ya-gabor Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I think enough has been shown of the new 48th scale GWH Su-35S kit in the past months. Now it is time to add few drops of paint and do the second test build, this time here in Europe. It is here: Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check the delivery dates closely on the eBay listings. They look like pre orders to me with delivery estimated in the second half of February. Cliff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't notice that I didn't order one from the eBay seller, I think they are in stock based on the posted images. I think those dates are standard for international shipping. Normally sellers will put pre-order in their listing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeffrey Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) I just got the Kit today. It came with a huge thick box. Just make sure no delicate parts are broken. Mine has part 43 broken (some longish piping for the front wheel wells) into two, other parts are fine. Oh, I also got the "tinted" canopy, which appears to me tinted too light in color.

You bought it from a shop or it's a sample (I'm asking to know if the kit is in full production) ? How big is the box (length+width+height < 90cm for Small Packet airmail) ?

Jeffrey Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Hi Laurent, I bought it from TaoBao and it is my first time buying a kit from there. However, I think the safest option is with HobbyEasy or LuckyModel, which also has the lowest price. The box dimensions are W x L x H = 33cm x 46cm x 11cm It is just the sprues of the intake trunk, exhaust, gear bay pipes all pack together in the same bag that may cause some damage during shipment. And the box has left over spaces. Here are some photos of the kit: I just hope GWH will release a 1:48 su-27 which has more possibilities in weathering, camoflague and decal options.

Jeffrey Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Some of the panel lines need to re-engrave or fix for sure. \ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B.Sin Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I thought they said they were going to set a new standard and 1/48 scale modeling? A standard of good or bad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I think I will cancel my preorder... Those lines looks really dissapointing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmanton300 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Those pictures kind of make me want a Kittyhawk one. . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Gabor, can you take some photos of the same areas? Something seems odd about this. Like it is test shot quality or perhaps some bad shots made it into the hands of some who are jumping on a some easy money.

modelingbob Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Jeffrey, thanks for posting those pics. That's the reason why I generally do not do pre-orders and I prefer to wait until the plastic is out to the public before spending my valuable money. If that's the norm, I'm probably gonna pass on this kit. Hopefully, it's not the norm and you just got some bad QC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.Sin Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hope is not lost kid's! GWH has retooled and corrected mistakes on previous kits, like the MiG-29 and the F-15. They really have to shake up their quality control team. I'm curious to see what they will say about this, and I'm sure they will do what they can to fix it. This should never have happened!
