Egyptian MiG-35

[beingthehero]

One of Egypt's MiG-35s were photographed a few days ago in a rather attractive desert scheme. It reminds me of the camouflage Uzbekistan's MiG-29Cs currently sport. Hopefully this will be a scheme if Zvezda gets around to making a MiG-35 kit.

I see there was an extremely lazy and terrible attempt at removing the watermark... Original picture;

And technically it still going under MiG-29M2 i believe.

the cool thing with new MiG-29M2/35 users ,is that we have greater chances to see it kitted one day (in 1/48 i mean...a KuB/K2 would be cool also)

BTW Anton, do you happen to know what are those "flaps" under the LERX? first time i notice them.

I grabbed it off Facebook and didn't notice the cut-off watermark until you pointed it out, otherwise I would've linked the original. 

 

I thought this version of the MiG-35 was a "lighter" one that wasn't quite as advanced as the M2. Has a less capable radar or something like that. Still, Russia seems confident that it'll match the F-35.

My hope too, but in 1/72 scale as well!

Always been there on the "second generation" K/KUB's (ie not the soviet ones) and all the frames based off those (M2/-35);

that's what i was suspecting (that they where there from the start on the 2nd gen...just notice them on the very late... )

and, Thank You for the link, that was exactly what i wanted to know

Here's one sporting a light grey/dark grey scheme somewhat reminiscent of Serbian Fulcrums.
