Hi Sabastien I just hope that Spencer will have the nerve to stay this "gentleman" during the build with the camera on ! I think his "preambule" means a lot more than what we actually hear. Let see now now how he will react when assembling the kit and fighting with the fitting of these beautifully looking parts. Anyway I can't imagine him loosing his temper just for a box of plastic runners. Looks like he is tempted by skipping the difficulties ( correcting the undercarriage position, air intake arrangement and lower central fuselage ) and concentrate on the making up of the OOB model...we'll see... I am quite sure that with his talent all these points won't be that visible. But as a modeller I still prefer the way Laurent's has chosen. The fun is where we want him to be !

KH is an acceptable kit (good actually if you're used to dry-fitting and preparing parts) and an acceptable model (under fuselage profile issue can be fixed or even ignored as it won't be visible once the kit is built). Sry but I have to disagree with you. KP is not too bad model and KH need to fix a lot of inaccuracies. For some time I worked with Su-22M-4 so I know a bit assess. On Sunday I started to build KH and I am very disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, y'know me respects harvy5 for bein' a clever model builder; have seen soma his builds 'n' he knows the ropes. The only thing me could think of ye old KoPro kit - compared to 'em new Kitty Hawk - would be that 'em former would only come very useful in order to fix that lower central fuselage issue on 'em latter, but just that. Still haven't tried to see whether - or how - that part would be grafted onto 'em newer kit, but it might as well work, methinks. Then again, I also know that Monsieur Laurent! has always been well aware of all of 'em inaccuracies 'bout the nose, windshield, cannopy 'n' spine on the Smer/KoPro Su-22 kit. Me agrees that he is darn right with regard to the old Smer kit bein' awful on that department. Difference is plain for all to see on the above piccie, I mean. Yeh, me does. @ Harvy5: Whut aspects on 'em KH kit have ya been very disappointed 'bout? Could ya please elaborate on whut the undercarriage position needs to be corrected?

azzaob Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Looking forward to seeing what Stenka [Cold War Studio] finally comes up with for the KH Fitter. His stuff has got better and better with each release. The MiG-23BN correction set is superb value [21Euros] given what is included:resin, etch, canopies and a disc of high quality pics. Impressive. Hope the Fitter update is of similar value/quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visibly dividing the mold too much dents on the surface. Surface detail version M-3 or M-4 are both 30% OK. Bad minimum angle wings. Surfaces should be rescribing because when repairs will lose all the details. He needs a lot of correction sets, so its price will rise. Work as much as the old KP but for the same price I have 2xKP with correction sets. If not mistaken, it is now 2017 and is already short runs are better made. In the mid-90th years, I'd say it's a great kit, but not today. I talked with colleagues who also worked on the Su-22 and have the same feelings.

Too bad when recently released kits need a lota resin correction bits, but even when ya get two KoPro kits by that Price, ya won't be able to correct the whole forward fuselage section on that kit, although ya melted it down completely 'n' then rebuilt it from scratch. Realised 'bout 'em issue in that kit nay 'til Monsieur Laurent! pointed it out to me by makin' a comparison to Armin's build. If me recalls correctly, that was while he was buildin' the Italeri kit; here: Realised that 'em KP kit was kaput before startin' buildin' it.

According to drawings, which I have from the Russian author's forward fuselage KP is OK, and KH has a bottom section of the nose bad. KP problem is bad angle of the windscreen. Look here Sry but nowadays I expect a good kit. When KP just add some details but at the KH must first remove and then add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP problem is bad angle of the windscreen. Sorry but nowadays I expect a good kit. When KP just add some details but at the KH must first remove and then add Harv, me's taken a good look to both yer 'n' Werner's build threads; there's sumthin' on 'em KoPro forward fuselage, windshield 'n' canopy which looks wrong to me. It's kinda a shape issue that gives 'em KoPro kit a "truckish" look on its forward fuselage to an otherwise elegant shape which me sees it present on 'em real thing 'n' Pity Hawk kit. Also, mind ye, there's nay way one could eva trust scale drawings on any specific subject. Gone the wrong way 'bout that myself more times than me likes to remember. Wing thickness is also an ugly MoFo on 'em KoPro kit, compared to the new Kitty Hawk kit. I ain't wholly happy 'bout the Shitty Hawk kit; I hate to have to buy aftermarkets to correct such a recently released kit, but then again, I can hardly remember a kit that I've built that didn't need the purchase of a certain resin bit in order to be made better. Howeva, concernin' to 'em looks of the forward fuselage-windshield-canopy area, me's very happy with 'em Pretty Hawk kit. 14 hours ago, harvy5 said: A bug in camouflage and assembly instructions ... just two examples, camo blue 07, the right side was really empty?

It's teemin' with horrors of all sorts. Soma the birds show camo paint on "they're" exhaust shrouds on one side 'n' burnt metal on 'em other. Call M4 to an evident M3 variant 'n' an SPPU-22 to 'em KKR-1 reccon pod 'n' one other armament me can't recall. 8 hours ago, Laurent said: Here. Monsieur Laurent!
