Their Su-27UB canopy is the same design, from memory I think they also supplied a standard clear canopy with frame. However the design of the clear canopy and separate plastic frame is a perfect fit, almost clip in.

After a first glimpse some critics:

-missing of a turned metal pitot which should be mandatory at that MSRP.

-deficits in the instructions (missing clear advices for tiny parts, absence of steps e.g. mounting of nose gear constr.), must be overworked completely.

-missing of a conventional hood which is preferred by quite some modellers.

Otherwise it looks to be a GREAT kit.

The ‘B’ arrived this afternoon. I hadn’t intended to buy one given I’ve struggled to do much with my Tamiya kits but for £30 less than everywhere else I’ve seen it I thought why not. 
 

It’s a very nice kit. Probably a bit over engineered for my current abilities with more options than I’d likely make good use of but huge potential for those wishing to super detail. In fact I started work some time back on detailing a Hasegawa kit using the Blackdog and Kazan sets and this kit ironically has all of the modular parts suited to those details.
