I'd be happy to see a prototype Su-34 Craig. We can place it on the USSR to demonstrate technology development at the time and the Su-27 is a must if you can get it done in time. 8-)

Glad to hear it arrived Craig and really looking forward to seeing it. I always thought the non-standard Green/Grey camo scheme sounded really interesting.

Cheers

hi here's a couple of cold war sig reserves as both need parts or decals to complete
airfix 1/72 su-27b flanker
Image
Image
primed to check surface will need to reinstate some panel lines before adding small parts it has the trumpeter flanker decals in the cockpit and will have the
spare weapons from that kit as well ,it will be finished in ukraine markings from 1992,unfortunately the canopy is missing so im looking for an alternative option ,a friend said its unlikely that airfix will have a spare so if anyone can help i'd be grateful,also been working on this

revell 1/72 su-24 fencer
Image
Image
primed to check and will need some panel lines re doing, dazzled asked if this could be done in kazahkstan markings acouple of months ago but i didn't think i would have time but as its almost ready for painting if someone could help with the decals or the red/yellow stars that would be a great help thanks craig

hi i've been building the trumpeter su-27 flanker but cannot get a close match to the dreammodel photo etch


Image
if anyone has any suggestions of which acrylic paint might be a close match please let me know as i've tried mixing to match 3 times without getting close using revell/tamiya/vallejo brands,a mix ratio will be fine
