Name that Flanker ...


Recommended Posts

I've got a few Flankers pics in my collection that i can't identify so let's begin :

#1 - This one looks like a standard Su-27 but the tail doesn't match, it sure isn't a SM - any ideas ?

#2 - Poor quality, so where is this one from - Kazahstan maybe ?

1. Ex-Ukranian Su-27 from late batch, sell to Eritrea, splinter-type camouflage, but colours is different, than Ukranian Flankers, same false canopy like on Ukranian Su-27s.

2. Uzbek AF Su-27s in demo painting (with national colours stripes on lateral surfaces on fuselage, engines compartment and fins).

3. Dont know, but intresting myself. That type of camouflage used on Iran Su-25s, maybe Iran?

It never fails to amaze just how many air forces fly this beauty!

WE NEED MORE KITS!!!!!!

No, really, considering just how many air forces fly the Su-27 and her descendants, it is really time for a Flanker that can be accurately built from the box!

I don't know what the current status of Heller is, but they'd sell themselves stupid if they re-released their two-seaters...
