Berkut Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 About time. Looking good, the first compressor stage looks intriguing, seems to be done 787 engine style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AlCZ Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I can cheap and accurate Flanker in 1/48 :( (And Pak-Fa).... Trumpeter 1/72 is good and have too early aircrafts.... But looks good... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 A few more photos just received...... Looking good..... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I am jealous :-) I like that they include all weapons and those chocks :-) Are in box also tarmac plates? Please don't envy, Mario. I'll recieve not all model, only few parts, which i need. A little patience - few weeks and Su-27SM will be aviliable from many sources. And BTW, Ken - your wishes during visit to Lobnya (as example about flare/chaff dispensers, which need in declas) were heard, written down and transferred to me. And i'm of course do like you wish.

Jennings Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I can cheap and accurate Flanker in 1/48 :( We used to have a sign behind the counter in the print shop where I worked. It said: PRICE QUALITY SPEED (pick 2) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Well Ken, looks like an accurate Flanker kit in any scale is finally here. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 the first compressor stage looks intriguing, seems to be done 787 engine style. Where are you seeing this??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Everything provided to represent it in-flight (stand, pilot)... great ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ken Upper right corner here Jennings. Not sure if it is for Su-27SM, but dont think it is for Il-62 as that one is not being tooled yet as far as i know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Actually it is details from Dreamliner 1\144, working table of Zvezda's designer - really "Clondike" for modellers. Edited February 28, 2014 by kotey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlCZ Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) And chinese (kit) from Trumpeter is bad ? (But i bought this too - it is Flanker :)) Edited February 28, 2014 by AlCZ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Actually it is details from Dreamliner 1\144, working table of Zvezda's designer - really "Clondike" for modellers. Ah, the part behind the compressor face didnt look very Al-31'ish to me but i wasnt sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 And chinese (kit) from Trumpeter is bad ? (But i bought this too - it is Flanker :)/>) Trumpeter 1/72 scale Flankers are OK - the best so far - until the Zvezda kit arrives. But Zvezda are releasing Su-27SM - so you cannot make a 'standard' Su-27 from it without changing the windscreen/fuselage where the offset IRST ball goes. They are also planning a Su-33 - plus a whole range of Flankers (going by the fuselage breakdown). But..... if Zvezda's glacial release schedule is anything to go by, don't expect anything too soon - so the Trumpeter Flankers still have some mileage. Just my two penn'orth.

AlCZ Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 OK Flankerman, thank you ! I hope in a Su-37 with canards and new Su-34 :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Upper right corner here Jennings. Not sure if it is for Su-27SM, but dont think it is for Il-62 as that one is not being tooled yet as far as i know. Ah, now I see it. Damn, I thought the Il-62M was imminent!
