Hi All
I have always thought that this was one of the coolest looking airplanes ever the evolutionary development of the Su-27, the Su-25M also known as the Su-35.
The Sukhoi Su-35 (Russian: Сухой Су-35, NATO reporting name: Flanker-E) is a single-seat, twin-engine supermaneuverable multirole fighter. It is a derivative of the Su-27 'Flanker', and was initially known as the Su-27M. More than a dozen of these were built with some used by the Russian Knights aerobatic demonstration team. The Su-35 had been offered to many countries, including India, Brazil, China and South Korea.
In the 1980s, Sukhoi was looking to upgrade its high-performance Su-27. The resultant Su-35 embodies aerodynamic refinements to give it more manoeuvrability, greatly enhanced avionics, longer range, and a more powerful engine. The first prototype, converted from a production Su-27, made its maiden flight in June 1988. The Su-35 was further developed into the Su-37, which has thrust-vectoring capabilities, and the Su-35BM, classified as 4++ generation fighter by its manufacturer. The new model entered into serial production as the Su-35S for the Russian Air Force in 2010.
For such a cool looking airplane there are no good kits in it in 1/48 (note with my luck as I start this expect a new surprise release from Tamiya or Hasegawa) so I will need to use a whole lot of after market with an Academy Su-27 in there as well
So what am I using
• Academy 1/48 Su-27
• Wolfpack Su-35 conversion
• Eduard exterior PE
• Aires Cockpit
• Aires Exhaust cans
• Quickboost aerials
• Begemot decal
