Dean, it's a decent kit but nothing exceptional.   Assuming that it is dimensionally correct, it would be perfect for your needs but I believe there's some subtle LERX differences between this kit and later versions of the real thing that might annoy you.

Yeah you were right, raised is the right way. Hmm I still might get one eve to use it as a sort of scale plastic blueprint as I have no plans. for the conversion. The Hasegawa offering is no doubt a good kid but really expensive here in the UK.

Hasegawa, seems a good buy.

In Brazil it is also very expensive, way is to buy from china .. ha ha ha

I did the same thing to my own Italeri Su-27K to make it a 'B' as I, being lazy,  didn't want to fill in the gaps between the leading edges and the add-on canards...  it was a paint mule at any rate.

Lol, I saw those double wheels and looked for the canards myself...   at any rate, this is still an awesome paint job.

Sorry, but I'm very newbie .. Monto kits less than 15 months, and I do not know much about airplanes .. Tongue Tied

The canards, I chose not to put,

Wait, so did you get an su27 fuselage and su33 landing gear? Well either way it looks great.

hahahaha...  Things Italeri, I assembled the kit 100% same as the manual

One question, why does your Flanker have the SU-33 nose gear? Was it a change you made or did Italeri get it wrong, because that's not the nose gear of an SU-27. I'm not poking fun or criticizing just curious.

Hi thanks for comment...  The kit is wrong   Tongue Tied

I used this kit

My apologies if this is considered hijacking a thread but I do have a question regarding the SU-27. Nice paint job, by the way!

I have the Revell 1:72 Flanker kit 4348 and danged if I can figure out what variant it represents. Seems the Russians do a variant of the week!  Anybody have an idea which one it is and where I could find a replacement cockpit for it? Thanks!

Damn. If the kit sucks you definitely unsucked it. That looks great.

That's a really nice Flanker, Alemaobra.   That camo looks great- I have to ask what paints you used on it.

If you didn't like that kit, try one of Trumpeter's 1/32 monsters... they're a lot of fun.
