Youngtiger1 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Wow, those are sweet. 902 does have an awesome looking paint job. I think the 901 looks interesting as well. Thanks for sharing the photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Great photos, mate! Thanks for posting! The forum is a bit wrong though. The right one would be the Research Corner, since not many people will find this beauty if the photos are here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Su-27BM or Su-35, not Su-35BM! For all Russian aviation freaks but indeed a beautiful plane! Countdown to see her in person - a month and 3 weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Well Ken, praying and hoping she will... 902 or 901 will be almost certainly on static display but I'd love to see her airborne... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
northeaste36 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 What color would the fuel tanks be on this jet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) What color would the fuel tanks be on this jet? Probably zinc chromate with some sort of sealant ..... :blink: Sorry, couldn't resist .... :) I assume you mean external fuel tanks ??? The Su-35 has provision for '2 external tanks of 2,000ltr capacity' - according to a Sukhoi brochure in my hand. But as it has never even been photographed with such tanks, the answer is 'no-one knows' As for the colour scheme, whilst being very dramatic and 'cool' - it is pure Sukhoi PR. I doubt if any export buyer (and let's hope there are some ) would adopt such a scheme - and Russian AF Su-27BM's would probably have 'standard' (but boring) camo schemes. If I were to speculate as to fuel tank colour on a RusAF Su-27BM, it would be plain old underside Pale Blue Grey - but I doubt that even an operational Su-27BM would need to carry such tanks - unless it was ferrying.

BradP Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Probably the most beautiful aircraft in world with the most beautiful camouflage...Enjoy people! :unsure: AWESOME!!!!! Is anyone going to make a model of this thing? Can anyone make the new tail fins? If anyone wants clarification on the Su-27 versions, I suggest you get the book "Famous Russian Aircraft: Sukhoi Su-27" by Yefim Gordon. I have the book. It will make life much easier. Hope this helps anyone, Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will make life much easier.Hope this helps anyone, Brad It has been said (by Yefim Gordon) that it has different fins - but, apart from the bigger rudders, I couldn't make out any shape differences when I photographed 901 alongside a Su-30MK at MAKS 07. So I haven't changed them on my model - which is just now in the finishing stages. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zmey Smirnoff Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I am looking forward seeing 902 fly at MAKS. Also hoping they'll bring one of those brand new MiG-29SMTs from Algerian fiasco too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Algerian SMT is ugly, but the original SMT (917 Blue) is a much nicer looking plane with the better spine curve. - Brad -_- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
