Great Detail in those cockpit shots. Darn near as detailed as the 1/32 Aires pit.

Mr.Gabor,I want to thank you for your answer.Just one question,is this what I have marked the reference point the flaperone of Su-35 or Su-27?I think that is from Su-35,please correct me if I am wrong.It is very important for my reference material.Thank you.

The staff who edit the booklet accidentally used the Su-35 photo on 3rd row.

But the shape/kink is same on both Su-27 and Su-35.

Only the root panel before the kink, the shape is different by -27 and -35.

In places this is only fraction of what I wanted to be included but technology and scale . . .

Hi Brad,

 

I was not there, so have absolutely no idea about this. I think it was more a local annual modelling competition.

 

Best regards

Jumping a little ahead but after all in some cases we modellers sometimes want to see what it looks like and patience is left behind.

 

There are many choices for the modellers. Here is a view of the main canopy in two versions. Everyone can use a canopy which is closest to their liking and needs.

A quick assembly of the ejection seats showing the choice given to modellers. How many time have you seen that the seat in forward and after cockpit have the harness left behind by pilots in exactly the same “arrangement”.

And here is the cockpit with most of the parts fitted to see what it will look like.

Will there be tiny instrument decals provided for the instrument panels like in the MiG-29 kit?

 

I certainly hope so as it was less of a hassle then expected and it worked out great.

I did the research and development of the stencils ( boy, there are hunderds of them, those Sukhoy designers love to leave their "signatures" all over the airframe :coolio: ) and the ejection seat decals. Dont know what will happen inside the cockpit, but would suspect that it should be the same principle as on previous kits. 

 

Best regards

Yes of course there will be complete cockpit decals including instrument panels, small buttons, vents, etc.

You may also notice the instrument panels are recessed so that you can add some clear UV glue after applying the decals, to replicate the glass effect.

 

Those are all calculated during the kit design.

 

Hope it clarifies.

It would be really intersting if this was true since we are still working on some details of the kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the seller is showing is just a box top and the standard photos published by G.W.H. 

 

I would say this is a rip-off. 

 

It WILL be available in the future!

 

Best regards

Glad to hear it's going to be included, thanks for the info.

 

I don't mind painting the cockpit myself if the raised detail provided is good enough, but the instrument faces are impossible to paint convincingly for me, hence why I wish more kits would came with individual instrument faces when they already go through the extra cost of desinging detailed instrument panels.

Amazing details and molding finness ! I have seen many 1/32 side consoles with far less details. When I see this, all I want to do is use my fine brushes and dump Eduard's colored (and way too much pixelated) PE. GWH sure rock !!!

 

Cheers !

Awesome 👌 ! I see no reason to purchase resin seats, the part definition is so beautiful, I cannot see Tamiya doing any better... except perhaps for transparencies.

 

Amazing work !

 

Cheers !

Man, I have generally not much interest in Sukhoï fighters but this level of accuracy or dedication to detail is the reason I will most certainly purchase all of their Sukhoï kits.

 

These are gigantic steps ahead of the Hobby Boss and Kinetic kits which were not bad kits after all.

 

Cheers !
