Greetings!

Here is another example of Trumpeter's Su-30MKK kit in 1/72 scale. I painted and marked mine as a Su-30M2:

I used Dream Model's pitot tube and corrected vertical tails (I would have used their corrected intake blow-in slats too, but had already assembled the intakes by the time I knew of its existence).

I also used various decals from Begemot and the Kh-59s, Kh-31s, and associated pylons were from ICM.

Finally the figures were from JFVicente. Thanx a lot Juan!!!

For the camo I used the following mixes of Testors:

Light Blue: equal parts white and Flanker Medium Blue

Gray: equal parts white and Flanker Medium Blue, and Topside Gray

Dark Blue: 2 parts white, 2 parts Topside Gray, 1 part Flanker Medium Blue, and 1 part Bright Blue

Now for the pics:

SAHHH WHEEEEET!!! do you have a WIP link?

I don't have one for my build, but Ken's WIP thread is excellent:

For mine, instead of constructing the shoulders for the canards from plastic card and filler, I cut out the shoulders from a Zvezda Su-37, cut out the corresponding panels from the MKK and mashed them together:

Great idea on the Su-30SM :thumbsup:/>/>/>

Where did you get the decals from ??? (for the Su-30SM I mean)

Note also that bort 'Black 02' is now 'Black 54':-

(right at the end @1:22) :bandhead2:/>/>/>

Keep up the Flankering :worship:/>/>/>

I created the decals myself in PowerPoint and PaintShop Pro

I based the IP layout on the Yak-130. Wrong layout I know, but no one will see once I close up the canopy anyway.

Thanx for the heads-up on the 02 to 54. By the time I finish up I may have even more choices...

Excellent ! :worship:/>

Those chaff/flare dispensers are really useful - it's a pity that Trumpeter only include them in their J-11B release and not the other Flankers in the range.

I tried to persuade Begemot to do a sheet of such things - plus different Flanker cockpit decals and blow-in doors etc - but I guess there is a very limited market.

Such things as the yellow-with-black-surround and plain black 'slime lights' would also be useful..... :pray:/>

Ho hum......

Ken

PS - Love the pilots arm patches :thumbsup:
