Round 2.

The main attraction was the Su-25 single seater in two tones of gray camo. Nice scheme right?

Fantastic pics! :woot.gif: Thanks for sharing! :deadhorse1:

The grey Frogfoot looks great. But the dark green wrap-around camo wasn't bad either.

Interesting aircraft! Don't think I ever saw one of those before.

Hola Alberto, I've heard that at least a half of the Frogfoot fleet will be painted in the new blue camo, the other will keep the previous green-gray color scheme:

Peruvian AF Su-25UB 085
