tomdelis Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Hello guys, I am building the Kittyhawk SU-35 in the following version: SU-35 BM "902". I am now at the weapons stage (still before painting the camo though) and I am struggling a bit with the weapons and how these are attached to the launchers and the pylons (if I assume that the pylon is the one attached to the plane, and the launcher is the one attached in-between the weapon and the pylon). to make things more clear, I am planning to attach a KH-59 M(E) as seen in the picture. This was "stolen" from the SU-34 Kittyhawk kit. My problem however is how to attach this weapon to the plane, which pylon and which launcher. I found that the SU-34 kit provides a launcher (AKU-58) similar to the one shown in the picture (however when trying to attach it to the weapon it does not sit parallel). if I want to attach the KH-59 under the wing (close to the intakes) as in the picture attached, which pylon should I use?

Berkut Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Innermost attachment point on the wings, first E36/E37 pylons according to this, then AKU-58 then Kh-59. Couple of relevant pictures; Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Very Nice Berkut! This thread is a "go to" for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomdelis Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) I can't thank you enough Berkut. I will post some pictures of the progress when i go home. I am not planning to put two Kh-59 but only one on the right side and most probably a KAB 1500 kl on the other side. as for the rest of the weapons, I am going to use Eduard's weapon set which has some nice R-27's, R-77, R-60 and R-73 of course, If you have any pictures of the "902", I would very much appreciate to have them.

tomdelis Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hi Andrea, I am using Kittyhawk's model which has the correct for the early configuration stinger. Or at least I believe so 🙂 Kittyhawk provide the late type of stinger in resin, so I won't be using the resin part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomdelis Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 can you guys check that my assumptions as to what kind of weapons these are, are correct?
