Don't matter to me.
2 seater only means i can get more figure interaction goin' on.

I don't mind having the two seater, but I always liked the single seater version...to me the twin seater looks like Quasimodo to me....
besides the chines fly both the single and twin seater.

I like the look of the single seat. I can't imagine how huge this plane would be in 1/18th scale.

I'd bitch if this were, say, a MiG-29, but as-is it's fine.
This bad boy is gonna be 4' long.

I'd like to have a single seater, but I'm not going to complain if they do a two seat version. Just make it happen....

I am not really bitching but the single seat would sell more...
Its more recognizable as an interceptor,

Can you guys believe we are even talking about an 18th scale SU-27 even being made? A few weeks ago I would have said you were nuts to thinks someone might make this awesome plane in 1/18th scale.

Just call it an Su-30 MKK or the yet to be built Shenyang J-11BS.

That will limit the repaint posabilitys.

They're fairly limited any way you slice it.
We're gonna get Russian and/or Chinese. Does anyone really care if they do an Angolan or an Uzbek scheme?

the Su-30 MKK is a export version,, Russia does not fly it.

Then you've got even less marketable schemes to pick from.

JSI should make it like the 21st me-262. by making it this way they can open it up and make even more variants..and always keeping the mold fresh..

Some still see it that way. I don't think that this will ever see the light of day. There is to much out there that has been promised and never saw the production. I think that we all better get ready to buy some re-casts/re-paints and be happy with it. Well at least till it flutters out like 21st did.....
Shoot me until I see I don't believe it....show me something in a retail box and I will get excited until then its all just guesses?????
