Berkut Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Everyone can relax when it comes to length of the model now. :) Just got the word from Zvezda length will be 304/313,84mm without and with pitot tube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It's looking good for us Flankerists! When the first pics of the Su-34 appear, I'll probably crap my pants. These kits better be good then. I mean they gotta be perfect! No half-arse attemps a lá Trumpeter and ICM accepted anymore. These gotta freakin' ROCK! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Late Summer 2013. Could you please link to the source? Not that i don't believe you, just curious. I notified Zvezda about the intake difference on the vertical stabs, maybe it will be fixed. (not that it is a big deal to start with) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(not that it is a big deal to start with) Their forum, I can't give you specific page# (I can't recall whether it was in Introducing Su-27 or MiG-29 thread), but it was posted by their rep in late last year.

Flankerman Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 New CAD image of Zvezda's Su-27SM..... http://vk.com/zvezdamodels?w=wall-29859496_183414%2Fall Tasty........ Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Kh-31's, niiice. I sent information a while ago about the intake difference on the base of the vertical tails. Information was forwarded to main designer, we will see if it will be fixed or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mario krijan Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 looks nice!!! zvezda take your time and do it right!!! Berkut any news about new Il-76 kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 So Zvezda it is then. I waited for the ICM kit, waited for the Trumpeter kit, never bought either one. This time they've got to nail it! But that Heller UB somewhere in my stash I'll build one day. No matter how good new two-seaters they'll give us! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 More Zvezda Su-27SM joyfulness......... I can't answer any questions about the base and accessories - but it looks like the fin intakes are correct Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) looks nice!!! zvezda take your time and do it right!!! Berkut any news about new Il-76 kit? No news about Il-76. And they do take their time, they are almost one year behind the original release already. :) So Zvezda it is then. I waited for the ICM kit, waited for the Trumpeter kit, never bought either one. This time they've got to nail it! But that Heller UB somewhere in my stash I'll build one day. No matter how good new two-seaters they'll give us! Hear hear. I also have Heller UB (two even) in the stash... Chances of them being built are microscopical. :D I can't answer any questions about the base and accessories - but it looks like the fin intakes are correct Ken Extra stuff seems to be included in the kit, which is very nice, although i hope it doesn't drive the price too much. Also hope they will release that and weapons separately. And indeed they corrected they intakes. They, unlike HobbyTrump, are interested in making good kits. PS: Did you notice anything "inaccurate" with that CAD Ken? ;) Hint: It is small. Edited February 28, 2013 by Berkut Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I must admit I didn't look too closely - but I have done so now........ The only thing I can notice is the size of the hole in the mudguard - it looks too small in the CAD. Is that it ???? Ken PS - The two spine aerials make it an SM2/3 right ?? PPS - There doesn't seem to be much discussion about it on Zvezda's forum - are they saying anything on Scalemodels.ru ????

Andre Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 More Zvezda Su-27SM joyfulness......... That looks really, really good. I feel awesome about resisting the Trumpeter kits now. :) Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 PS - The two spine aerials make it an SM2/3 right ?? Yup. SM2 designation is sometimes used on aircraft signed under the second contract, but i don't think it is entirely correct. That antenna is for SM3 indeed, Su-35S have it as well. IMHO it is just SM and the twelve SM3's. Scalemodels topic has been dead for a month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Su-27 3D is apparently done, and we can expect new CAD pictures soon. New release date: "early fall". Lets hope this is the last schedule move. Su-33 is also being worked on, yes, we can expect folded wings with all the details. As of now, CAD is too raw to be shown. MiG-29 is also being worked on, there is expressed hope that it will be released right at the end of the year. In other words, don't expect it then. :rolleyes:/> Edited June 28, 2013 by Berkut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
