BOMI21 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It looks like i made a good decision by not buying the hasegawa kit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It looks like i made a good decision by not buying the hasegawa kit... Why ??? Are you assuming that the Trumpeter Su-33 will be better?? - or cheaper??? Don't forget that Zvezda are also doing a new-tool Su-33 as well, although going by their glacier-like speed, it could be many years before it sees the light of day.

Ken I'm just not sure which one will be better Of course I'm taking Zvezda kit into consideration, but I will be able to make a decision when all three kits will be reviewed.

172flogger Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Su-33 is not so interesting. What will be better, Hasegawa, Trumpeter or Zvezda? But a expected Su-33UB (Su-27KUB) from Trumpeter is VERY interesting. First time when this version will be moulded: Bud for me is still most wanted variant canarded version of the Su-30M. There ale hundrets Su-30MKI, MKM etc. used worldwide with canards and thrust vectoring. And we still don't have good kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There ale hundrets Su-30MKI, MKM etc. used worldwide with canards and thrust vectoring. And we still don't have good kit. I agree about the Su-33UB - but I just hope that Trumpeter gets it right. It is totally different, airframe-wise, from a standard Flanker - even from a Su-33. The only thing you could take from a Su-33 kit is the central 'barrel' of the fuselage, plus the undercarriage and fins - everything else is different - including the wings. I also agree about the Su-30MKI/MKM/MKA/SM - the ones with canards and TVC - no kits at all of those variants. And while I am looking forward to the Zvezda Su-27SM, it is a one-off - you can't make any other variants from it, nor can you use any other markings on it other than Russian. It's a bit of a one-trick pony - surely a missed opportunity by Zvezda - they should have given us the definitive model of a Su-27 for starters. Just my two penn'orth.
