bentwaters81tfw Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Trumpy and HB seem to be tied up with each other, so why not? Same as the Kriegslok - Trumpy in 1/35 and HB in 1/72, and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as the Kriegslok - Trumpy in 1/35 and HB in 1/72, and others. True. Same with the Mig-31 it seems. The weapons load options are similar already between the 1/48 and 1/72 Su-34 instructions.

Based on sprue shots and the instructions sheet, the Mig-31 is definitely just a scaled down HB... complete with all the small inaccuracies. I'm pretty sure Su-34 is the same.

Ken PS - My Italeri Su-34 build here. At the time, effort and money invested in the extras on your Su-34 I'd say the price tag of the new kit is exactly where it should be. I already have the masks, some etch pieces, wheels pending, decals, AM resin set for the stabs, slats, flaps and wheel wells, and that already HAS made the positively pathetic Zvezda reissue of the mediocre (at best) Italeri kit too expensive for what it is - that is the ONLY reason I would not fork the bucks for the new one. And all of this ??? (I don't really know how to classify it in a politically correct manner) about the nose - 1) I have yet to see a close enough perspective comparison between the kit itself and a photo of the real deal, and 2) when the 48th scale kit actually showed up the entire affair rapidly subsided. So if the 72nd scale kit is a scaled down HB kit it should already be resolved. So far nothing as drastic as the Su-24MR to see on the -34 kit. At 4 times the price of the e.g. Zvezda MiG-31 - I am willing to pay that premium despite having 2 complete -31 decal sheets (both 1 and 2, though not the kit itself) by Begemot. The R-40s will go directly onto the ICM MiG-25PD. The "correct" resin R-33s from AM alone would set you back about half the price of the Chinese kit - not speaking at all of the ridiculous pylons, "adapters" and remaining "missiles". Plus they (MiG-31 and Su-34) are both quite the handful of plastic. I simply have seen neither Trump kits up and close yet, but oh well - I've waited a dozen years, a couple of months more will not really make a difference. Who knows, I might end up buying the 34 as well - 500 kits or 501... Edited March 5, 2017 by pgp000 Double post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platypus Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) So pretty much the 1/48 HB Su-34 scaled down? Oh well, at least we know the mistakes with the nose. Edited March 7, 2017 by Platypus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That photo is of an early prototype Su-34 - with a detachable crew access ladder. The production version has a neat built-in ladder permanently attached to the nosewheel leg - with a 'step' on the anti-FOD guard........... ..... it looks like it is provided in the Trumpeter/HB kit.

Uncle Dick Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Right then - thats done it no step on the front undercarriage anti FOD guard - absolutely useless, unbuildable! except in flying configuration 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyboy72nd Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I have a funny feeling, no it's not the beer, that it is also on the etch sheet from Olimp - Ossetia Warrior. It looks like, from the pic above, it has a somewhat rectangular piece that goes forward and has 'mud' holes in it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the mudguard indeed. But on top of it, there is a step on the real aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiG-Mech Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Eduard is doing a wheel set for the 1/48 Su-34 incl. a mudguard with the step. Maybe Eduard is doing it in 1/72, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVW Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Dear all, Armory AW72045 wheel set has a nice mudguard incl. step, see below. Some cleanup of excess resin is required. On my opinion it looks well against Ken's photo. Regards, Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even in this scale, it will look a bit flat; the Armory set is the way forward -cheers Martin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dick Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Still quite a few differences between photo of real thing and resin mud guard unless there are variations in the real mud guards (different production batches?) No central spine on upper half on real thing No rectangular support latch plate on right hand side just below the lip on resin mud guard Vents strakes are too narrow on resin mud guard - looks twice as wide on real thing Edited April 15, 2017 by Uncle Dick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine should be arriving in a week or so, I'll get a better idea then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
