Homebee Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Source: http://www.cybermodeler.com/news/avart.shtml A new company - yes another one - called Aviation Art is to release an all new tool 1/48th Sukhoi Su-33 "Flanker-D" (formerly Su-27K) kit - ref.48001. Aviation Art is linked to the famous designer Chris "Zactoman" Wilson from Zactomodels - http://www.zactomodels.com/. Source: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=268873 Quote QuoteQuote name='Zactoman' Hmmm, what have we here? An all new tool 1/48 Su-33 Sea Flanker!!! Late last year I was approached by a new company, Aviation Art (temporary working name(?)) to help develop their first kit (rather than make resin correction sets for it :P/> ). It's been a real pleasure working with such a talented team. :worship:/> I am looking forward to doing much more with them in the future. These CAD drawings are not final. There are still changes being made. I don't have an estimated release date yet. I'll update as I find out more. Remember, HobbyBoss is supposed to release in 2014 a 1/48th Su-27 "Flanker-B" kit: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234932992-148th-sukhoi-su-27-flanker-b-by-hobbyboss-in-2013/?hl=flanker V.P.

Rizzo Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Something about this aircraft that really appeals to me, so was hoping it'd get made by someone eventually. I've seen the resin conversions but they look more like a jigsaw puzzle than a model kit. Edited October 12, 2013 by Rizzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wezra Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) oh hell I am so going to be bankrupt by next year or maybe earlier at this rate. I was just about to post about a new too Su-27/33. Though I am surprised by the manufacturer, I honestly expected to hear something from GWH about a new tool flanker in 48th scale, given Haneto's input on the Fulcrum and his impressive work on the flanker, I did think I might be onto something. Who knows with a fair few manufacturers releasing similar kits in similar scales but new tools, not entirely unlikely that we might see other ones have a bash too! I wonder how impossible it would be to make the SU-37 '711' from this? Is selling your children or maybe just putting them out to work early to fund the stash wrong?

The wing aea for the Su-33 is bigger,tail cone difrent,exhaust has to be modified and other small parts. Maybe one day the will come out with a Su-37.

Mark So not particularly feasible I've got the SOL SU-35/37 conversion for the Academy one but do not yet have the skill to use it! A quality modern SU-37 would be epic but hideously unlikely given the extra tooling cost for an aircraft there was only 1 of. Just gonna have to get more skilled and give hte SOL conversion a go.
