Masinissa Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Box art looks nice. Too bad the 3D renders look like an under developed Tadpole that needs more time in the pond to transform into a proper looking Frogfoot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalal Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I hope they do it right. KH has the the habit of cutting corners and hasten the sale leaving kit with some lazy mistakes while demanding a high price and having the modellers exasperated over those sloppy mistakes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like me shape of the nose and the rudder. But the big mistake is to use the R-195 engine. They have other places in the air intakes and use only 50 pcs Su-25BM . I started to work on the Su-25 In October 1989, I was a crew chief Slovak 1027, I was doing and overhaul ,maybe something about Su-25 I know . :) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvy5 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I just hope this isn't finally! UB has a small horizontal stabilizer, and both versions have bad engines. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've already committed to this rendering of the Su-25UB/UBK and will cut molds using this bad information. The issue with the engines has been pointed out months and months ago. I'll wait for Trumpeter/Hobby Boss to downsize the 1/32 kit, or perhaps ICM will decide to add an Su-25 family to their line-up of Soviet jets. There are plenty of examples in Ukraine to measure and get a 1/48 model right. I really don't need a KH kit that then requires $100 of resin corrections.

T/HB usually fixes the issues found in their 1/32 scale kits when they redo them in 1/48. The shape issues with the 1/32 Su-27 were (mostly) addressed when the made the 1/48 scale kit. IIRC the LERX are a little off, but it's a big step up in quality versus the 1/48 Academy Su-27. My hope is ICM comes to the rescue. They made a very good family of MiG-25s and they will retool parts that aren't shaped right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I hope the image with the side profiles is distorted and shortened in some way, or not representative of what the kits going to look like as the front fuselage and intakes look horrific. *Edit. Just noticed the front of the nose is hinged down in the open position for some bizarre reason so not as horrific as first thought, intakes still look a bit too short and fat though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvy5 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Good news!!! I hope KH repairing the errors that were on the renders. Perhaps the problems will not be repeated as it was with Su-17th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvy5 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Just a small detail. According to box art, the UB engine has an R-195. But what is a mistake. Only three UB have this engines. Engine and nozzle R-95Sh in 99% Su-25 .... ... and R-195. The UB version has air intake in a smaller and different place. These are just a first detail that are bad for KH renders. That's why I'm seriously worried, that the model will be bad.In contrast, Eduard Spitfire is an early U/C pump perfect model. 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
