Yeh, such a large amount of armament; some 'em will come in handy for my Su-24 kit, especially all 'em bombs (as tho the Trumpy Fencer weren't yet another set of weapons with a kit included). Those BetAB 500 bombs look so sexy! 18 minutes ago, exdraken said: the plane also looks nice maybe HAD's intake cone/ splitter and some alternative decals Syria maybe ?? Uh-huh... The intake shock cone is a must. Me's not yet made up my mind whether it's goin' to be an Ucranian bird or nay, but soma alternative German markings would be noooiiiceee... 18 minutes ago, exdraken said: -double post....

Oh, but never mind; as of yesterday, I was told by the mods that my quasi-pirate sort of English will no longer be tolerated on this forum. Irritating the members for almost 8 years on this awesome forum ought to be enough. Couldn't help but feel identified with this scene on Dodgeball...

Dudikoff Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Cybermodeler has their own build log. It seems to go together rather well for them apart from the known fuselage caveats. Edited May 7, 2017 by Dudikoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now just waiting the HAD resin mach cone to close the fuselage. Use your brain, forge your own experience, make your own judgement and don't be influenced by your prejudices and all what's written here and there about the KH kits. V.P.

colin Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 It go's together well that way, but still some awkward seam clean up to do.I know people will say 'but that's modelling'. But I'd personally rather not do it just because Kittyhawk thought stuff the modellers this is easier for us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, well said, but,as you said, when using your grey stuff, (mine in this case, not very heavy I admit ! ) , it still looks more and more like a very well shaped banana (Split). But, anyway , modelling bananas is still modelling, isn't it ? Just wondering if the KH plastic has got the flavour ? Very nice effort and as long as you get pleasure and satisfaction out of it ... that's what counts at the end. Madcop; 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've given my Kitty Hawk shock cone surplus part - now that I've acquired the new HAD resin correction one - an abundant layer of mornay sauce with a good sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, which I next baked for aprox. 15 minutes on medium heat, and it all still tasted of molten styrene with a twist of an Oriental-scented release agent stuff. Awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvy5 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Have you noticed the missing racks in the kit? For the KKR version it's OK, but for other variants, missing two racks! Racks D1 and D2 are for pylons D73,72,34 and 35. A really high-quality model!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
