A quick question. Which is better?

A quick question. Which is better?

The HB one has the correct 'beaked' nose - not sure of any other plusses or minusses........

PS - It is 'S-37 or Su-47' - it was changed from being an 'S-37' because of confusion with the 'real' Su-37 (TVC Su-35, bort 711).

Thanks for the quick response, Flankerman! I had seen another thread where someone had to chop the Zvezda in half to lengthen it and I didn't want to have to do that to get a reasonably accurate build.

Do you know if any aftermarket parts fit the Hobbyboss kit?

I would go for Zvezda + Prop&Jet resin nose + Equipage wheels

thats make one nice Su-47(i did the same)

P.S. I do not have Hobby boss Su-47 but looking on this photo-i do not like it

hobbyboss have su-27 nozzles on their su-47!

svezda seem to have mig-31 style nozzles. (witch is correct)

I think Hobby Boss kit is rebox of Mini Hobby Models, which was again early version of Trumpeter if i am not mistaken. It's legs are too long.

The picture from flanker shows you're correct - it's sitting too high. I'll go with the Zvezda kit. I'm not a rivet counter anyway, I just want a decent looking bird. Thanks for all the input!
