smig29ub Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Well I finally got the thing finished. I am very dissappointed with this kit. It falls short of trumpeters previous releases. The kit needs a good amount of reworking and detailing. It looks as though trumpeter rushed the kit to get it on the market and sacraficed quality. But the kit is managable. And in the end I am somewhat pleased with the my finished kit. Let me know what you think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michiel Nijkamp Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Managable???? It think it looks great!!! What are it's shortcomings in your opinion, as you probably know a lot more of it than I do. I know about the canpoy and the cockpit, but what else. I have one here and must say that I like what I see. HTH, Cheers, Michiel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

volzj Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Real nice work!. Yeah, the exhaust looks terrific. A little bit on the shortcomings would be nice. I've seen one built at a hobby shop, it's unreal how big that thing is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt_S Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Good Job! :P One thing I dislike about the kit is the cannon muzzle area. :) Matt :o Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AussiePaul Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 This model is so beautiful, it has made me want to buy a 1/32 flanker. Thanks alot. I'm so broke. More money i have to spend now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AussiePaul Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Oh BTW, can we PLEASE have some more photos?????!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Walker Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Absolutely fantastic looking! You certainly overcame whatever short-comings the kit has. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jan Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Weathering looks great! Can I ask one thing? Please, could you show us, who do not have guts for 1/32 Flanker, how big it really is by showing it on picture side by side with, say, 1/48 Viper? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Massimo Moruzzi Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Impressive! You did a fantastic job on this! Yes, more pics and a list of kit's faults should be very nice. Massimo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skuki Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Awesome!!!! More pictures, pretty please. I like the idea of putting it next to Flanker in 1/48 or any other 1/48 jet so we can see how big it is. What is the biggest fault on this kit in your opinion, beside the canopy. Are you satisfide with the wheel bay area? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smig29ub Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 OK guys, you've forced my hand. I will take the next day or so and do some more picture taking and do a basic review of the build. I will try to get a post on here by weds with the problem areas. And I will get a good picture for size reference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dreammh Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Wow! Its tempting me to start mine! Hey you're missing some cockpit pictures for us! Awesome!!!! More pictures, pretty please. I like the idea of putting it next to Flanker in 1/48 or any other 1/48 jet so we can see how big it is. What is the biggest fault on this kit in your opinion, beside the canopy. Are you satisfide with the wheel bay area? Well, take a measuring tape and put out 70cm. Put it beside a 1/48 F-16 (which is pretty small even for a 48). Its so big, I am planning to get a new shelf, just for it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KRI76 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 This is BEAUTIFUL Flanker! You should be VERY proud of it! It´s great to look at! As others have already said the exhausts look great: very realistic! Please show more pics, or even better write an article and tell us how you did it and where you found the problems to be. /Kristian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
