Flankerman Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hello, Ken!I was wondering, except the TVC nozzles, formation lights and the cockpit what other additions or alterations are necessary to render this Su-35. Emil From what I have looked at so far..... New cockpit with 2 X large MFD screens. Offset IRST. IFR Probe. New tailboom - lacking the side boxes - but with a few 'bumps' Bigger rudders Twin nosewheels Lack of dorsal airbrake (just cement in place and re-scribe ??) Re-profiled radome - very subtle, but it looks like it lacks the double curvature at the tip. No nose probe. 'Hockey Stick' aerials under nose and tailboom. TVC nozzles. Apart from a few aerials etc - I think that covers it - I have probably missed something really obvious....? There are rumours that the fins are smaller - but I can't see any difference in shape. Ken PS - The biggest job is going to be sourcing those 'slime lights' !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken, that sounds very do-able, no major surgery...Wasn't really planing on building another Su-, but the grey Su-35 looks really cool, I just love that camo, guess I gotta start lookin around for another Academy kit...

Sebastijan Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 hehe Ken, obviously a typo - but it wouldn't be bad to hop a few months ahead to see if there's gonna be any surprises :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brutalos Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Man excellent job on converting this beast to Su-30MK. You've done marvelous job on the paintjob as well considering it is painted with spray bottles! One question!! How did you find fitting the Quickboost correction nose on the model?? From my personal experience it has the worst fit ever from all the other aftermarket noses (a huge step is created of almost 2-3mm), while it has serius errors on its shape as well! In my opinion Pisco models correction nose or even better the Miniarm version of this are the best choises by far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Wow, this is sweet. I just read a wonderful article on this aircraft in the Combat Aircraft magazine.
