ya-gabor Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Here is something new. The Russian Begemot company has released a comprehensive decal sheet for the latest generation of Flanker family the Su-35S. The decal is for the 48th scale kits. Well OK we still have to wait for the plastic kits but as far as it is know they are on the way. Begemot has provided a full history of the Su-35S all the way from the first examples to the latest flying schemes. The biggest problem is how to make our choice, which aircraft would we want to build. The decal has 3 sheets, each 16 by 22.5 cm. The instruction sheet is 8 pages of A3 size sheets with one additional small sheet of side views. Printing is excellent just as we used to from the company. To ensure perfect register the “board numbers” are given as a separate base colour (the frame colour) and the different version of the numbers red, blue or some black examples. Not only the main numbers but the smaller tail numbers are also given in several sizes. Of course the Russian AF legends and the registration numbers which go with it are also catered for in different styles. Stencilling is provided for an aircraft which takes a full sheet but then again another sheet is crammed full of markings for the very wide range of weapons. I did not count them all but there are almost 400 individual decal styles inside this latest package from Begemot and since to some individual stencils, numbers, stars several or even a dozen decals apply this means that in all there are somewhere around 2 or 3 thousand markings are packed on to the sheets. It will be a lot of work to put them all on the kits! The decal is as up-to-date as possible. It has a small addendum sheet with details of the Su-35’s which took part in the Sirian conflict. Mission markings are included. The premier of the decal sheet will be this weekend at the Moson 2017 show. This is the first time it will be available for the modellers. Have fun with it! I would like to thank Kotey for the decal and wish him a perfect show at Moson. I am sure he will be more than glad to meet with modellers and exchange views on present past and future project.

Deino Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) ... and the PLAAF-option on the decals too ! Edited April 22, 2017 by Deino Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Any chance of an updated 1:72 sheet with the aircraft that were used in Syria and the Chinese markings?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 As I know Chinese Su-35 have Chinese stencil, so i'my not sure that we will realise Su-35S in Chinese markings. About Syrian markings - I'm have plans about small addenium of Syrian markings for future releases Su-35 1/72 decal. Who have interest in this small shee - please PM me in end of May, i'm think we can do something for modelers, who already bought 1/72 Su-35 decal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Anyone with questions could approach Kotey tomorrow at Moson in the School building on ground floor next to the Polish Master Company. Today there were a lot of people at his table I am sure he will be happy to answer questions on Sunday too. Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
