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? What I mean is for Su33, Kinetic did a great kit. J15? It is not good. Just using the Su33 mold, new decals, few missile and pylons to pretend it. Don' t forget there is long time for the kit to come out. It is not worth for the price Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deino Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Could it be that You are just a troll ?? If the Su-33 is a good kit, why should the J-15 be not a good one too esp. if it includes (nearly) all changes? Or do You simply don't like the J-15 so You don't like a kit of it. Otherwise please explain why this kit should not be worth the price if one wants to build a J-15? Edited November 28, 2017 by Deino Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I got the kit. Unfortunately, as I suspected, the kit does not come with Chinese pylons apart from the wingtip ones. The instructions tell to use Russian APU-470s for PL-12s and APU-73s for PL-8s.. Bummer... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solher1 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I’m glad I did not order one. A pity Kinetic couldn’t do more. What about the cockpit parts? What are the options for people who bought the kit already? Juan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Cockpit is the Su-33 cockpit. However, that is not a big deal for me. I am planning to have canopy closed. Number of missiles and especially pylons are bigger deal. Still a very very beautiful kit but could have been better. As shown before it comes with towing tractor which is a nice addition but I do not do dioramas so probably not going to use it.. It also has pilot figures but again I never use pilots in my builds. I guess many people will appreciate these additions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ching kuo Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I wait a future 1/48 S-33 + 1/48 J-15 by trumpeter to see a comparison , released maybe current 2018 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkKnight Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 are the pilots seated, helmets and masks on? visors down or up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deino Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Well, there is another surprise ... the J-15S has finally entered PLAN service Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gwen Phoenix Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Oh, and have Kinetic corrected the shape of the forward fuselage and LERX at both sides of the cockpit area? The difference in shape is very noticeable if you take a good look on the Minibase kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
