Hi All,

After reading the reactions on my last post about the Tamiya F-14 I decided not to buy the kit. I have choses a new subject, it's the 1:32 Trumpeter SU-27. To be honest I am not a big fan of Trumpeter after building some of their armour and ship kits so I need an expert opinion on ther SU-27. By the way, the kit appears to be 698 mm long. That must be a typo, right?

Can anyone help?

Regards,

Matthijs

I saw one at a model show and it is huge. It also appeared to be well detailed the fact sheet on the model showed it was built stright from the box. I was impressed.

Since it's the only game in town (I think). Grab it! It has a few issues on the air intakes and the canopy, but that could be easily fixed by warm water.
