onescale Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 O.K., I think it's time to realize that I lost the battle with a Academy Su-27 and a Windmark Su-33 conversion before it started :wacko: .....and that I lost around € 100..... Cheers, Jens Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 the fit of these parts is rather impressive! ...and it appears that there will be no need of resin aftermarket landing gear bays on that kit!(which is a very welcome feature!) thanks for these updates Zactoman!

Youngtiger1 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Well, it looks like I'll be getting me another 1/48 kit because I don't think I'll see this in 1/32 anytime soon. :(/> Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I agree with Waco. Where do I send my wallet for its impending lifetime of servitude for my new modeling overlords? Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Wing-fold stuff taped in place: Some pit parts fitted: While there are some things that need to be adjusted before it's released, my conclusion so far is that it's a pretty awesome kit. I think I need to build and paint one... Link to post Share on other sites

Flankerman Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 As the old Airfix ads used to say.... "Just like the real thing..." Fantastic work :worship: It's not my scale, but I'll certainly be getting one!! Ken Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 the fit of these parts is rather impressive! ...and it appears that there will be no need of resin aftermarket landing gear bays on that kit!(which is a very welcome feature!) thanks for these updates Zactoman! Judging from what i have seen of test sprues and CAD's, i will almost claim that this kit won't need aftermarket anything. :) Link to post Share on other sites

Skull Leader Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 now I'm scared to know how much this thing is gonna cost... Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 now I'm scared to know how much this thing is gonna cost... Given the size and complexity of the tooling, I guess that the price should be about the same as the price of the GWH F-15 so 115 USD MSRP. We'll see soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites

bmikk Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Had the privilege of meeting Chris (Zactoman) at the local IPMS meeting last night. He brought the test shot of the SU-33 and all I can say is WOW. The detail in the above posted photos are fantastic but to see in person is incredible!! I cannot comment on the fit of the kit however the detail, especially the rivit detail, is outstanding! The detail in the wing-fold really blew me away! Chris still did not have a release date but whenever it is released it will have been well worth the wait. Link to post Share on other sites
