Rob Humphrey battled this Hobby Boss 1/48 Sukhoi Su-30MK Flanker G, not that the Russian pilot wanted to surrender... just because the kit-fit was "difficult". Kitlinx could not resist by adding our flag-support to Ukraine
Having a weekend free gave me time to finish up my SU-30MK. I should have gone into more detail, but I didn't want to put a lot of time in this particular kit (I will do another SU-30, but by Hobby Boss, Academy or Kitty Hawk). However, I think for the amount of pain and suffering I went through with this kit, I was lucky not to have blown it up with firecrackers. Through all of this, I think I was able to pull off a bit of a miracle to get it to come out as good as it turned out (especially with all the hundreds of flaws in the kit). I ended up building this SU-30 as the Chinese "Shenyang J-16" of the PLAAF of China

Your Feedback:
"I always check Kitlinx when I'm looking for new kits, or need some supplies. Ordering is simple when you know that the item is in stock and that it will ship quickly. Kitlinx also seems to carry more items from more manufacturers than any other online sites"

"I've always enjoyed ordering from Kitlinx. It's been easy to identify what's in stock, what's available to order and what is no longer available. I've found that so many people are buying from Kitlinx, that some items get sold quickly. So when I order, I immediately purchase all my items at once, so I know I'll get what I order. Some items, like those on pre-order, get held up at the ports (like what's happened lately on both the east and west coast) so I know I'll have to wait until those items finally make it on shore. Every store is having the same problem. So why not buy from the one that seems to more than any other store"

Search Tips:
[Kitlinx is still working on its LEFT COLUMN searches. This work will be completed as soon as "Kitlinx-on-the-clouds" is working smoothly]
Let me add some "tricks" to the POWERFUL search engine of Kitlinx (the SEARCH BOX at the TOP of the website). Below are the KEYS to search ~ 100,000+ available products (67% in US, 33% in Europe)
1. Use the top box search on Homepage
2. Use several keywords separated by spaces to zero-in your search. Example: "1/48 spitfire aircraft_model"
3. Use the underscore "_", like armor_models or Tamiya_ or aircraft_accessor. Example: "1/48 spitfire aircraft_access"
4. Use keyword "instock" to JUST search for in-stock items
5. If you are searching for SALE items, use the keyword "~special~"
6. Don't forget the Manufacturer's link on TOP of each Product-Page. It quickly shows ALL available product from the same manufacturer
7. DO NOT use the asterisk "*"
