Ordered the Quinta cockpit „decal“ set 🙂 Anyone knows where to find photos for the „100“ of the navy force in the Baltics? There are not too many. Good starting point is usually https://russianplanes.net/ but there are few pictures of 101, 102 and 103 of the same regiment but no 100. Few photos are here: https://samoletchik.livejournal.com/99810.html and here: https://mil-avia.livejournal.com/618952.html Also here is the video of official naming ceremony in 2013.

RKKA Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Thx. I had already searched on russianplanes, but didn’t find anything. Thanks for the interesting video. Finally some current captures of the 100. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curt B Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Here's another vote for the single seater...I'll just HAVE to get one of those when they are available! Thanks for posting the video a few posts above. I'm always fascinated by the Soviet/Russian paint schemes, the green and light blue combinations of colors. I've always wondered why they use those particular colors. I can understand the blue shades as camo against the sky, but the combination with green 'trim' colors I've never understood. Does anyone know what the 'unveiled' Cyrillic writing on the engine pod says in English (about 9:00 into the video)? Edited December 13, 2020 by Curt B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I found this way of transliteration to be cumbersome and leads to confusion. Aleksandr Pokryshkin would be the most logical way to put it into English and hope for correct pronunciation. 'SZ' doesn't really yield the (Ш) SH sound in English, and using Y for both (Ы) and (И) wont help the English speaker. И makes the sound of ee like sheen. And ы makes a unique sound not found in English, but the closest example I was taught was the sound in the middle of the word buoy, minus the B sound and EE sound at the end. Maybe I'm just picky.

If you mean the green colour of dielectric panels, like nose cone, tip of the fins . . . then it was simply a version used in the past for almost all dielectric panels as standard (see for instance the MiG-21’s) It can go back all the way to panels on radar equipped MiG-17’s but even then there were numerous colour variations: green, blue, grey, white. Somehow the green stayed as standard. On the Su-27 the green panels were on first production aircraft later to be changed to white (for me the bright white is just as contrasting). But it is / was not a standard applied everywhere on every aircraft so even today you can see some green nose cones / antenna panels. Actually I like them more. : ) : ) Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RKKA Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I just wish the decal of the guard badge was printed a little bit better. The Guard badge on the „100“ has sort of greyish outline around the white middle part. GWH has tried to replicate it, but it’s rather overdone 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curt B Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Thanks for the translation, gents. And regarding the green color of the nose and tips of the vertical stabilizers, I understand those to have a historical antecedents. Makes sense. Thanks, gabor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RKKA Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I have a question regarding the GWH Su-35. I saw some comments on the Russian forums, people say there improvements made to the later batches of the kit? I have 2 initial production kits with the tinted clear parts. GWH has released 2 other Su-35 after that. Is there a difference in quality? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you put it in your shopping cart, that’s what it shows, but doesn’t identify the sales/specials that are applied to get that price. I got mine from them several weeks ago on sale for $75 and I thought I’d done well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
