Berkut Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 That doesn't quite look like an Su-33 i have ever seen i must admit.😛 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tapchan Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 True, Su-33 have canards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stalal Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Its quite expensive for a 1/48 after including the shipping. But then its a very detailed kit and a lot of thought has gone into designing and packaging the kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 It depends on what you are looking for, if we want to have a well detailed model in every corner of the plane without going to buy accessories then the price does not seem so expensive to me. No need to upgrade the cockpit ($ 15). the wheels ($ 10), the engines ($ 25), the landing gears ($ 25), various details that we usually have with EDUARDS ($ 20), the decal looks good to me too ($ 15). And I'm not going to count the armaments. We come to a total of $ 110 without the kit. So fine I'm happy with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hope my resin exhaust nozzles from Amigo Models will fit the Minibase fuselage. Building any model without aftermarkets it is something unnatural. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The price seems to be between Kitty Hawk and GWH Flanker kits, as far as I can see on the linked HobbyEasypage. Given the level of detail which seemingly rivals GWH, sounds quite fair, IMHO.

I will swap it with the 3d printed seats or one from Aires. Photo etch can capture the seat cushion and belt details like resin can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If this level of quality can be expected in their subsequent releases, then I have no problems paying relatively more for it. Let them be rewarded for producing a quality product.

Solo Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I have just paid for it on Hobbyeasy and the price with shipment fee (~82 euro) is just a little bit less then GWH Su-35 just after release in the same shop. So I think that kit will be rather expensive, close to the most expensive kits in that scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, do you usually get charged customs fees on top of that? Edited January 21, 2021 by ijozic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In my country custom fees for such small packets is just a lottery, sometime you pay something sometime not, usually I have paid nothing so I hope there will be the same this time.

solher1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Hi, I got my kit today. Wow! Wow! I have to say this is the most amazing kit I have ever owned. The details are simply amazing. If you like the subject, buy one, two or three. You won't be disappointed. My opinion is just based on the details, I can't tell about the fit because I haven't built it yet, but I believe it is worth what I paid for it. You don't really need any aftermarket at all, not even decals. Overall is a 10/10 kit. Thanks, Juan Edited February 2, 2021 by solher1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solher1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Of course. But, I will be able to do it until tomorrow night. Juan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ijozic Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) There's an inbox review here with a bunch of photos: https://www.kfs-miniatures.com/1-48-su-33-flanker-d-minibase/ Nice decals, the missiles have those injection leftovers one of which will be difficult to clean up on the R-27 missiles.

salomon Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Can't wait to receive mine, and I don't think there are and miskate on the R-27, do you mean the two circle parts? I saw those on some picture reference on net. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw those on some picture reference on net. Yes, there are three on the bottom side of R-27s and two on the bottom side R-73s, but the ones on R-73s are located on the flat protrusion so they're very easy to clean up. Having said that, the missiles seem to be even better detailed than GWH MiG-29 missiles and they're well aligned so I don't see the diagonal mold split on the missiles (unlike on the GWH ones, at least on my MiG-29 kit).

Sean F Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Having almost finished the Kinetic kit I'm wondering if I should have paid better attention to this thread and waited for the Minibase version. Already from the test sprues in the link above it appears like it would be much easier to assemble than the Kinetic. I do have a lot of paint left over...hum..... 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
