isn't that c130 in 72 scale?

I think that size should be 1/72 scale.
BTW if it was AC-130 is more better.

wah... rmaf got this gunship meh???

Only know AC-130 gunship in 1/72 scale have model kit,
but if want in die-cast... so far only Amercom got 1/200 scale on it...

wait for issue #15 giant warplane collection

comparison between Altaya 1/72 Su-35 and Air Force 1 1/72 Su-35S

with both being around the same price, and if you are collecting Su-35, these two would be a good candidate (if one is lazy to do model kit, like me for the time being )

another offering from Air Force 1 with their camo-ed Su-35S is not recommended (heck even this aubergine colour is tad too dark, but I don't mind) since the bort no is not available IRL (from my understanding), non-camo-ed for the bottom of the plane and overspray issue

will probably get another 1/72 Su-35S from Hasegawa, just to complete it into a 3-plane flight

pictorial comparison for these two planes. as one can see, air force 1 offering is some shade darker though

with that being said, i would applaud air force 1 for giving us tvc and movable tail

^ how much your af1 su35??

btw, just finish my trumpeter su27ub.

not sure whether bort no. 21 exists but the early operational jets delivered to the russian air force has non-camoed belly. only the demo proto 902 has full camo (the paint would've weighed down the plane and provided less flexibility with regard to weapons load). personally, i find the af1's camoed version nicer... although yes, it does suffer from overspray (as do their pak fa). overall a nice model except that little attention has been paid to the underbelly with huge seam gaps between the metal and plastic bits... not to mention the exposed screws. the load out seems to be an afterthought too... all white with a dab of black about the tailfins. will try to post pics of the bird soon...

MYR 230.00
That is a nicely done Su-27UB

From what I can (or can't find) in the net I don't see any Su-35 21 red. Many in forum also agrees that such bort no doesn't exist. I am all for existance IRL With regards on the seamlines, screws, and missiles, those doesn't bother me that much since I won't be looking on that area that much. In any case, I am getting Hasegawa 1/72 Su-35S as well, to match with both of these. Would probably go for aubergine with 07 Red, or if I am feeling ambitious, camoed version with bort no 902

rm 230 nice price.\
color comparison for 07. LOL

yups... here's the list of existing flanker-e (up to feb 2014): http://www.mars.slupsk.pl/fort/sukhoi/su-30-ru-27m2.htm

there are however 12 more to have been delivered in 2014. not sure whether 21 would've been in that fleet... but more likely it would've taken on nos. 01-12 (as per their predecessors). so yeah... probably no 21. even the first 4 spotted different camo than the 902... although there are pics of the 06 in similar camo to 902 rather than the dark grey/aubergine stated in the link. oh well... the ruskies don't post quite as many pics of their jets than the yankees do.

here's a couple of pics to illustrate what everyone's been talking about with regard the overspray and seam gaps...

This most will happen appear at AF1 product...

well, let's hope they improve. it's generally a nice model. and i guess being russian, no "no stop" issues

Russian less use word decal on their plane, except some words we actually don't know what it mean.
US aircraft always have a lot of words decal on their wings.

hahaha... they worry their ppl simply step here and there. have to be iso compliant wor...

With regards to that, let's just leave it there for the time being. Surely there will be bort 21

In any case, without the seam and whatnot, I do find it to be acceptable (or maybe I am contempt since this is one of two Su-35 I have own, without any comparison with other manufacturer/s, such as Witty Wings), personally

hahaha... yeah, "21" looks good. witty doesn't have an su35. i think only altaya has it in diecast and no, i don't have one to make the sort of comparison you did

besides the pitot and blue helmet pilot issue, anybody here got the af1 sr71?

how much u get??
the paint job actually can be touch up.
