I notice Revell has released a new Su-27 Flanker-b and Zvezda an Su-30 and Su-35 in the past few months. Anyone got a look at these yet, can offer any advice?
Ken, surely you have pounced on these already :)

Hi David,
I have updated my Flanker kits survey to include these.....
It's at :-
My take on it is that it is a good kit - typically crisp Hasegawa moulding etc - let down by a nose area that does not quite capture the Flanker look for me. The rear end is also too wide - see the web page for comparison photos.
Again, I must stress that this is just a personal opinion - and having bought the Revell kit, I am going to re-visit the subject with some new drawings to see if it is fixable.
As for the Zvezda kits - they are re-boxings of the Nakotne/Berkut kits.
Hope this helps.....

Thanks Ken. I suspected you'd have sussed these out!
Pity.. I have the berkut Su-35 here (bought it in Moscow) and theres a lot of little things that need doing to it, as well as some big ones! Like complete replacement of the exhaust nozzles, and it is in desperate need of a replacement vac-form canopy... ive been putting that off for ages.
I think I might just go get me an airfix kit...
