Well: - Kinetic did not announce a Su-34, Kitty Hawk did - kit features prediction based on previous releases is somewhat questionable: things change, producers may have access to ressources they didn't have access to in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously mañana is the word of the day, or they don't want the business. They might sell a few at £75 seeing it's £120 over here. Not good business. Their 'bank transfer' screen is in Portuguese and gives no account numbers, so there is nothing I can do until they wake up. They´re are doing some remodelling in their facilities, that´s problably why they still haven´t answered. Normally after you complete the purchase they send an email with the account number or paypal information. Try giving them a shout on Facebook, search for Bigcat Modelismo.

bentwaters81tfw Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Had an update from Portugal - apologies for delay, shop being refurbed. They can't give me final details yet as it's still preorder status. Watch this space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMP2 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Good to see a bought kit nose photo. Does look a bit off, but hopefully an easy fix. What we need now is a scale profile pic of the real thing next to the HB plastic and see whats what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Superbly crude MS Paint cutout on top of an unknown accuracy line drawing looks like this.... Which looks rather bloomin close quite surprisingly. Im sure somone with Photoshop and a less beer driven mouse can do a far better job... I got the line drawing from here - http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/modernplanes/sukhoi/47247/view/sukhoi_su-34_(fullback)/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a little "pointy" and its all good I reckon. Seems to me theres far too much being made of it, but I could well be wrong. An overlay (thats better than my effort) will reveal all... cmon guys! 18 hours ago, Robotics said: Filling skills..? What do you mean? i just think it's a great kit. I meant regards the panel lines. Sanding required there anyway, so with a bit of luck some successful (fairly minor I reckon) reshaping shouldnt be much bother. Agreed, theres a tonne of plastic in that box, the weapon selection is great to see for the 34 as well as the spares stash. I really want one once prices have settled.
