Great Wall Hobby G.W.H L4827 1/48 Su-27UB “Flanker C” Heavy Fighter


Recommended Posts

Maybe I have been lucky but I have used the 7xxx series with no problems.  I have used the Mig-29 colors, Su-27 and recently on a Mig-31M.

In addition to that, I almost never use primer prior to paint.

 

However, I recognize that the 6xxx series spray better.

 

In general, I prefer lacquers or enamels over acrylics.

Like I said, maybe they have improved the formula...but they lost me as a customer for the water based "7 Series".

Yesterday, I got the GWH Su-27UB as a christmas gift from my parents. I must say, what a gorgeous kit! To my opinion one of the best, if not the best 1:48 jet airplane kit until today!

 

I know, that several ARC forum users where involved in the R&D process of this kit. You really did a wonderful job together with GWH and thank you very much! 👍

That's why I'm  patiently waiting for GWH F-14!

Received my kit. Wow!

Somebody has posted this one: https://youtu.be/RNPljNqUecE

 

this is very helpful, from this year, showing the 100. noticeable: a lot of paint repair work

So if I wanted to do this guy, which laquer series AKAN set should I buy? I've been using their acrylics for a few years, but agree that adhesion is a problem and I need to switch to the lacquers. 

 

Thanks so much, and hope everyone has a good holiday (as best you can during the 2020 dumpster fire).....

Thanks for the photo! Awesome. I probably won't weather mine, even though the actual plane is well worn. I like my flankers new and shiny. 🙂And also because the older I get, the lazier I get and can't be bothered to do the extra work lol. 

 

Can anyone recommend an AKAN lacquer set that matches the camo for 64? 

 

Thanks....!

I got two kits, the one I got from Sprue Brothers today is fine, the one I got from Lucky Model has the same problem as described by Helmsman above.

 

Easy fix, I don't know.

Preordered mine from AMMO MIG (Spain) in October and received it today. First check went to the armement and to my relief, everything is O.K.

Preordered from MIG too. Package was sent 18th even tho I requested them to send it in January. Tracking is not working at all. I'm away from home until 3rd January and afraid the package will be returned or go missing if my neighbour pick it up...

Depends where you're living. Mine was also sent on the 18th of december and I was informed on the 28th through PostNL tracking system that my parcel would be delivered the 29th between midday and 4.30pm. Can't you still choose a "Pick-up" point instead of your address ?  Hope you can get in touch with the Agency who should deliver your parcel....

Good luck.

Hi All,

Just  thought I'd jump in here to add my $0.02.  I got my GWH SU-27UB from SprueBrothers in early November, and decided, based on the discussion here on curved missiles, to verify mine.  All of the weapons in my kit are perfectly straight.  

I've read with interest this lengthy thread, and certainly a lot of opinions presented here.  I'm not certain yet whether I"m sold on the multi-part exhaust of this kit, and in fact, if there are ever parts of any jet airplane model that I am inclined to want to replace with aftermarket resin pieces, they are generally the ejection seats, and the exhaust nozzles/afterburner parts.  It will be interesting to see what aftermarket companies do with the exhaust for this kit.  As far as I can tell, no such dedicated aftermarket exhausts have yet been made available (if anyone knows different, please provide some info), but I'll be looking forward to seeing if such aftermarket items can/will improve on the detail of the kit parts.

I've investigated PostNL website and the package has been delivered yesterday... I assume my neighbour from the downstairs picked it up and left it in the staircase. Unfortunately I'll be back in whole 4 days.
