Laurent Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 So really bad news. So sad. AFAIK there are no news but the tooling exists and the guy who owns the tooling will want to cover the tooling cost so he has to release the kit. Link to post Share on other sites

Or sell the tooling. I hope it will surface somewhere...it raised the bar above GWH MiG-29. Link to post Share on other sites
Vaildog Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I'm really disappointed. I guess I'm just not understanding the economics of this deal. It seems like 95% of the costs are upfront and have already been sunk into the project. Really all that is left is injecting the molds, printing the boxes and shipping the kit to market. Why give up at this point? Link to post Share on other sites

B.Sin Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think Berkut know's what's up with aviation art, but he's not saying. Brad Link to post Share on other sites

dthank Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Did I miss something? Where was it revealed that something went wrong with the production of this kit? From what I read above, the kit is being tooled and will be released when ready. Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Bad news... After all that hard work, the kit is as far as I know, in limbo. There was apparently some dispute between the team that developed the kit and the guy with the money. I don’t know if/when the Su-33 will be released. I’m have requested that this thread be locked. The new owners of the kit will likely start a new thread if/when they are ready to make an announcement. The good news is that I’ve continued working with the same development team and they have started a new company, “Halo Scale”. Look forward to some awesome kits!!!
