Let them get triggered, it's actually an awesome kit.
It is a very nice kit. Not sure what happened with RUclips. The video is crystal clear on my PC. On RUclips you can’t see the detail on the plastic. They must have throttled down the image quality. 🙄
I was surprised that there is no raised detail on the instrument panels which you normally get in this scale, orherwise a nice kit which I have started building.
Let me know how it goes together.
I think the problem for most is the manufacturer being russian, not that the subject of the model is russian.
Hi.
Versions 1 and 2 in the instruction beginning is just open canopy and gear down (on the ground) and closed canopy + gear up (in flight) while we have 3 schemes in the decal.
Weapons are the same for all versions and are copy of MAKS-2019 airshow loadout (2xB-8V-1 20 rounds rocket pods + 12 x 9M121 Vikhr supersonic ATGMs or 16 x 9M120 light supersonic ATGMs + 4 x 9M38VM Igla-V SRAAMs).
Of course real life (SVO in Ukraine) loadouts are different.
Good info, thanks
@@RWHobbies welcome.
Decal option 1 is a real life SVO craft btw (white huge Z letters on sides and the belly are omitted by Zvezda, for export reasons maybe).
The most popular real SVO loadout is 2 x PTB-450 drop tanks (inner pylons) + 1 x B-8M-1 rocket pod (port or starboard middle pylon) + 4-6 9M120 Vikhr (opposite middle pylon) + 4 x 9M38 Igla-VM SRAAMs (outer pylons). Nicely weird looking asymmetric loadout.
Begemot produces HUGE decal set for Ka-52 (prototypes through Syria to SVO) without any omissions :)
@@gadeeshi If/ when I build this I may hit you up for advice. As I have zero knowledge of this aircraft.
@@RWHobbies will always glad to help.
Are there color call-outs throughout the instructions (like the interior for example)? Or just the exterior? Neat kit.
Yes sir, I just checked the instructions.
Lol. A "stop war" sticker on a model of a military vehicle? Isn't that the modeling equivalent of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs? :)
It's not Zvezda, it's Polish distributors deviations :)
