Hello dear Homebee...i never said that you offended me...and as i texted, i respect your opinion!! I just informed that each box art has new challenges and some of them are not so succesfull than others!! Even the best in everything have mediorce performances!! However for some reason the picture you uploaded in the begining of this topic, is looking strange with blur symptoms and bad colouring! Unfortunatelly,i do have a better image, but i do not know how to place it here!!! All the best!!!! Kostas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am curious that my tongue-in-cheek comment caused such a reaction - but Homebees similar observation did not - we were both pointing out that the artwork did not look quite right - certainly not one of your best - as you acknowledge. Regards Ken Dear Ken, your comment was not similar to Homebee's i think...however not hard feellings! I respect anybody's comments!! Everybody has the right to comment here...even in a cheeky way!! Propably i was over reacting...not understanding maybe your intention!! I work as a box artist for Trumpeter and Hobby Boss 7 years now, and i had undertaken a lot of difficult works...and hard critisism by many....who most of them were not even modellers!! Have a nice day!! Kostas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw it at my LHS about 2 weekends ago. I think several of Chinese model companies including Trumpeter, HB and Kitty Hawk shipped out their new kits a couple of weeks ago so that modellers wound not have to wait till the week-long Lunar New Year holidays were over before getting their kits.

Dudikoff Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The front canopy looks like the one on the Trumpeter's 1/32 twin-seater - too narrow and pointy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Picked up this kit today at Wonderland, a nice looking kit with some fine engraved and raised detail. I did however forgot that it only comes with options for 2 Chinese airframes. Does anyone know of any decals in the pipeline for modern Russian schemes?

exdraken Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Take care everybody! There are gardly any Su-30 without canards in Rusdian service! Only dome unsold examples used as trainers. Exavt designation escapes me at the moment.... You would basically need 3 colored stars an numbers.... Edited June 24, 2017 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(all taken by me at Zhukovskiy) ..... and a Su-30MKK built for China/PLAAF but retained by Sukhoi as a demonstrator (hence the 'Su-30MK' designation without the final letter K (meaning Kitei/China)) I think the RusAF Su-30M2's are ex-PLAAF airframes that were never delivered and have been inducted into Russian service Ken 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
