Striking scheme. If that was an animal, you would know not to mess with it.

That looks great but a very, very mean-looking beastie.

Tom, I must admit that in this GB your Suchoj was my favorite of the many reasons ;)
I had him under observation all the time. And I'm really positively surprised by the result of what you have achieved!
Very beauty "Suczka"! :) I sincerely congratulate!
Regards!

That is top work Tom & I love that colour scheme.

Can we see it next to a fighter so we can judge the size of this beasty?
