Jinxter13 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Zactoman....ohhh Zactoman...I have a question for you, once a long while back you and I had a discussion about you and all your talents doing some stuff is 48th, remember?, at which time you politely said;no; at that time, and even now I still hold on to a thread of hope you'll change your mindset toward us 48th scalers , and provide for us the brilliant products you do for the larger, and smaller scales, even the 72nd kids suffer your disdain for our scales, IT'S NOT FAIR :D, we deserve love too. Well since you're involved rather deeply with the Sea Flanker project...has your stance on doing products in 1/48th changed? Edited June 13, 2014 by #1 Greywolf Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I am gonna take a chance and assume it is ok for Chris that i publish this. I could have sworn that i have seen renderings of the buddy-refuelling pod, but i cannot find them. So maybe they never existed. Otherwise things included will be: R-27 (two types) R-73 Kh-41 ECM pods And all the pylons of course. Id be happy with that :) Link to post Share on other sites
Gundamhead Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Wow. I want one or two. Any timeline or price range info yet? Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Berkut, Do you know how far along they are with the tooling?? Brad Nope. Link to post Share on other sites

Zactoman Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 I know how you feel. So do I... I wish I had some new updates but I'm waiting for word as well. As far as I know the tooling has been started. I'm anxiously awaiting word on when I can get a test shot. There were problems with the decal art and it is being fixed. I don't know if the instructions have been started. I have the camouflage/decal charts finished. The stencil decal charts are finished. I don't know if the box art is finished other than the cover painting. I still haven't heard of a release date or price. I will post an update as soon as I learn anything new! I am gonna take a chance and assume it is ok for Chris that i publish this. I could have sworn that i have seen renderings of the buddy-refuelling pod, but i cannot find them. So maybe they never existed. Otherwise things included will be:R-27 (two types) R-73 Kh-41 ECM pods And all the pylons of course. Thanks for posting Berkut , but the info is not quite correct. No buddy refueling pod. Never considered for the kit. No Kh-41. It was considered but decided against since it was only a mock-up on one prototype and not a possibility on the production Su-33. As far as I know the kit will include: 4 X R-27ER - Alamo-C 4 X R-27ET - Alamo-D 4 X R-73 - Archer 2 X ECM pods Link to post Share on other sites

PL-8 PL-10 (the new successor to the PL-8 ... even if not seen on the prototypes it will surely equip the serials + new/old wt-plyons) PL-12 UPAZ-1A/-1M IFR-pod YJ-83K ASM Deino Link to post Share on other sites
Lyash Igor Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Some news is better than no news at all! Look forward to this kit. Best regards Gabor Gabor, do you know when planned it release? Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Gabor, do you know when planned it release? Hi Igor, Unfortunately I have no idea about the release date :( :( :( Not even the great "За что ман" knows more details. :) :D :) I look forward to this kit and hope it will be of just as great quality as the preview CAD images suggest! If the trend of quality in research by new companies (like the GWH MiG-29) is anything to go by then it will be great. I am sure this kit of an excellent aircraft will be a great success all over the world. Best regards Gabor Link to post Share on other sites
B_Realistic Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 This will be the MOST WANTED kit since years.:) Many modelers around the world are waiting for that one and it will be build, build and build. When released I put everything aside for this one. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm betting Zactoman will be by with some cool stuff shortly!!!! That would be my cue... The Facebook page is up! With lots of test shot pics: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Aviation-Art-Model-Kits/631889120233691?ref=profile Keep in mind that these are just test shots!
