of the two with the Cs on center and the Ds under the intakes. MiG-29 - 2 X Alamo-A + 2 X Archer + 2 X Aphid This one was actually only for display purposes; as was discussed earlier (IIRC) the weapons control system couldn't support two different kinds of short range missiles.Very interesting!Do you have any links to this discussion? I have never heard this or read it (I mostly look at the pictures...). Most models I have seen built carry this combo (including my 1/32 Iraqi MiG-29). Does this mean they are technically wrong except for airshow displays? Regardless of accuracy, the three different missiles make for a nice visual load-out... I shipped a bunch of packages today. If you just ordered new products then your package has already shipped. If you ordered any of my previous products then it may be a few days as I was completely sold out of them after the Nats... :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, a big scale Flanker fans, have you all ordered these "bad boys" yet? Not yet? Then rush, rush to Zactomodels.com! Cheers! Alexander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haneto Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hi,Alexander! Do you have plan for some Flanker resin wheels like Fulrum's? The wheel hub is different from normal Su-27 to Su-27SM/Su-33. That would be most interesting I guess? Yufei Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Morgan Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Those missles are fantastic. If they are anything like the SU27 details kit, whick I purchased, then any buyer will be happy. Will you two be creating any air to surface missiles in the near future? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curt B Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hi guys, I've spent a good portion of my morning doing some beginning research on Russian missiles, and this thread appears to be the 'ne plus ultra' of the bunch (meaning, good stuff!). I know this is an older thread, but I simply had to respond to it, and ask a few questions. First off, the detail of the missiles discussed and pictured on this thread are beyond stunning! I am a modeler newly returned to the hobby after many decades, and I continue to be amazed by the kind of detail that is available on and for plastic scale models these days. And horrified by the prices! LOL That said, the reason for my particular interest in this specific topic is that I just this morning ordered the Trumpeter 1/32 SU-30MKK Flanker. For someone just getting back into this, it was/is a daunting thought, to have purchased such an expensive (and large) plane. However, I always thought the Su-27/30 was a fantastic looking aircraft. I understand there are some details that need to be addressed on the Trumpeter SU-30MKK, the canopy in particular. I wonder if the work on that aspect of the plane has continued, and whether those improvements are available. Secondly, on Wikipedia, the SU-30MKK ordnance list includes R-73 and R-27 air-to-air missiles. Are any of the missiles on this thread either these exact missiles, or sufficiently similar to be adequate for an SU-30MKK? If so, are those missiles still available for purchase? Next, I saw that there was a suggestion to use Begemot decals for the missiles. Apparently, they have decals for an SU-27. Would those decals be sufficiently accurate for ordnance on an SU-30MKK? Lastly, the Zactomodels site has a bunch of improvements for an Su-27. Would any of these 1) fit the Trumpeter SU-30MKK, and 2) would they be accurate for an Su-30MKK? These are probably all answered in the details of this thread, but I must admit that all the really knowledgeable references you folks have made in the thread are in some way beyond my ability to address, and thus the need to ask these questions as I have here. Thanks for any help, and again, amazing looking plastic here!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedStar Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The missiles that Zactoman produces are definitely what you need - the R-27 comes in four flavors - Thermal, Radar, and then extended range versions of each, all four are commonly seen on the Su-27 family, including the Su-30MKK. The R-73 is also made by Zacto, so you should be all set! Of course, the exact configuration and combination of missiles that you go for depends on the specific example that you're modeling. I know that Zacto also has canopy updates in the works for the two seat Flankers, so that will be covered for you in the not so distant future. Cheers, Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
