Fighting Eighty-Four Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) I noticed on FB today that Kitty Hawk posted a pic of the many Sukhoi kits they currently make and are planning for the future, and one picture REALLY caught my interest... It appears they are planning on doing the Su-30SM, which is the one aircraft I have most wanted to see made in 1/48. Pretty excited by this, as KH's Sukhois have been pretty good so far. 2nd row 2nd pic... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2376754182583193&set=gm.659681941167854&type=3&theater Edited July 17, 2019 by Fighting Eighty-Four Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Great news. I am very happy that both Great Wall Hobby and Kitty hawk working on flanker variants. The weapons may have potential too.

Specter1075 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The SU-30SM is of most interest to me too. Cold War Studios is doing a conversion set for one of the Hobby Boss Flankers (The MKK maybe?) So one way or another, the future should be happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Kittyhawk's SU-27UB is getting closer to a release date too.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsman Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) I hope (well, not much actually) they won't forget IFR curtain mechanism. So far it is available from Aires only in 1/32. Edited July 17, 2019 by Helmsman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tapchan Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Also noticed, waiting for both of them (UB and SM). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fighting Eighty-Four Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Well, it is official! Boxart for the Kitty Hawk Su-30SM was posted by Song Wang of Kitty Hawk on the Kitty Hawk FB Group... Although, I am a bit disconcerted that the boxart calls it a Flanker-C when in fact it is a Flanker-H. But I am sure that will be fixed for the release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsman Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Let them mess up the box but get the plastic right 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Remind me again what the difference is between the SM and say the MK or MKI? Can one of those be built from it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
