Ace Combat Zero Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 What happened to the hobbyboss 1/48 su-27? I also want to ask what website still stocks the zhengdefu 1/48 su-27. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Av8fan Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) HB Su-27: No idea. Dont bother with the zhengdefu.From all that I have read, it seems to be a poor kit. Why not take a look in the Buy and Sell here. I am sure that you will find a good deal on an Acad SU-27 eventually. Edited December 2, 2013 by Av8fan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedStar Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Agree, there's the Academy kit, or the Eduard upgraded version of the Academy kit with some really outstanding add-ons. Those are options that are open if you want to build a Su-27 RIGHT NOW. The HB kit will come soon enough. As has been noted the Zhendengfu kits are poor, poor - they're REALLY bad - copies of the basic Academy kit, so there's no reason to consider them, especially as the Academy kits can be soruced cheaply after nearly 20 years of release.

habu2 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I have the Academy 1/48 su-27, i was just wondering What companies manufactured 1/48 su-27s Academy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Inquisitor Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) I have the Academy 1/48 su-27, i was just wondering What companies manufactured 1/48 su-27s Academy. Yup Academy is the only one. The others are low quality copies of the academy kit, like the Sh i t dogfood one. And the HB is most likely Vaporware at this stage. Even the Trumpeter 1/32 A-6 took 6 years to be released since it was first announced. And before you ask, HB and Trumpeter are sister companies. Did I mention Academy is the only Su-27 kit really? Eduard and Wolfpack boxings are that, reboxings of the academy kit with extras like resin and decals. The chinese ones are bad quality copies. /> Edited December 3, 2013 by Inquisitor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 "Zhendefu" is Cantonese for "Run very far away from this piece of rice fertilizer as fast as ever your little feet will carry you" (or something to that effect). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedStar Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Sure the HB kit is likely not tooled, but they seem to be doing a better job of getting through their announcements in a semi-timely manner, so I have hope that we'll see it within 12 months. Pretty much everything else that was on the HB list has been released, and then some... I also have, at least, hope that it will be a decent, and certainly better than Academy, starting point. Given that Trumpyboss did some degree of corrections to upgrade their 1:32 kit and a further round of adjustments to their 1:72 kit, I can hope that the 1:48 version is the best yet. Of course, there's nothing to say in the interim that somebody like, say GWH, will bless us with an uber kit, but that's even bigger wishful thinking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mario krijan Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Again in catalog? come on GWH please release flanker before HB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pep Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I think the 1/48 flanker has been in the HB catalog for 3 years straight. 4 once the 2014 one comes out :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlCZ Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 But - Sea Flanker may be relased soon ? From new chinese company ? And when they relased a Sea Flanker, why not a standard Flanker ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Av8fan Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Well, if a new SU-27 was to come out, I would prefer either the company working with Zactoman(Chris) or GWH. The Sea Flanker and the GWH F-15 are just awesome looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chomper Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 If GWH did a proper series of the Flanker, they would make a killing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ace Combat Zero Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Is there any 1/48 Su-35 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Is there any 1/48 Su-35 short answer... No. if you see a "miniHobby" box showing a Su-35/37... stay away! no Su-27M nor 35 or 37... no Su-35S neither... it just exist resin conversion sets, for Su-35/37, from Sol, Windmark and WolfpackD. (but these are expensive things and require good modeling skills) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Inquisitor Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Yeah, that conversion set seems to be too much for me right now. You don't like the Minihobby 1/48 Su-35/37? Did you read our comments about the Academy Su-27 being the only kit? About all the chinese copies from the Academy kit? Minihobby are modified copies too and like the Sh ittydogfood kits STAY AWAY, unless your hobby is burning or throwing your money away! DID WE MENTION ACADEMY IS THE ONLY SU-27 KIT AND YOU SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM ALL CHINESE COPIES BECAUSE THEY ARE S H I T!? If you buy any of this chinese copies. This is what's gonna happen. 1) You'll realize how s h i t t y they are, give up and throw it out of your window. 2) Or You'll culture your patience, you'll spend money on a couple tubes of putty or more and train all your basic modeling skills. You'll learn to fix star trek levels of warping, you'll learn to fill and sand Grand Canyon sized gaps, etc. Edited December 6, 2013 by Inquisitor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
