Has anyone heard any news on this, cant find anything on the internet.

I suppose announcement to CADs will take time?

I certainly don't expect it anytime soon, I understand some of the recent releases by Hobby Boss had been in the pipeline for 4 or 5 years before release. Think I'll have time to build the Eduard and Karaya boxing's I have in the stash.

This time we presented the new product that best illustrated MASTER philosophy - details without the compromise! See MASTER AM-48-122 - detail set for Su-17/-20/-22 FITTER family!

My nearly finished Kopro Su-22 is sitting without the pitot's and gun barrels fitted for just such a set! Shame it's not available at Hannants yet.

Looks like they are doing them too (in 72/48/32) and they look rather nice aswell, more money to be spent

They do look rather good though

Got mine last week of eBay from a company in the Czech Republic, all painted and ready for fitting! Great little sets, got a set for the Su-25 Frogfoot too.

Thanks Homebe. I think it's based on "Song"'s CAD when he was still working for Trumpeter. Please Kitty Hawk don't give up your project !

 

 

But "Song" is - or is supposed to be - the current Kitty Hawk (KH) main kit designer, isn't it?

I believe so yes. The front fuselage (windscreen and canopy included) of...
