Muzz Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I personally think it seems a bit on the expensive side, I may yet keep a hold of my kinetic example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will agree. Not VERY expensive, but definitely on the expensive side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) A dry fit test with several pics from the instructions booklet. Impressive but a bit over engined to me. Too many small parts. In box review: https://www.kfs-miniatures.com/1-48-su-33-flanker-d-minibase-budowa V.P.

stalal Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Too many small parts that will eventually be insignificant due to being lost or not visible. Looks like another kit company in the spirit of Bronco. Bronco kits also have a high part count. Its not criticism at all. I m excited about this kit and look forward to build it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rui Silva Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'm impressed by the detail of this kit and I'm tempted to pre-order one. I'm about 2/3 of finishing reading the excellent "Famous Russian Aircraft: Sukhoi Su-27 & Su-30/33/34/35" and I've noticed the kit's instructions regarding the options for the infra-red guided R-27T and R-27ET AAMs are wrong according to this book: R-27T/ETs can only be carried on pylons 3 & 4, this is valid for all "Flanker" variants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salomon Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 My order is ready to ship, oh yes. But the trust is that I have so many models to build in the same time and I only can open this SU-33's box and make a personnal review with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Looks like a very nice kit. I think I'll order it when it's released here in Sweden. /Bosse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_Bogus Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I received mine as a belated Chrissy prezzie. My first thought was 'we're gonna need a bigger magnifying glass'. The level of detail is borderline insane. Rather like an Eduard etched fret; will everything get used? If Minibase are setting out to impress, then I'd say they succeeded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The level of detail in the kit is highly impressive and advanced modelers are going to love it. I suspect, and am not sure about this, but the average modeler may find the multitude of tiny and some fragile appearing parts may put the kit out of their league. The kit's gorgeous but not for everyone. Personal thoughts only, not mean to offend anyone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkbits Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 No offense taken! I've been modeling for years, have built several Flankers (my favorite plane), and I'm definitely intimidated. I'm not sure I'll buy this kit, might just enjoy everyone else's build photos lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I am going to put this on my must have list. Question is, does Hobby Easy ever have good deals on shipping? I have used Lucky Models (which will never carry this kit) but never from Hobby Easy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their shipping works out better if you're buying a few kits, but a certain amount of 'playing around' with the order is the best way to find out. Their MENG prices are good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
