Model Forum / General / Models / December 2006Su 27
I recently bought the Begemot 1/72 Flanker family Pt 1 decal sheet and obviously am looking to put the decals on some Su 27's The question is which is the best 1/2 scale kit of the Flanker B and does anyone know of a conversion kit or article for converting a UB or Su 30 into the Su 30 MKI-1 ( with the canards ) ? Thanks in advance for your help Gondor I am amazed that no one has a comment to make about this subject ! Gondor > I am amazed that no one has a comment to make about this subject ! > > Gondor Don't know much about the Su-27 in 1/72nd. I'm not even really sure what's out there, but if you get to choose between Airfix's kit and Hasegawa's, pick up the Hasegawa kit. IIRC it looks really nice in the box and comes with a small etched metal fret for some details. I've got one in the stash somewhere, but it's deeply buried or I'd give you more details on it. Also did a google search on "Haseagwa, Review, Su-27" and came up with this, hopefully it will be useful: http://www.google.com/search?as_q=hasegawa%2C+review&hl=en&num=10&btnG=Google+Se arch&as_epq=Su-27&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_nlo=&as_n hi=&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&as_rights=&safe=off > I am amazed that no one has a comment to make about this subject ! > > Gondor > I am amazed that no one has a comment to make about this subject ! > > Gondor Only Flanker kits I own are in 1/48 and 1/32...  Signature- Rufus > I am amazed that no one has a comment to make about this subject ! > > Gondor I must have missed it the first time around. I had several kits for 1/72nd Su-27s of various marks. I never got any of them built before selling them off but I remember Ken Duffey has a page all about the subject. IIRC, the Italeri kits came out lacking somewhat and the old Revell kit was far of the mark. It was possibly closer to a Flanker-A than a production aircraft. I did have one of the later side-by-side two-seaters (Revell AG, I think) and it looked beautiful in the box. The situation is sadder in 1/144th as the DML kits scale out to 1/163rd instead. Otherwise they seem to be accurate if you accept their odd scale. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > I must have missed it the first time around. I had several kits for > 1/72nd Su-27s of various marks.

Do you or anyone else happen to have a link for that article or if its from a magazine could someone scan it and then send Me the article. Thanks in advance Gondor >> I must have missed it the first time around. I had several kits for >> 1/72nd Su-27s of various marks.

I had to refer to my hard copy printouts to get this: http://www.flankerman.fsnet.co.uk/su27surv.htm That's all I have so I hope that gets you there. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. thank you Bill, that was exactly what I was looking for Regards Gondor >I had to refer to my hard copy printouts to get this: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. Hey, it pays to be a packrat! :) Glad to be of help.
