If they produced it with the same quality as the Su-35? it should be spectacular! Word. We will see a lot of the F-35 over the coming decades. Alternatively, at least give us a F-15E series (SA & SG & K). Minimal tooling perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Be careful handling the model. Some of the paint is bound to come off unless sealed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.Sin Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 It's a shame testors model Master discontinued so many of their colors. Never had any problems with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was able to blend in some of the smaller oops with a fine paint brush and airbrush the rest. Just now, B.Sin said: It's a shame testors model Master discontinued so many of their colors. Never had any problems with them. I agree. That's what I usually use on a regular basis. The flanker colors from Testors seemed to be darker than the AKAN paint for this particular model unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because the missile mold was made years ago by the mold factory who made the MiG-29 kit. The Su-35 kit mold was tooled by another mold factory. The old mold factory did not provide the FINAL version of the missile CAD design, so the new mold factory did not make the correct install pins to match the missiles CAD. And since missile molds have already been removed to mass production mold factory, the Su-35 mold factory had no way to test fit the missiles on their pylons. It was me, the first one in the world noticed these stupid mistakes during my assembling the full kit in this Feb and I have summarized all assembling tips here. But unfortunately seems little people paid attention or showed interest. http://www.moxing.net/2018/0206/8690.html Many mess of the kit happened by such ridiculous reasons which could be avoided if only anyone could test build ALL the parts. But sadly due to tight schedule it did not happen, which caused many imperfections of this kit, to be frankly speaking. Meanwhile this Su-35 is still among one of the best researched 1/48 aircraft models so far. Once you actually build it and compare it to the really Su-35 photos, I believe you will just smile like I did. Yufei Didn't know this existed. Thanks Yufei! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A more 'contemporary" Mudhen with AESA radar etc would be a good fit for GWH to market and I would jump on one immediately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raptor71 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) 24 minuti fa, habu2 ha detto: Così è il missile è troppo lungo o troppo corto il pilone ??? Il foro ed il perno di fissaggio posteriore non corrispondono. You can remove the rear pin, or make a hole in the right position on the missile and eventually close the remaining hole Edited April 2, 2018 by Raptor71 added photo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The answer to your question is (D) None of the above, if we will be following the regular multiple choices sequencing in our examination papers. Coz it's just the pin (one of the pins) that is in the wrong location.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coz it's just the pin (one of the pins) that is in the wrong location.... In the spirit of multiple choice, plese select from the following choices: the front pin is in the wrong location the rear pin is in the wrong location the front hole is in the wrong location the rear hole is in the wrong location all of the above none of the above 1 & 4 only 2 & 3 only Thursday We will be grading on a curve......
