Jonathan S Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Hi All I've tried to find an answer before posting, so forgive me if this has been discussed. I bought the GWH Su-35 over the KH version for quality reasons. Only trouble is that the GHW kit does not come with prototype Bort 902 markings. Perhaps this is because a true Su-35S is not correct for Bort 902. So ultimate question is, can you put Bort 902 on the GWH kit and still be accurate? Lastly, if okay, does anyone have Bort 902 markings they aren't going to use? Likely only need the numbers. Edited June 26, 2018 by Jonathan S Corrected typo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pacific mustang Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Gday Jonathon, the short answer is you cannot do the splinter scheme 902 using the GWH kit. The reason being , 902 being a prototype, was fitted with the early type tail stinger featuring top mounted chaff dispensers as depicted in the KH kit The GWH kit has the later style stinger with downward facing dispensers that was fitted to all airframes shortly after introduction to service Bruce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 In short what Bruce said. There are a few other nuances and details but basically the gist is that GWH has only the late stinger. It is not impossible to modify it yourself through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan S Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Thank you gentlemen for your answers, very much appreciated! Except for eggplant, I like any of the paint schemes, but wanted Bort 902. I'm not going to build it this year, so now have to consider if I'm going to modify. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
