salomon Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 it's worth the wait for the KItty hawk's Su-34, the details look really amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsman Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 It is already shipping, I've got mine on eBay yesterday and it is in Chinese post office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxmulder Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Looks good. Now I need to finish Su-35 and Mig-29 I have been working on, to open some space for this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastien Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hi, Fullback received. The box is filled to the brim with plastic (and a bit of resin). I'm not much of a fan of the fuselage design: I prefer GWH's approach, with wings blending into the fuselage. KH's way is a problem magnet... There's a bit of flash (tiny little bit) on the fuselage: The 2 sets of resin nozzles are much nicer than what KH did for their Su 35 (from what I remember of the Flank Offvideo series): The canopy (and all the tiny transparent bits): The decal sheets (the biggest one is for the armament): I hope there is a very special circle of hell for those who design these decals where the screens are lit and full of details you should only see when the plane is flying at 30,000 ft. There's one photoetch sheet for detailing: And four sprues of various bits to complete the plane: I'll spare you the six (yes, six) sprues full of weapons... This looks like a very nice kit (detailing is crisp, fuselage halves seem to mate without trouble, lots of stuff to play with). But most KH's kits are like this. Nice in the box, and entertaining on the building table. Time will tell... Is it a good model? TBH, I don't know, I hope Flankerman will have an answer to that one.

redcap Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Nice review thank you. Mine arrived Saturday and I am very happy with what's in the box. It knocks the HB one into touch in terms of finesse and certainly value for money so I rather suspect we will soon be seeing a raft of HB ones on sale on a certain internet auction site at a price they (should) have been when it was released. The KH kit is a quite incredible package for £52.00 delivered (in just over a week) from China. Is it 'perfect'? well, I leave that to the experts to decide and argue over but for the vast majority of us, I suspect we will be rewarded with an imposing model of an SU-34 at the end of the build.

dreamwriter Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Seeing the canopy bits, I´m wondering,is it possible to build the kit with canopy open? If the question is stupid I apologyze, but I really don´t know how the pilots board the plane! Edited June 11, 2018 by dreamwriter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastien Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Two things: - I'm very sorry for the gentleman's sausage appearing just beneath the flash in the second picture, but that is KH's fault. - What Mr Paint reference should I use for the belly of an eggplant painted Fullback?

Misalignment would mean that at the other side the step is opposite with the back fuselage part protruding: Unfortunately it is the same, meaning that the back part is narrower that the nose part. This is such a let down, considering that it is at such an obvious position. If my second one is ok, I will ask them to replace the part. But I doubt this 😞 Edited June 16, 2018 by DIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The tooling of the top fuselage part probably looks like... I think the problem is that the inner faces of C and D aren't precisely aligned with the inner face of B when the part is injected. It introduces steps on the left and right front fuselage part. The height of the left step and right step aren't correlated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Dedicated intake covers by Kokopelli Scale Designs Sources: https://www.kokopelliscaledesigns.com/blank-1/su-34-intake-cover-for-kittyhawk-kit https://www.facebook.com/KokopelliScaleDesign/posts/375310036294899 Quote Success - Intake covers for the Kittyhawk SU-34 available tomorrow on the site www.kokopelliscaledesigns.com. If you have seen my SU-35 intakes, these are actually nicer as the SU-34 has a slightly more complicated intake geometry that really makes these intakes pop. I included the flat bar grab handles, and the tension handle on the printed part. No assembly required. Just some cleanup and they are ready to go into your Kittyhawk SU-34. A quick and simple enhancement for this already detailed kit. You have to see the detail to believe it's even possible to make it this fine at this scale! V.P.
