Anarchy Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 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 ? #3 - Uh, yeah ... the radome may indicate a MKK, still not sure bout that. #4 - Lil Series of pics, single seater with square cropped fins - no idea ... :) Link to post Share on other sites
Zmey Smirnoff Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 #1 - Regular 27, not SM. #2 - Uzbekistan (?) #3 - Looks like MKK, hard to tell from this angle. Not MKI #4 - Very interesteng - my guess pre-canard Su-35 mod. T-10M or something along those lines. Link to post Share on other sites
EF Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) #1. The tailcone indicates it's and early production standard Su-27. #2. It's an Ethiopian Flanker, but not sure about the exact designation. #3. Sukhoi demo Su-30MK. #4. I think those are 2 different Flanker B development prototypes.

kotey Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 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? Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 It is an Iranian Su-25, you are right Kotey... -Hoops Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 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... Link to post Share on other sites
