Zvezda MiG / Sukhoi kits

Have you bought any of the new kits?
Su 3X series
Su27
Mig29
Mig21
is it new tooling or re-issues?

The only Zvezda kit I have is the Su-30 and iit’s definitely they’re own tooling, not a re-issue of somone else’s. It has raised panel lines.

how would you rate the kit in terms of fit, details…etc
thanks

Hi thyamis! To be honest, I haven’t yet built the kit so a it would be hard to give a rating on the kit. However,all the shapes are spot on but, overall, the detail is a little sparse. For example, the missile rails have accurate shapes but there’s no detail, not even panel lines. Some parts like the intake trunks and the exhaust cans are thickly moulded. I have seen build-ups of the kit and quite honestly, they do look good. Here’s a link to the Aicraft Resource Center Gallery showing some. http://s96920072.onlinehome.us/Gal-Fea%20Archives/jet_articles/Su-30/Su-30.htm I’ll leave it to you to judge. Finally, I understand that Zvezda’s newer kits keep improving. If you check around on Hyperscale, Modeling Madness and Internet Modeler you’ll find more reviews. Hope this helps.[:)]
