drake122 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Well, there we go again. I bet the undercarriage alone will have more parts than a full 72nd scale kit.🤣 Edited November 7, 2021 by drake122 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 This is good to see as it must mean they sold enough on the I last kit the Su-33 to do this one, and that's good news! It means we might have a player that's going to be around and and their last kit proved they put out an astonishingly good product. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I'm glad to see another kit from them. I was beginning to think I'd dreamed their Su-33 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_davros Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 A couple of these will find their way into my stash, to join a dozen other flankers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Let's see! The Su-33 was only available on very limited quantities... at least I did not find one in time, and my sources to go to all seem to have issues re-stocking them apart from being nearly double Kinetic's original retail price... Back to the SM, GWH will be expensive, but I hope way better oob than the now defunct KH... I assume Minibase will play somewhere in this league! fingers crossed, definitely sufficient interesting schemes out there to build one each + SM, Russian AF, dark grey or in various blue shades , + Russian Navy, with the great 3 colored bottom scheme... + Indian MKI ( + prototypes !) + Malaysian MKM, + Kazakhstan SM, + Belarusian SM, + Algerian MKA.... ( 2 camos!) did I forget one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still want an Su-33, the Oxted Model Centre still have them in stock. I can vouch for Pete and he's very responsive on Facebook. https://oxtedmodelcentre.co.uk/product-category/plastic-models/minibase/ Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(what does "In stock (can be backordered)" actually mean?) problem is I live in Europe... I assuem I will get one sooner or later, but without additional 20% import tax plus local toll collection fees on top the UK basically is out of reach currently...as is Ukraine/ RUssia for that matter....

MN-modelar from Czech Republic also has it in stock, it is a very reliable eshop. They offer free shipping to Austria if you buy above 110 Euros or so... and since the Minibase kit is 100 Euro already, just throw in something small and you have it shipped for free, haha.

Sorry, I forgot to reply to this. I spoke with Pete yesterday. It means the product is currently in stock and can be back-ordered if he runs out. If it says 'In Stock' then it is.

Muzz Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Two days ago I was sold on the GWH SM kit and selling my Kitty Hawk one. Now I'm wondering if I should change from the GWH to Minibase, awww what have I become.😫🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsolo Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I started building the Kitty Hawk Su-30SM once I knew GWH was going to do one. I believe it is not a bad kit at all except that it doesn’t have any weapons. It should be finished soon. Now Minibase will make one too, so most likely I will get both too. It is a beautiful aircraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a beautiful aircraft you must buy red fox or quinta studio cockpit 3D decals in order to to what kittyhawk suppose to have done !! it's completely missing in the box you have for the su 27/30 early series jet !!
