Sebastijan Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Zvezda released some CAD renderings on social media of their next Flanker kit in 1:72, the much wanted for Su-30SM. The TVC and canard equiped -30 line will appeal to many modellers, being used, besides the Russia, in India (30MKI), Malaysia (30MKM) and Algeria (30MKA), as well as carrying some cool prototype markings. Expected release is 2019. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Good news about this flanker variant. As as well as the countries already listed, I’m sure Kazakhstan now operates the Su-30SM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neffan01 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Super ! Very good News ! 😀 Hope the next will be the SU-37 T-10M-11 1/72 .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Nice! Have to get one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I've only been waiting for this for 16+ years since I first saw the MKI prototypes. Count me in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beingthehero Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 If Kotey is reading this, what markings do you have planned for the kit? I imagine one of the Flankers that took part in Syria is a given! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
murad Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Now that's already looking gorgeous in cad shots, can't wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Wrong scale! :) I couldn't resist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But anyway it will be several RuAF schemes, i hope Su-30SM from Syria too. Malazina, Indian, Algerian - i'm afrain will not include - its have different stencils. And BTW - model still in design, weapon list not finally yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 If Zvezda has any sense (and they seem to be pretty sensible) they wont be making T-10M. It is not a Su-27 with canards on, it would basically need to be designed and tooled from scratch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 As i know Zvezda havn't plans even about Su-30M (MKI) , so i doubt about Su-37 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 That's a shame about Zvezda not doing any Su-30MKI/MKM/MKA etc variants - a missed marketing opportunity I think. Apart from the MAWS/LWA systems on the MKM.......... .... the airframes aren't that different. You would probably need different cockpit panels (decals) and of course colour schemes (and decals) - but you could get at least FOUR variants out of the one set of moulds... Shame. Ken PS - FWIW, my conversion of the Heller Su-27UB into an MKI & MKM are here. I also did a Su-30SM using the Trumpeter Su-30MKK ..... Decals kindly supplied by Kotey - full build here .

neffan01 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Too bad that if Zvezda from RUSSIA does not produce SU-35/37 and SU-30MK/MKI... Because one day, another will do it ...For example : Modelsvit, A & A or a Chinese manufacturer ... Why not Hasegawa for "yellow 13" 🙄 Edited October 23, 2018 by neffan01 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Su-35S - maybe yes in future, early Su-35\37 - i don't think so. About Su-30MKI\MKA at my look it will be small resin upgrade sets form any producer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 As long as that producer supplies decals - for all 3 variants...India, Malaysia and Algeria. I used decals from my spares box for the MKI and Zotz decals for the MKM - but they are now difficult to obtain. It would be good if you could do all the versions Kotey ....... - even if Zvezda don't do the kit. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm start work about two decals - "Su-30s from Irkutsk" and "Su-30s from Komsomilsk", but one small priblem - i have nothing about stencil for all export Su-30s - so it will markings and stencil for RuAF aircrafts and only markings for export aircrafts.

SebastianP Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 This is fantastic news, I can't wait to get my hands on these. My only sorrow is that Zvezda molded the top half of their Su-33 in one piece instead of split like the Su-27SM (and most likely this kit) - it will probably take much more surgery than I'm willing to attempt to do a proper Tomcatski with a tandem cockpit and folding wings.... I do hope a non-canard Su-30 with the refuelling probe and offset IRST is in the cards at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bartkoh Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I highly recommend the Su-30MKM conversion set from Naz Model Arthttps://www.facebook.com/nmascalemodelszone Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, at the moment the only kind of aftermarket products I'd expect to even fit this kit would be weapons, since it can most likely be safely assumed that it will have the same stores stations as the Su-33 and Su-27SM kits, anything else is pretty much up in the air at this point, especially since the Su-27UB twin-seater isn't out yet AFAIK.

Actualy, Naza also makes 1:72 conversion for Trumpeters Su-30MKK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hemspilot Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I have the 1/72 Naza conversion and it's quite nice. I was planning to use it to convert Trumpy's MKK to a more appealing configuration. Or to use the TV nozzles and a SAC Su-35 landing gear to convert ICM's bird.
