a second su33 is surprising, the german typhoon mh....maybe it's time to add one to my collection.
Think this SU-33 isn´t surprising. IMHO its a predictable step by HM considering their usual split runs policy. Wouldn´t be even surprised its already painted / produced...
But yes, maybe it comes quite shortly after the first release.
Wonder if there are any improvements over the first release.
(the same 17-8301 Phantom only in newer and rather boring 60th Anniversary livery. Posted just for the look of rich JASDF Phantoms stenciling).
2.
See photos above and below - wavy demarcation lines! - on the nose, intakes and ahead of the nozzles
... and you CAN do wavy demarcation lines, HM.
Also, there´s a prominent yellow "Warning" sign on the right side of Vulcan canon under the nose, but this tampo was present already on the first HA1906 release, so should be ok.
First RAAF 452 SQN Spit. Paddy's mount as well. The only defo purchase of the lot.

I'll get the JASDF Phantom (I have them all plus several well built scale models), though it's not clear exactly to me why there's so much excitement about it as it's a pretty dull scheme, stencils or not.
I like the F-35 scheme. Yes, the HM F-35 have plenty of flaws (bumps). But, this is the scheme I suggested in these forums recently and am happy to see HM doing it. And, with a bit of photo etch and bit more squinting, I think these are ok, even though surely something better will come along in terms of F-35 moulds in the next decade.
The RRP price of the skymax devastators is now approaching the USD $100 level. That's insane.
Already pre-ordered the Greek F-16 previously. Should be a big seller.
I just can't buy a HM Me109. Just too toylike and plenty of decent built kits in 1/48 are available.
