So I see on Lucky Model that there is a pre order going for the soon to be released 1/48 Kinetic J-15. Price seems not bad for a big 1/48 kit. That is good news and I am glad I waited and did not have to pick up the Su-33 and the conversion set. The box art looks nice but I think my preferred scheme will be that nice pale yellow prototype. Really, how many time do you have the opportunity to paint a military aircraft in yellow :thumbsup:

 

Already have the Caracal sheet so I think I am all set there.

Care to post a link or image of these decals please ?? All I see is this:

... but do decals.  :-(

 

 

 

Kinetic licenced the Caracal J-15 sheet artwork for this kit, so the kit decals are likely to be similar.

Hmmm ... however they are depicting the alleged EW-variant J-15D including the YJ-12 AShMs which is way too small in that CG and overall I don't rate this artist very much reliable.

 

Anyway ... https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7ed64vzoz7egw01/AADpKGEihvN3ayyHYjFgOsHua?dl=0  ... hope it helps.

Ah Yesss, geniale !!!! I successful download them in good resolution, it does not matter to the artist !!! at least it gives an idea of the plane.

a thousand thanks Deino, your are the best

Not J15 actually, the cockpit is still Su33 aging instrument, not glass cockpit.

The windscreen  still has the centremolding line.

Only trade with the carrier working cart and the figures.

 

Not recommend

 

 

Come on ... the wrong cockpit might be an issue but not that bad and what has the "centremolding line" with "not recommend" if the Su-33 has the same issue due to the Omega-shape or is in Your opinion the Su-33 from Kinitec also "not recommend"?? IMO some sort of heavy nit-picking.

?????

 

The Kinetic Su-33 is - at least from what I read - not known as a "not recommend" or low quality kit... so what's Your point? Personnel opinion?

Su-33 kit is one of the best out there. J-15 is quite alright from what I've seen based on pictures, I will order one next week. Not much needed for the conversion anyway. Bunch of pylons, antennas, missiles, cockpit, decals and optional ws-10 engine. Having said that, they could have done a "better" job by including more Chinese pylons and missiles also updating the instrument panel.

That's for sure, esp. the latest YJ-83K would be a nice addition.

Otherwise the WS-10 was so far only tested on one prototype, the serial aircraft all use the AL-31F ... but overall it still does not make this kit "not recommend".
