Sebastien Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 WIP is there: The pics: The Galaxy masks for the canopy, panels, missiles and engine area are extremely helpful. If you intend to build a GWH or Minibase Flanker, get some. The Galaxy masks for the digital camouflage are extremely cleverly designed, and almost idiot proof (I know, I used them). From what I saw, their design is better than the Foxbot ones. While we're talking Foxbot stuff, their decals are excellent. I used them rather than Galaxy and GWH ones when I could. MRP paints are as usual, ie excellent. The kit is one of the best designed kits I've ever seen. Can't wait for the next GWH Flankers (the Flanker B is on its way).

As I said, the Galaxy mask set is quite cleverly designed. You can see on the instructions where the various bits overlap. Once you have put the first bit in the right place, it is really easy to put the adjacent masks where they belong. Cheers, S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrcblade Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Excellent work. Stunning example of a lovely aircraft! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintychops Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Excellent job. You've made it look easy! Despite what you say about the simplicity of the masks, you can tell you've put a lot of skill & effort into getting the model looking this good. The WIP thread was a good read too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Sebastien, if I may ask, do you (or any other members here) know how this kit compares to the Trumpeter Chinese Su-27UB? I've bought that one and it's on its way now. Not sure what I've bought really; is the Trumpeter kit worth building? Thanks for any information! Cheers, Gary 😀 Edited June 23, 2021 by Gary Brantley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Gary 😀 Gary, From what I've found, Trumpeter's Flanker C in 1/48 is quite an old tooling (1999). And Ken Duffey doesn't seem to have much esteem for it... http://www.flankers-site.co.uk/su27surv.htm#48 You can build a pretty impressive model with this kit (a 1/48 Flanker is impressive, period), but detail will be sparse, and I owuldn't bet on accuracy...

Gary Brantley Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Thank you for that Sebastien. 🥂 Well, I only paid around $10 US for it so I don't have high hopes. It won't be first time I fell for a cheap price, lol. Maybe I'll find out if a silk purse can be made from a sow's ear. 😁 btw-Here's the photo that was shown, the only picture they did show of it in fact: Edited June 23, 2021 by Gary Brantley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
