Mstor Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Well, I covered my bases (I hope) and pre-ordered from Mig and Hobbysearch. Now someone is probably going to tell me that neither of those is the special addition Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PanzerG Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Just a question-don't read any anger or anything else-but this kit was announced to be released during january, wasn't it? And all the (good) hobby shops mentioned above don't propose it before february. Not easy to be patient... PZR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkKnight Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 listen it makes sense all the first boxings would have 2 canopies, but keep this in mind if you build armor remember Dragon 6730 Wittmann Tiger with crew, supposedly only first run has crew, HLJ appears to still have it years later with crew, think about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There was also the prototype #1but different scheme and different colours. Be careful, there are several noticeable differences between prototype and Su-35 S!

I think the 3rd prototype (904) had the same or very similar scheme, at least after accident. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmilitaryrussia.ru%2Fblog%2Ftopic-533.html&edit-text= Edited January 15, 2018 by Helmsman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeffrey Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Any preview on the tinted canopy? I hope it is not too dark in color. Regarding the first 2999 pcs, no body knows other than GWH the first 2999 pcs. I guess they will include the tinted canopy beyond the first 2999 orders, for the orders covering the first 3-6 months period. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GWH was recently looking for a US distributor and Dragon USA has not received any new stock in over a year. They are still listing the Oregon NG F-15C as a future release last April 2017, but it has never been available (it is available overseas). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.Sin Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Stevens International? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hobbysearch has changed the description of the kit to include the term "First version" and includes the picture of the two canopies, tinted and untinted. So, I think it is a pretty safe bet that their pre-order is for the special edition kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dmanton300 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Saw a pic on Facebook this morning of the area behind the canopy on this model. It looked frankly terrible. Wavy lines, fading detail, poor definition on grilles and gun port detail. Awkward tooling angles I appreciate, but the wavy looking lines and fade out looked really stark.

Laurent Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Well surface detailing is sharp on CAD snapshots but in the end it's the plastic that's being sold, not the CAD. CNC and EDM machines may not be able to obtain "perfectly" consistent surface details. It depends on the equipment used (3-axis or 4/5-axis CNC, etc) and of course the more capable is the more expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dmanton300 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Those longitudinal panel lines on the spine look like they were done freehand with a blunt needle. And the grilles look faded an indistinct. There's nothing here in terms of tooling quality any better or requiring less correction than the Hobbyboss Su-27 kits, which is disappointing after all the hype.

I sure hope this was some sort of early test shot, maybe? BTW, it does not look like Mig Ammo is getting the special edition kit. After placing my order I wrote them asking them to confirm that they were getting the special edition with both canopies. They had no clue and just sent me some general production run descriptions of the kit. I am canceling my order with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
