haneto Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Great Wall Hobby G.W.H L4823 1/48 Su-35S “Flanker E” Air to Surface ver. kit to be released soon. Once again I participated in the designing and painted the samples shown in the pictures. New tooled parts are: KAB-1500L/Kr bomb, Kh-29T Air to surface missile, Kh-31AD Anti-ship missile, AKU-58 pylons and BD4-USKM pylons, all comes by a pair in the box. Especially to be noticed that Kh-31AD is the very first time to be done in 1/48 scale ever, by any material. Includes 2 eggplant grey schemes and 1 tricolor camo scheme. Enjoy!

Could you share the colors you used if you dont mind. I agree. As usual, your paint work is just beautiful, especially the bare metal surfaces on the fuselage and missiles. The Kh-31ADs are especially nice. I was going to point out that Aerobonus makes a 1/48 KH-31, but it does not appear to be an AD version which is longer than the A.

Yes Aerobonus made one 1/48 Kh-31, but it was not AD and unfortunately its shape and detail is terribly wrong... Edited August 13, 2019 by haneto typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Ok now I'm going to buy one. I've been wanting to do an in-flight egg plant Flanker-E for a while and now this one has sold me. I dont even know but does the GWH kit come with a pilot or no? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know no pilot for this one, or in other words besides weapon all plastic is same as the initial release L4820. But the new Su-27 family kit shall have seated pilot as standard parts, so there's hope... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flybywire Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I'm not an expert in this fighter jet, but isn't it the kit is sitting quite low as the missiles are almost touching the ground on the finished kit shown? Just wondering..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Walker Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Well, You certainly know how to build and paint models! very lovely, clean work. Thank you for the thread that you did earlier on the build and painting of the Su-35. It is an invaluable resource! Re the Su-27, having built both the Kittyhawk and GWH Su-35's, I will be waiting patiently for the GWH kit to arrive. Without a doubt, it will be the benchmark Flanker in "any" scale!

With the help from many true aircraft experts like Gabor who gave great help on the Su-35 project, the GWH Su-27 will definitely hit another high level or aircraft model kit research!

haneto Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Here is the payload configuration for the kit: Instruction sheet cover, with Gabor and my name on it :) Kit content: Painting schemes: "Red 03" and "Red 10" converted to late type(chaff dispensers on the bottom side of tailboom) They are quite weathered so weathering guys shall be happy to choose these eggplant schemes. "Blue 25" with typical late type tricolour camo: Shall be on shelf in October (later September in China domestic market). Yufei Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 It is interesting to see production aircraft in the dark grey "eggplant" scheme. I thought that that was originally only on some early airframes with the old style stinger that had the upward pointing flare dischargers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The "stinger" was updated for modern (downward) standard on all early production Su-35S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
