Recently finished on Kitech 1/72 MiG-25P Foxbat-A
A bad kit, nonetheless, but at least I could learn on how to do filler (which I still sucks at )


Such a big bird, eats up half of one row of the bookshelf (purposely tilt it so one could see how huge it is)

assembly jet cost + paint + time = diecast.
assembly kit more weight, fragile & dint come with stand.

after consider this issue, i better get a diecast.

GAINCORP item quite hard to get, except the latest ver of su34.
btw, my old J-15.

su 35 & 37 from the outlook look alike like su 27 & 33. very hard to tell except the camo paint job.
no love in su 35, but this su 37 camo look interesting for me.

Hi guys... I'm newbie here.. I collect all from Franklin mint 1/48 diecast...

1/72 diecast J31. look simple.

the J31 still a prototype...still in testing period. 

NOpe, just for share. even for  the J20, i dont add him to my list.
Very limited space, i buy the most i like only. 
russia aircraft r dam crazy huge, consume alot space. 

gonna get su 27, 30, 34. & easy model F16 only. 

j10=f16?
j31=f22?

Hi sifus,

Me and a bunch of friends is thinking of buying an aircraft model kit for another friend who loves aircrafts for his birthday.

This is going to be his first model kits. We are quite certain he is too lazy to be bothered about painting.

So the question is, anyone have any good recommendation on model kits that doesn't require painting?

Looking at F-22 or F-18.

I'll look into die-cast then.

His birthday is around late march.

Thanks for the suggestion.

i think rm190 for a diecast su-35 is reasonable but i gotto caveat, i have not seen altaya's detailing and finish. perhaps comrade deathsoul can provide insights since he's the point of reference for all things russian...

strikermac... you only need two considerations, really:

1. you like
2. within your budget

but hopefully some other forummers have experience with altaya to share with you also...

if me i will buy to check how altaya's detailing and finish is. it's not necessarily a conclusive reflection of how they are as a brand, especially if their qc is erratic, and sometimes, it depends on which model/production. like fov for example... the f14s are duds, but the f18s are quite good actually. and besides gaincorp... there aren't any worthy russian diecasts out there, imho.

big photo. look good
