salomon Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Hello, I will need your expertise on this plane that I do not have a lot of references on this subject. I would like to make the Ukrainian Su-27 with the Kitty Hawk kit which offers the engine and the radar in the open position. We cannot find the reliable references about the radar used on this plane, Kitty Hawk included two radars but one is not on the assembly instructions which is NIP N001 but we find it on the instructions paint. If you have more information on this subject that could helping me, thanks a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salomon Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) thank you for sharing that walk around, nice pictures 👍 But my question still be the same; which radar used by the Ukrainian's SU-27? And I don't have many reference for that. Is that? Or that? Edited December 17, 2022 by salomon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ijozic Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 The bottom one is N001, the top one should be N001VP for Su-27SM3, though it looks similar to Irbis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 So the Ukrainian's Su27 were the earlier version, so they use the N001, the N001VP is the last upgrade system, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the VP should be for the SM3 upgrade, though I can't find an image of what it looks like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
