TRUMPETR 1/72 Su-33UB COMING SOON


Recommended Posts

Well, it is shorter, that is not up to discussion i think. As to it being fatter, i was quite sure i had some good evidence of that somewhere, but i cant remember what it was or where it was now. It just looks fatter visually;

...although that by itself is not good enough. Although a horrible picture, the diameter here looks significantly larger;

Neffan, that last picture you posted shows my point exactly. The radome is shorter, but the distance from the end of the LERXes is the same. The whole cockpit assembly is in a forward position compared to the single seater as well as being positioned higher to improve landing visibility.

However, the diameter at the white demarcation is the same.

Ken, I have seen that picture before, the angled cut out is before the blend.

The Trumpy canopy is too shallow and that compromises the carachteristic shape of the UB.

Look at the number 1 of the 21 code, it is perfectly straight, no curve at that point, now compare it to the kit.

Also notice how the cannon blast shield is vertically undersized in the kit.

We need a whole new forward fuselage section.

Ken, what book is that you are talking about?
