Radders Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Nice that... I've just been eyeing this and the new HB Su-27/J-11B up... Think I can see new purchases coming up. Tony T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do335b6 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 I hope they do the SU 7 as well. The fusalage on the 9 is so much better than the old KP SU 7. Radders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Looks great, but, I am left wondering if perhaps the windscreen was glued on about 1/8" too far forward? The step in the canopy opening makes me think that it is.. but I could be wrong!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do335b6 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Nope it fits the combing perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Beautiful model. I am struggling very hard to resist the latest Trumpeter 1/48 Su-9U Maiden and Su-11 Fishpot releases. (If only Trumpy hadn't screwed up the Flagons I'd already have had a shelf devoted to Sukhoi PVO 1960s-1970s fighters.) The forthcoming AMK 1/48 MiG-25RB recce Foxbat may force a retro scale modelling year - the first since 1992 Tony p.s. bitten. I knew 1/48 had to carry a health warning on this site!

Sharkmouth Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 So, how was the kit to build? I have the Su-9U to build for my son. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do335b6 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 The kit goes together great, not like a Trump kit . As far as I can see they have done the 9 and 11 accurately unlike the Flagon kits, The only place that is weak is the cockpit which Red Star has covered the 9 cockpit is out and I am paitently waiting for the Su 11 cockpit so I can start that kit. Overall build is good perfect for Novice builders. Tony T and Sharkmouth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkmouth Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) The kit goes together great, not like a Trump kit I guess you're referring to their earlier efforts. If so, I agree. Fit and engineering have improved a lot over the years and it is accuracy which is hit or miss (depending on where they got their references from). I might hold off buying any more bits for that monstrosity if I were you. Time will tell... Don't tease, if you know what I know let's just say there might be a better kit coming along.

Time will tell...Jennings, tell me straight we're going to get an accurate Flagon. I wouldn't kill for it, but might consider coming pretty close!

Tony T Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I've got a hybrid 1/72 A-Model and Trumpy Su-15TM and balalaika winged Su-15A in progress which look vaguely respectable with the Pavla and Aries radomes, but there's little doubt that a great many sins can be hidden in that scale (which would become unsightly in 1/48 and unbearable if further amplified to 1/32). Really, really also hoping for an accurate Su-15 in either 1/48 or 1/32. Picked up the Trumpeter 1/48 Su-9U Maiden (not sure the real fore and aft cockpit stations are duplicate like the kit) and Su-11 Fishpot on the basis of do335b6's build here and they are very nice. Similar parts engineering as would be expected. Has given a suitable Sukhoi interceptor fix for now. Very pleased about the forthcoming AMK MiG-25RB Foxbat.
