drake122 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Well, still seems a lot more affordable than the 100 Euro Hobby Boss 48th offering! However, i am secretly hoping Zvezda eventually makes the "definitive" Su-34 in 72nd, super accurate, like they did the Su-33 and Su-27SM...

From what I have heard, the next Su-27 family member that could/should come from Zvezda in 1/72 scale is the Su-30SM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes eBay should bring more reasonable prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 At 3 X the price of the Italeri Su-34 - I'm prepared to bet it won't be 3 X better !!! Ken PS - My Italeri Su-34 build here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Probably not Ken. But given the amount of corrections to apply to the Italeri kit to depict an up to date plane... Now wait and see, it's Trumpeter/Hobby Boss, pretty sure they will have missed/botched some details anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken PS - My Italeri Su-34 build here. I think given the era the Italeri kit was produced in, it surely will be 3x better. I love seeing what you do with the older kits but I am prepared to spend more for all the modern tool bells and whistles. I have the Tamiya repop on hand and have been hoping/waiting for another producer to come along so I don't have to go through the trouble to make this kit stand up next to the hasegawa flankers. Not that it was even within my ability. 😁 The panel lines, the ordinance, and the decals should better the older Italian kit. Now I have only listed three things, not necessarily that they are three times better, but factor in inflation and I think that you can see where the new price is Justified? I will have to order the mig 31, the su-33UB, and this kit to make a nice little set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 33 sprues - 550 parts in a 1/72 kit. So we are buying a weapons set with a free aircraft again? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much -and the aircraft, being from Crumpeter, bit will be worth every cent of free! (And I bet there won't be any BetAb 500 SHPs among the canned bangs neither.)

drake122 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Well, considering their Mig-29 UB version just recently reached european hobby stores (and was released in china in november 2016), is it safe to say another 3-4 months wait time is a real estimate for this? Also, 550 parts -- and if they still manage to omit the hydraulic arms for gear bay doors like they did will all other 72nd Flankers I've seen from them so far -- I organize a riot I swear! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
