QUOTE(WingNut @ Apr 21 2015, 12:28 AM) 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? Yeah, that's a bummer, and with WW going bankrupt, this is even a bad news. Surely AF1 will up their game in future releases since others are not producing more Russian birds :/

Either one goes to model kit, or succumb to the scalped price for Witty Wings nowadays :/ Or get AF1/Altaya, but with lower QC as compared to above.
