Zactoman Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Any chances that a Su-27 will follow? I sure hope so! I guess everything will depend on how well the Su-33 does. Box Art: Link to post Share on other sites

Cyrus Tan Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The box art looks great Chris! I'm really looking forward to this kit! How much longer before it's released and how much? Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Damn that's sexy! Man...cannot wait! Bring it! I sure hope so! I guess everything will depend on how well the Su-33 does. Chris, To quote Kaiser Chiefs, "I predict a riot" when this kit comes out...start planning for extended runs and Su-27!

I sure hope so! I guess everything will depend on how well the Su-33 does. There are really enough Su-27 out there already. I wish a company could release 1/48 Su-35 and Su-34 twin seater as soon as possible. Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 There are really enough Su-27 out there already. There is not one accurate Flanker kit IN ANY SCALE currently 'out there'. Ken Link to post Share on other sites

I wish a company could release 1/48 Su-35 and Su-34 twin seater as soon as possible. There are only the aging Academy kit and its knock-offs out there currently in 1:48 scale. Though there's also the Hobby Boss kit that has been dragging through catalogs for a couple of years now, but when it will finally show up and how good it will be is anybody's guess.

There is never enough Su-27! Academy kit has fair bit of issues, and it is reasonable to expect that HB kit, whenever it will be released, will carry over the mistakes done in the 1/72 kit. It would be an improvement over Academy kit for sure, but it will certainly not be "perfect". If someone did a really good Su-27, lets say of quality of this Su-33, that would be the same as license to print money. And in danger of being pedantic; there is single seater Su-34? :P Link to post Share on other sites

Have built a few academy kits and have never been happy with the look of the forward fuselage (I realize there are AM corrections for this) I have been holding off on buying another to see what the HB version like, if indeed it ever materializes. A quality standard su27 would be exactly what the doctor ordered. Edited January 29, 2014 by dryguy Link to post Share on other sites
eagledocf15 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 This looks fantastic. I have long been a Zactoman fan and this upholds my impressions!!! Well done. I would love to pre-order this and the OV-10S !!!!!!!! Well Done Sir!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Meatwad Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Only the hardest of the die hards is going to even know what an Su-33 is, much less buy one. Oh I disagree! When I gathered up the kit, decals and all the resin needed to make a 1/72nd version, I had to wait a long time. Everything was severaly backordered. Think it took me six months to get it all together (and by that time my insect-like attention span had lost interest in building it) :) I think the -27 and -33 are the two that most of us know, and if they don't know the -33 by number, they know "sea flanker". It's the -35, -37, et al where things start falling off. I think this kit will sell very well, and much better than some of the 50's and 60's era new tools we've seen in the last few years.

galfa Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) When it will be available? Given that I can't wait for a Su-27, do you think it would be easy to modify the Su-33 into a Su-27? Edited January 30, 2014 by galfa Link to post Share on other sites

Well, the Trumpeter 1/32 and Hobby Boss 1/48 A-6 kits were also thought to have been vaporware but they did eventually come to fruition albeit a good many years after they were announced. Pretty good kits to boot too. Mark Link to post Share on other sites
