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...
