Flanker Special Edition...

As a special favor to my friend Jay over at The Raptor's Nest..here is a special edition Flanker camo scheme. Mr. Hankey Shart Camo!

Flanker Part III

Some quick camp mockups for the Su27...I think I'm pretty set on the pattern but I wanted to see some color combos...top two are my fave...the darker blues with a slight edge...

Bottom two are not even close to realistic but interesting...

More Flanker Ideas...

A few more from the interwebs... A nice variation on the splinter camo scheme...

A set of profiles...#2 and #7-8 are my faves. #8 is very similar to current Pak Fa camo I've seen. RUSSIAN CAMO STRONG!

Flanker Camo Ideas...

Still gathering ideas for the Flanker, came across this one on the interwebs yday...a very nice camo but it may be a bit too much when grouped with the shark graphic decals...may save this camo idea for an Su-33 model down the road (notice the extra side "fins" near the cockpit)...

1/48 Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker B....sizing it up...

Here we go, side by side with the Slovak Mig-29...Damn. Keep in mind, the Flanker is technically a FIGHTER aircraft.

A profile view of the camo featured on the model - I had considered getting a different set of decals but I do like the Shark graphic down the side, plus these are the markings included with the kit! What do yo think?

New Comics 5.2.12...(late posting)

Small stack last week... COTW Earth 2...

Swamp Thing 9

Star Trek 8

NEW PROJECT!!! Academy 1/48 Su-27 Flanker B...

Academy strikes again! I said I would never get another of their kits, BUT after reading the reviews and seeing the packaging, I went ahead anyway. This is a big one... Box Art...photo-etched parts included!

The first thing you see inside the box! The fuselage halves tied to a nice cardboard piece sitting on top of the sprue tree bags.

More pictures will follow, including a size comparison with my recently completed Mig-29 but here is a quick review from the web: Su27 Flanker B
