New 1/72 Su-35 by Hasegawa announced in Nurnberg


Recommended Posts

Certainly very interesting. Difference between Su-35S and Su-27 are fairly big, hopefully they covered the major things that are in bold:

Su-35S changes:

- New cockpit. Or just new IP, depending how detailed you wanna do it.

- Move IRST

- New stinger tail with lots of new shapes.

- Differences on vertical fins, like bigger rudders.

- TVC engines.

- New pylons

- New front landing gear with two wheels.

- Refuel probe.

- Lacks airbrake, it is replaced by rudders operating outwards during the landing.

- New sensors around the nose.

- Lenghtwise Su-35S is the same, but notice different proportions in nose area. Radome is shorter, area between windsheild and radome is longer.(just a matter of rescribing)

- Sensor behind the canopy.

- "Sharp" nose, with no pitot.

- Antennas here and there.

- A few new intakes on upper and lower fuselage (engine area)

- A few other smaller details.

- Smaller ventral fins/stabs.

Fantastic, thanks for posting. Seems they have done their homework. :thumbsup:/>

Well, a Berkut approval is enough for me! :thumbsup: +1

My thanks also for the information and link, guys. Looks like I'll be 'dieting' again this year...

You meant vertical fins, didn't you?

Also you forgot no air brake, and some different rivet/panel lines in its place.

if they are planning for some special release related to Ace Combat canards and other stuff are needed for the Yellow Squadron

Wrong plane for Yellow Squadron which were Su-37s. This one is a production Su-35S which is also very different to the prototypes Su-35s (T-10M) too. And I don't think they'd bother or make the mistake of doing some slap-on canards and shoulders to cater to the niche Su-37, like the old and grossly inaccurate attempt of an Su-33 by Italeri. And even to convert the Su-35S back to a prototype Su-37 you'd need more than canards... there's a lot more differences, like the different shaped tail stinger. All the lumps and bumps added to the Su-35s would need to be removed for an Su-37. Su-37 has taller vertical tails. Also the Su-35S has the airbrake removed, you'd either need to make one for Su-37 or rescribe the panel lines accordingly.

And finally since you really hate 'gray' and insist on having something 'Ace Combat' there's Akula's Su-35S with sharkmouth from AC:AH.

This is great news !!!!

Here's one I made earlier.......

su-35_043.jpg

As Berkut listed (apart from the mistake about horizontal instead of vertical fins) - there are loads of differences - both from the standard Su-27 and the original Su-35.

The changes I made to the old Airfix Su-27 to make a Su-35S are shown in my WIP - here.

I do wish that Sukhoi would stop messing around with our heads when they designate their products - the original Su-35 (T10M) is a totally different machine to the new Su-35S (T10BM).

They have caused no amount of confusion with their re-use of numbers.

Still, great news from Hasegawa - lets hope it is a new tool.

No need for that because Hasegawa has only recently released a special edition of their Su-33 kit with Yellow Squadron decals.

Dou, vertical of course. :doh: And forgot about the airbrake for some reason even tho i knew about it. I didn't bother listing things like panellines, pitots and strengthening plates, i piled them all under "A few other smaller details."

Judging by the profile i have slight feeling they gonna recycle Su-33 canopy, but it is not a big deal.

I will bet money that they will release an Akula Su-35S, considering that Namdai LOVES selling merch from ACAH. I just wish the production run for the Yellow 13 Su-33 had been longer...

@White Wolf: They recently released it, but good luck finding any anywhere. I think they sold out everywhere within a week.

I know the differences,that why I writed "canards and other stuff",sorry if I did hurt the gray-hammer legion squadron's feelings,you should have ignored me at least,without pointing my hate for the gray here,I don't like Akula Flanker anyway sharkmouth is just out of place,I just need a couple of Super Flankers one for Ace Combat 2 and for Ace Combat 3 that's is kinda gray but I don't care.

I do have said for the Yellow Squadron as Hasegawa have released the Su-33 with those markings,sadly in the game was as a DLC or in a way to milk people's money with a reskin

Hehe. It is easy to fix Su-33 canopy profile with right tools, took me like half an hour. And no, LERX on Trump flankers is still bad! :woot.gif:

Haha, just a few days ago I read your article and wished to myself that a model company would make a kit of the newer Su-35 (I definitely do not have your skills or dedication when it comes to modelling the different Flanker variants). Looks like I got my wish! Between this and Zvezda's new Su-27SM and MiG-29C, 2014 is going to be a very happy year for those who love Russian aircraft.
