After I was badly disappointed by the Revell 2020 newslist a couple of minutes ago, this is really good news! 

It seems, that the jet modellers have to rely on the new manufacturers from Far East for really new kits, rather than the classic ones, like Revell, Hasegawa or Airfix. And there is another one announced by Kitty Hawk.

 

Looking forward to the new G.W.H. Su-27UB!

I was hoping the single seater would be released first. Never was partial to the hump back look of the dual seat versions. Personal preference. Anxious to see how it comes out none the less. Considering their Su-35, I'm sure this will be a winner.

Same reasons as Mstor, it's also my personal preference to build single-seaters, one cockpit is good enough for me, don't wanna double my workload. 😁  Unless of course there is no single-seater for that particular jet like the F-14. Also, never considered double-seater much better looking than single-seater.

In most cases I prefer twin seaters than single ones :) I hate the step with making cockpits but the effect is worth it!

As I think of it I can't remind many single seaters I like more than twin ones. Maybe Harrier?

I hope we see  test shots soon!

 

I hope to see model ready to ship soon - this weekend I expect to start MiG-31 and afterwards I planned to build Su... Especially that between release and arrival to European shops it takes at least extra month.

I like twin seater A-10. Maybe F-16B look odd, but F-16 is generally ugly construction so can't say it look much worse than single seater.

I really count on this one to appear pretty soon 🙂 It's only 1 month till spring.

 

Bro are you really calling the Viper ugly???
