Tapchan Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Will have to find J-15 decals for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Just to give a short update; I have had the first version of the sprues for several months now and even in the early version they look amazing (bare a number of small production issues). Honestly one of the most detailed kits ever. The next version of the sprues will be done soon and axillary stuff (instruction, decals, PE etc) is being worked on too. This one is well worth waiting for. Edited May 25, 2020 by Berkut Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, thanks for the update! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, thanks for the update! I don't want to be too specific for a number of reasons, but very soon. 🙂 Of course how long it will take til the kit is out considering everything (and not just the sprues themselves) is anyones guess, but the work is continuing steadily.

Fair enough. 😊 Are you able to show us any new spru images that you have on-hand while we are waiting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, i cannot, so you would just trust my word and previous CAD's. Either way, it is better to wait for the updated sprues anyway at this point. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solo Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 So many details, but I am not so sure if this kit will be so sophisticated and fine detailed as Kinetic one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Petarvu Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 I am surprised by those horrible rings and fuses on R-73's. Expected more from such detailed kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 There are an awful lot of sink marks on many of the parts. I would think they will need to correct that before release. Same problem the early Kinetic Su-33 kits had (which has now been corrected from what I hear). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BraggPeak Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Do we know which company will release and distribute this kit ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kinetic DID correct the tools to avoid the sink marks. Actually Kinetic replaced the original kit with those awful sinks for a brand new one free of charge after contact. From what I see this new kit so to say "inherited" some of the tooling problems while many of the details were corrected. But the tooling . . .

Damn good of Kinetic. I wish I had waited before starting my Kinetic Su-33 (old molds). By the time the new one came out, I was about 80% done and have no desire to do another.
