Few years ago I believed GWH's Su-35 is the next level in model enginering, talking about details and quality.
Well, now we have Minibase and Su-33. And the cockpit made out of over 120 parts. And over 330 tiny parst on three small sprues (out of 15 in total plus many singled parts like missiles or inlets). I don't know. Have never seen such detailed, thoughtful and polished kit. I wish to know what about fitting issues (if there are any), but that kit is something spectacular.

Thanks for such a high standard appreciation,But still need to have enough patience to complete the build.

One question: what are clear parts I6, I15 and I 16 for? I can't find anything about them in instruction manual, so why are they there?

Anything.
Really, any next such detailed kit would be warm welcomed.
Personally I wish to have something what is missing on the market: good Su-25 or A-10 kit.
Or - seriously - new F-16, because althought Tamiya kits are almost perfect regarding surface and shape, but there is lack od details in cockpit or wheel bays. New F-16 from Minibase... it would be really big WOW. 🙂

Thank you for answer dear friend.I really mean that you just made perfect kit.I have buyed two boxes,because I would like to make my Su-33 in both variants with folded wing and ready for mission.And also to show standard,and modernized variant with SVP-24-33 system, it is very important that this aircraft it can be presented in it's first combat campaign.All I can say to you is BRAVO SIR!!!To you and to all team from Minibase.

 

As of next what I would like to see is MiG-35...MiG-29KUB.And also very important Chinese jets,like J-8,J-7... series.Those Chinese aircrafts are very important for aircraft history and they deserve to be shown in better light.

Given the time it took them to finish this one, they could release some more Flanker variants. Since GWH did the regular single and dual seat Flankers, they could reuse the canard base and do Su-27M/35/37 and Su-30SM perhaps 🙂

   Hi ijozic,From my friends Sharing ,You can try to do some tests with waste parts as follows.
   The operation is actually not difficult. First cut the decal into small pieces,Then paint Mr. Mark Setter on the light blue bathtub dashboard,Move the decal to the correct position,During the period, there will be some buttons to support the decals to form a small tent,Ignore them at this time,Wait till next day. When you think they are completely dry,Apply Mr. Mark Softer on the surface of the decal,Then use a soft flat pen to flatten gently to make it fit:)

It is always better to look carefully on the picture before you write something.
The real pylon has got raised lines on front part and recessed at the end.
Minibase pylon has exactly opposite.image.thumb.png.deb281cb6a7d2b6250bc02196b3ebfc1.png

Lol, this is the same weld but in different lightning conditions. On the front is is lightened directly by the sun so shadow is on the bottom/left, the back part of pylon is lightened by snow reflection as it is in the wing shadow, that's why line shadow is inverted 😄

Ok, but what about my 2 questions regarding clear parts? Please let me know something about it. 🙂

It is set up to correspond to the open or closed state,After constant modification, it also played a backup role.
