AlienFrogModeller Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Which kit is this designed for? It says Academy but which one? Also does anyone know the listing of parts inside? Cheers AFM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seaknight Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 This Sol Set was designed for the Academy SU-27 Flanker B kit. You can use the initial Academy boxing (#2131, or #12270) or the Su-27 Russian Knights boxing (#2167) Also the Eduard Re-Box #1167, as the plastic sprues are the Academy molds, can be used. I had this SOL set in my stash , but sold it some time ago. I can't remember, if there was a parts listing inside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have the instructions and it does show the items for assy but it does not distinguish what parts are kit vs Conversion. That's why I was curious to see if a canopy was provided in the Sol Box.

mrvark Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Academy's two-seat canopy is too flat (IIRC). Fairy Hobby did a vac-u-form correction some years ago, but it now seems to be OOS. Don't let the posted price scare you, $120 HKD is only about $15.50 USD! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I need the Su-27 UB not the B then...utilizing the dual seat config canopy supplied with the kit....correct? I know little about the Su-27 series and am starting to learn...

Seaknight Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I need to correct my first reply. Sorry 😔 Yes, the SOL Conversion is based on the SU-27UB Kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
