Porkbits Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I don't like trashing companies on public forums but... I'll just say politely that based on my experience with their Su-27 nose, I'll have to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porkbits Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Thanks! I'm still learning proper techniques when it comes to sawing plastic (ie, haven't done it much yet), so the large gaps are probably the result of my hack job more than the nose dimensions. I had to sand down the connecting tab bits on the top and bottom of the nose to get the nose to sit flush with the sides of the fuselage, and also sand about 1 mm off of the nose where the front of the canopy meets the nose to get canopy to sit properly. The only quibble I have is that on the other side (ie, opposite of where I took photo), the "seam" line running the length of nose didn't quite line up with the seam line on the fuselage. Again, not sure if bc I did something wrong (probably) or if it's the CWS nose. Regardless, I can live with that vs. having proper nose shape. And, more importantly, I can finally stop worrying about the #@#$% nose and move on with the rest of the build. 🙂 Also, pro tip for anyone about to build: don't follow the kit instructions and install the thin, fragile, protruding landing gear bits at beginning. Obvious, but.....I'm dumb. Broken them off about ten times and I just got started. 😣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Centurion Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 You did well Porkbits! I'm interested in seeing the Aires nose. The install is different compared to CWS but I have to admit the CWS nose looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkbits Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Thanks! I would've liked to have compared aftermarket noses after they were all released and then picked the "best," but I got tired of waiting. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirfixAndy Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Wow ...I got slated by Hobbyboss on their Facebook page for even suggesting the nose looked a bit suspect ......Karma is a bitch !! Still got the kit though KH kit looks really good .........(hides behind a chair waiting until it is safe to come out ) Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkbits Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The KH kit does look nice! Too bad I'm this far along on the HB (CWS nose and tail in place, Vallejo primer and AKAN base coat): Looks like an Su-34? But dangit, if the KH turns out to be not overly engineered like their other kits, might have to get that one, too. Hm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porkbits Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Thanks!! It was a fun--if not totally drama-free--build. I know the load-out is completely ridiculous but....I like a lot of crap hanging off jets. 🙂 I wouldn't mind building another one, but have too many other projects to finish. Ah well.
