Welcome back Dave!

My rig,see the specs in my sig.Trouble-proof on DCS Black Shark,PS CS4,3ds Max 2010 :lol: and all the games! It is my first build.You can follow the step-by-step log here: Core i7 Build As mentioned before,there is no significant difference in building a single/duo/quad-core machine.The hardest is to choose the parts,and how much you're willing to pay.

Thank you :D I haven't found any drawings/blueprints on the R15-300,so I based my modeling on pictures only.I hope the dimensions are close to the real thing.

Some details on the R15-300 exhaust nozzles:

That's right,structurally all the same.For the avionics,the Algerian MKAs have been stripped from all Israeli hardware,and replaced with French technology (Thales/Sagem).Also the Venezuelan MKVs are coming from Irkust,not from KNAAPO. I would really like to see a 1/48 MKA: And witn canards!

19 years is a very long life for a cat.My condolences.

mmmhhh....maybe I will not wait... I have Black Shark and it would be nice to merge them together.

This really good.Do you think Lazertran is a good solution for home-made decals?

I will post more,working currently on the textures.

The MKA is now on my to-do list.

Happy to see that you like my Foxbat Holmes!

Thanks Sebastijan! You can remove FC2 from the equation,I'm waiting for the DVD version.Downloaded already?

Actually I came to scale modeling because of 3d modeling...though I haven't started yet my first "real" model :lol: I think rendering an aircraft in 3D is as difficult as building a scale model,but both bring a lot of fun.I'm using 3ds Max 2010,texturing (in progress) with Illustrator/Photoshop,and final render in Mental Ray. I'm still waiting for my ICM MiG-25PD,will work on both...but not at the same time! Hope you like it:

I've posted some HD pics of algerian Fencers-MK2 if it can help - as these look to be upgraded M -,loadout is clear,check here: Algerian SU-24MK2

Really nice.We want more!

No update? This thread is quite instructive.

I swear she knows about decals more than me!

This is fuel released during engine start-up through a "bleed" valve to purge the combustion system at low pressure when the ratio Fuel/Air is still not sufficient to provide a good efficiency.For safety reason it can't be released unburnt (risk of explosion) so it is ignited,thus controlled.

You're right! I was really expecting them to use the same sand camo as the Su-24MK2...

The young algerian Su-30MKA fleet is based at Oum El Bouaghi AFB,which is in the North of Algeria,not far from the mediterranean sea.There are a lot of mountains there,as well as forests...so the desert scheme would be useless.

To stay in the topic,some recent pics of the Algerian MKAs:

And last but not least the SU-30MKA:

I hope I'm not flooding... Old MK's

Old MK loaded,heading to NAPO for the upgrade:
