Ya, detail photo so can see the disadvantage very clear.
Example cockpit can't open, no pilot, all wings are flat can't adjust.
Anyway, still planing for it but sure after CNY.

why not topup abot to get 1/48??

Ya, that why I ask for worth it or not... RM60++ actual price.
If AllScript really will import and translate this magazine into english,
and sell it around RM70~80 only, I sure will wait no matter how long.
But hopefully that is impossible...

or 1/72 AF su 35

Haha, I better stay in 1/72 inline.
And my space limit already.

haha... yeah. this is already a big bird, as it is...

altaya jet some can consider since not many other manufacturer doing the model. but be inform that altaya jet mostly plastic with very minimal diecast metal. it much better than amercom jet and its in 1/72 scale.. the landing gear can be taken out to display in flight mode tho.

detailing ok kah?

Thanks for the review info comrade deathsoul.
If the price drop little around RM120~130 I sure make quick deal without asking.
But seen after found some Altaya aircraft sell at TaoBao more expensive than local,
I still will consider.
And yes, did you have any Altaya aircraft to show us?

i dont have any altaya AC but i seen n feel it.. IMHO.. not worth 190.

i make it simple..

amercom<altaya<terebo=AF1<witty<HM<CW

btw Tiger I have altaya su-25. maybe he can review them.

To be fair, 1/72 Frogfoot is hard to come by in kit form locally. Manufacturers that came out with Su-25 designs in 1/72 such as Zvezda, Kopro, KP, Hobbycraft, Italeri, Revell etc are still inaccurate by the rivet counters' standard. Getting an Su-25 in die-cast alleviate such problem dealing with what could be done to make it accurate (as possible). One could just bought one, play for a while (engine noise optional, but highly recommended), and not to worry of the inaccuracies since one paid quite a dough in getting a die-cast Su-25 and just assume it is all good

And being the only one with die-cast Su-25 compared to other manufacturers, Altaya is okay for what it is worth. The landing gear covers are rather impossible to come out without prying if displayed in flight mode, do bear that in mind. The pitot tubes are rather thick (by scale standard), but I would rather it be a bit thick than those things snapped and flew off by the flick of one's finger

If you fancy ugliness as adowobel, then it should be considered (if could be found locally)

Personally, I am digging those shark mouth decals, it make quite a difference in terms of appearance,

still hoping HM will make SU/MIG family..

Thanks comrade Tiger I. Good review.
And Thanks everyone, I will keep in mind and consider , hope I not a rusher, haha.
Yes, Altaya sure is better than Amercom but worth it or not depend on like it or not.

hehehe... you forgot italeri. i think italeri is below amercom. although better load out, no landing gear and generally detailing not as good as amercom. what say you? and it's hard to put fov in that equation also since their tomcats are cw wannabes but far from it but their superbugs are pretty impressive. so for the fov tomcats, i'd rate it on par or below af1 (although af1 doesn't produce tomcats, but i think you know what i mean in terms of general quality), with the exception of their jolly rogers tomcat which is WAY below italeri as for their superbugs, it's up there with witty, and perhaps up sikit

do give me a heads up if they do. wanted a su-24/25/34 in diecast too
gaincorp is still under consideration for me for the su-34

very much welcome. go for altaya if you could not find the specific model by other manufacturer, or somehow the seller is giving a great deal with low price. i don't see anything wrong with low price

thanks for the review, tiger I!

my take is that being one of those "with magazine" models, i suspect, as what comrade deathsoul mentioned, that it's mostly plastic with minimal diecast too. well, with a retail price of rm60, something has got to give. we had the fighter aircraft collection for rm29.90... so the question is, would you pay 3x the retail price for an amercom model from the fighter aircraft collection? from my personal experience, i think 2x is still reasonable if it's a model you really really like... but 3x is pushing it a bit far. likewise, i'd probably grab an altaya at rm120 max. but that's just me...

the gaincorp su34 is pretty decent, from what i heard... and yes, it is under my consideration as well. but the price...

OK, about Gaincorp Su-34, I suggest don't buy at local, way too high price tag.
Better buy at TaoBao, I did have website for you all if anyone interest.
http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10...&id=41702526318
Without shipping fee is RMB306

And the I give you the local who sell Altaya aircraft, have a look.
