Zactoman Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 I am almost finished with Su-27 wingtip pylons for the Trumpeter 1/32 Su-27 Flanker. The kit pylons are off just a wee bit :) With the kit pylons the Archer missiles that Alexander mastered don't fit properly. The rear missile fins hit the bottom of the wings. These corrected pylons will fix that problem. Just a few more details to add and these will be ready for release. The pylons will include details on the undersides in case you want to use them without missiles installed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eastern Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi Chris! Great job so far! The pylon looks awesome! The real thing but 32 times smaller. My Archer will apparently love it! The Trumpy's one looks ridiculous. As they say, feel the difference. Yeah, those Trumpy guys are so inventive. :D I'll post some in-progress pics ASAP but at the moment the most images on my web page are not available due some serious troubles with server. :( I will upload them again soon. APU-73-1D is done, APU-470 is still on the bench, processing...soon be done...ahh, slow progress. Cheers! Alexander. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rafael Winter Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 WOW... a MUST HAVE... I can´t wait to buy the full set :) kind regards Rafael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loftycomfort Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Wow, did Trumpeter screw up the shape big time or what? It's not even close. Yup, sign me up for a pair for my -UB please. Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loftycomfort Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Chris, Since Aires doesn't appear to be interested in making a -UB cockpit, why don't you make one? Please pretty please. It'll make a good companion set for the -UB canopy correction set. Just a thought. Cheers, Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those who do masters in Aires are superhumans, but they need time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
konbini Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I thought big scale was way off for me - o whatever, I think i'll start purchasing for a future build - might sneak that one in somewhere ^^. Credit card bills to not settle down for the time being . I better start thinking about a shelf or something that is at least 18 inches wide and 28 inches long that will hold a large beauty. Housing in HK isnt particularly huge. What about some weighted resin wheels for the flanker? There's Trumpy's rubber donuts (with yummy green tea filling in the middle).. but that one's debatable. Not sure how the rubber would hold out over the years, decades. Thanks again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eastern Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi everybody! Here I am with some pics of P-72-1D (AA-11 Launcher). Not much crisp and flawless...but I think it's better than the in-kit one. :D Cheers and happy modeling! Alexander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

haneto Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'll get'em. Just so simple!!! Great work,Chris and Alexander! (I even dream of a new 1/32 Su-27/MiG-29 kit by some serious maker with common molding sense. The incredible Zactomodels aftermarket goods only make the original Trumpy kit look so low level......) Cheers, Yufei Quote Link to post Share on other sites
konbini Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) part of the reason for errors is Trumpy's probably just a bit rushed to get stuff out - even their copy's of Alexander and Chris' work is still faulty. tsk tsk... Dont worry I support ya all the way. Wonderful creators & craftsmen here on ARC. on another note, if someone could make some nice exhaust vents and electrical plugs, and static dischargers/vanes etc, maybe a metal pitot :), I would certainly be interested. ohhh and some nice resin wheels (any rivet counter worthy still in production?), and correct metal landing gear (maybe brass???) - references made to Ken & Rafael's builds. Just to stir up some thinking again... :) Edited September 15, 2009 by konbini Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi Chris, Very neat work on the wingtip pylons. I know only too well how difficult it is to capture all of the subtle curves and changes in profile of those beasts. You appear to have pulled it off with aplomb. Another "must have" Flanker correction part from Zactomodels. Not much crisp and flawless...but I think it's better than the in-kit one. Cheers and happy modeling! Alexander. :o Are you kidding Alexander? The detail looks totally crisp and flawless in these images! I think you are being too modest. ;) BTW, did you get the website fixed yet? I visited the other day and many of the images were missing..... You two are doing a splendid job between you, keep it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet78 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I might have missed it Chris but are you planning on releaseing a whole set of Pylons for one complete build for the Flanker? Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 I might have missed it Chris but are you planning on releaseing a whole set of Pylons for one complete build for the Flanker?Yes, I will eventually be releasing the whole set of pylons which will include the wingtip pylons. For those who don't want to invest in the whole set of pylons I am going to offer the wingtip pylons by themselves because the kit parts are so far off and the Archers won't work with them. The wingtip pylons will be available very soon. The full set won't be available for some time... Not much crisp and flawless... :blink: Are you kidding Alexander? The detail looks totally crisp and flawless in these images! I think you are being too modest. ;)X 2Thanks for the nice comments guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But wait, how could you have done such nice work if you had bad eyes? :blink: Keep up the good work my fiend! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loftycomfort Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 One side finished. Chris, Just like everyone else, I'm left speechless by the exquisite details. It's so intricate, I wouldn't be surprised if the Archer missiles can just "click" into the rails without glue, just like the real thing. On second thought, it'd be a shame to have the missiles hiding the rails' details. This might be a good opportunity to place the Archers on a dolley (sp?) so both the missiles and the rail details can be seen. Cheers, Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
