Well ... in fact I like the latest low visibility markings - esp. on the PLAN NA Su-30MK2 with the eagle on the tail - very much!

Wow 😛

Wow! Any more info on the options?

Does anyone have more info on this one? Seems as if GWH has released a 30th anniversary Chinese SU-27SK set!? But even more important, will there be a J-11B/BH/BS/BSH/BG and BHG??

I would love to see a J-16! 😛

But besides the prototype 554 (and eventually 555) and the first J-15T demonstrator no J-15 has WS-10s fitted.

Well, there is another surprise ... the J-15S has finally entered PLAN service

I know, ... but the most limiting factor is not money but my most limited modelling capabilities. 😔

Wow ... but anyway; I want a J-16 and a J-16D! Even if I'm aware that they are structurally vastly different alone due to the lack of canards.

Really? But I wasn't able to find them on this site... (1) MINIBASE SU-33 build group | Facebook Anyway this is even more interesting, since the first catapult-capable serial aircraft has been spotted this week:

Any plans for a Chinese J-15? They are already building it within Batch 04 and as it seems the CATOBAR capable next variant is also already in production ... ☺️ Even more since there are now more J-15s in service than Su-33 ever have been built.

thanks! That's interesting, so they got 2-digit numbers when being delivered, received 3-digit serials later in the 1990s before getting the new number scheme in yellow serials even later (2005 ? if I'm not mistaken), which was changed again in 2016/17 to the brigade pattern. by the way, will there be a dedicated J-11A at a later date ... and also the J-11B and BG?

Especially interesting are those of the 2nd batch to the PLAAF 2nd Air Division, since they also had briefly 3-digit numbers. And another option would be those from the famous 1st Air Division at Anshan with the Tiger head badge:

This may help at least for the start ... The J-16 has no pitot, a grey or even light grey radome, twin wheel front landing gears and an IFR-probe. https://twitter.com/RupprechtDeino/status/1239116401899646976

By the way ...

Yes ... in the closed group!

The new images of the Tomcat are out at AMK's Facebook site ... and IMO they look good.

By the way has anyone seen the J-20 LRIP variant in 1/72 built??

Very nice ... but if I'm not mistaken, the PLAAF now uses a new helmet for the J-11B, J-15 and Su-35.

As far as I know they are only armed with Russian AAMs.... Yes, the PL-12 is not able to be carried on the wt-stations on any J-11 (AFAIK).

New images ...

Simply stunning ... and now PLEASE a roll-out!?

New images of the PLAAF Su-35s.

These are two images I know ... the first one for sure, the second one said to be a simulator.
