Best 1/72 scale Gaincorp

My vote... The Su-34

WHOOPS! THE J-11 should be J-10

I voted for the Su-34 myself. The splinter two-tone grey scheme is extremely nice!

Re: Best 1/72 scale Gaincorp

Su-34 is my immediate answer. It is one of those best first attempts. So many manufacturers have been deteriorating through time...and Gaincorp is one of them! I have the first "bort 43" (blue/grey) and the last "bort 45" (turquoise/green) and love them, although the second one was a bit "misaligned" (nose probe and tailboom...had to fix the nose probe with a blow-dryer and my fingers, the tailboom required some surgery).
The F-22 and the Su-47 were exciting at first, but didn't stand the test of time...you all know what I mean.

Re: Best 1/72 scale Gaincorp

forgot to add, they did a terrible job with so many of the models in this list...like that they called an su-35 (what?!?!)

I think their wisest move was NOT to release the F/A-18F they had planned, folding wings and movable control surfaces (2 versions)...they had molded the nose upside down!

That said, I have their Su-34, Su-27 (both Chinese PLAAF versions, blue camouflage AND grey-japanese market exclusive), F-22, Su-47. Still looking for a decent J-10 and FC-1 in 1/72.

Re: Best 1/72 scale Gaincorp

I've got 4 Gaincorp models and I'd have to say the SU-34 is my favorite pretty easily. I'll be getting rid of my F-22 if someone comes out with a better version if I remember correctly Skunky had mistaken it for a cocker spanel peeing on his yard.....
