I've got all three of those and I love them.

No need to buy the Witty Su-27s with their bad canopies... (even if they make nice liveries).

Operating features (especially at 1/72nd scale) almost always come at a sacrifice to accuracy....Let Wal-Mart sell those.

I'm all for optional parts, just not operating ones..

whoa whoa, before you go right ahead and slap me, how about the Gaincorp Su-33? I think it looks great with the wings folded up

I keep my Gaincorp SU-33 with wing always folded up as it hides the oversized hinge assembly.

Way OT, but regardless of "gimmicks" the Witty Su-33 isn't an Su-33 at all. They went to the effort and expense of molding-all new wings to make them fold, yet didn't make them Su-33 wings. They're "folding Su-27 wings". I'd much rather have wings that were the distinctive shape and size of the Su-33, than to have folding ones of the wrong style.

Not to keep this going, but... I remember a similar discussion on MH I and martin posted some pics of the real hinges on the birds and gaincorp's not far off... I was surprised

This pic ain't great but...




And great pics of the Tomcat OC, thanks -- I think that is the ONE I will spring for...
