MiG31 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I may have to get a copy of Duke Nukem Forever just as a stand on which to display the Trumpeter 1:72 Su-27. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THAT cracked me up. :lol: Which will come first, Half Life Episode 3, or Trumpeter Su-27? :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MiG31 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Which will come first, Half Life Episode 3, or Trumpeter Su-27? Don't get me started on that. I'm still getting over the lag time prior to Portal 2's release. :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let's hope Trumpeter's 1/72 Flankers will be better than Duke Nukem Forever! <...> Which will come first, Half Life Episode 3, or Trumpeter Su-27? :P Wait! They still intend to give us an Episode 3? :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drake122 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 After years, this time I believe it is coming soon. The Trumpeter official website released the box cover and item No.:01662 for October product update. October? I thought it's a Christmas release. Not that I mind though.

PetarB Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Which will come first, Half Life Episode 3, or Trumpeter Su-27? :P Perhaps Diablo 3 will beat them all. I'm very, very cross with Valve. Portal 2 was a lot of fun, but I'm really, really hoping for a final boss fight with 'The Man in Black'... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarathi S. Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Well, there are a couple of people protesting in front of Valve's offices in hopes of getting Half Life 3, but I'm not sure how that worked out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Well, there are a couple of people protesting in front of Valve's offices in hopes of getting Half Life 3, but I'm not sure how that worked out. We are getting daaaangeriously off topic now, but Gabe (Valve boss) came outside, talked and joked with them, and invited them for a visit in the Valve offices. Valve is really cool. They did not get any Ep3 info tho. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarathi S. Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Then what was the point of coming inside? O.o But back on topic, if this Flanker is correct, I might invest in one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Laurent Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) I have no idea what you are all talking about..... They're making an analogy with PC video games where the time between announcement and actual release happened to be many years.

MiG31 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Ken, the game Duke Nukem Forever was first announced in April 1997. It was released just a few months ago. Sadly, I've heard it does not live up to its hype. I hope that will not be the case with this kit. Trumpeter has had time to get it right. I just had another look at the sprue shots. Are the horizontals single-piece with two options, or are they two-piece assemblies? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) I guess this thread is the most fitting to post this. Here is an super early flanker, with the weights and all. And what is this? Ken, Andrey? PS: MiG31, they look definitely one piece to me. Look how "3D" the weights are, and the thickness of the root. I am sure trumpeter will provide two options, atleast in the non J-11 boxing. Edited August 24, 2011 by Berkut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MiG31 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Luckily I've got a couple Airfix Flankers in the stash, so I can rob them for their nose wheel mud guards. I've been thinking of building an early-block Su-27. By the way, what happened to the mud guard on that Flanker in the photo? Surely none of the early aircraft operated without the guard?

Are the horizontals single-piece with two options, or are they two-piece assemblies? Actually, from what I've heard, "Does not live up to its hype" would be an understatement. Apparently the game was HORRIBLE. But on topic, I don't get what it is with Flankers. Why are they never correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olemanjoe Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 LOl Duke Nukem couldnt possibly live up to the hype... gaming has certainly moved away from one dimensional shooters.... saying that, i sure hope trumps get it right... until then i still hv my one solitary airfix kit in my stash...

Deino Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Huhu ... nothing new ?? ... but anyway even if only an earlier J-11A (with AL-31F) this is still a nice one ! http://www.airliners.net/photo/China---Air/Shenyang-J-11B/1980981/L/&sid=fe6442493a820f5713dc21f2c17f68c9 Deino Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flankerman Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Be still my beating heart......... It all looks good at first glance - folding wings, Sorbtsiya ECM pods etc etc..... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Very cool. Not so sure that this is actually the kit, judging from the pic it seems to be a mock up. Similar to theirs Jaguar, Su-17 (any one remember that one?) etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Any hints as to what scale it is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I knew Trumpeter will do this :) They are going to bring out almost everything PLAAF and PLAN have eventually. My guess what we are seeing is 1/72. I hope I am wrong :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
