Because this is a museum bird which was repainted to represent an East German machine. And the museum didn't care if this is the wrong version or if the paintjob is authentic or not. This machine is one of the Ex-Moldovan machines the US bought (including all spareparts, weapons and diagnostic equipment) in order to prevent them being sold to states like Iran as they were wired to deliver nuclear weapons.

So in short, a sloppy paintjob from a museum which couldn't care less if their exhibits are authentic or not.

Thanks so much! I never thought that could happen.

Why they got almost same color scheme?

In order to replace the MiG-21, two Ye-8 were built in 1960~1961. Once in service, it would carry the designation of MiG-23. Personally speaking, I recognize it as "ultimated canard fishbed".
After the Winter War, Finland could remain it's Capitalism economic system, but the mass media sparking strong forms of self-control, self-censorship and pro-Soviet attitudes. In addition, continue to use Soviet weapons.
Modified the APU-60-2 Launch Rail from Condor MiG-25 spare parts.
Here is my work:
Ye-8 and Ye-6T
Thanks for watching!

This is a superb kit with decent engraved detail, large collection decal and plenty of payload. I just did some pinning works for change the weapons, painted with acrylic paint.
Here is my work:
Payload from left to right: sky shadow ECM pod、 2250 Ltr. tank、 AIM-9L、laser guided bomb、BOZ101 EC pod.
Replaced laser guided bomb with ALARM.
1500 Ltr. tank and 1000 lb bomb.

Great build and great subject! It would seem that the Su 27 pilot had seen Top Gun (1986) and was allegedly "communicating in Maverick style" with the Norwegian crew before the collision. He probably didn't realize that the movie scene was created in the safe environment of an editing studio!
Or it was just a normal day in russua, drunk driving.😏

Superb Flanker! I remember this incident well as it happened on my birthday!
A long time ago now, but I do recall purchasing the original ACE kit or possibly the Tsukuda kit shortly after the event. From memory that kit was not great, but I guess for the time it was not bad.
Terry
What a coincidence! How did you feel about this incident during the crazy cold war time?

On the September 13, 1987, the soviet Su-27's vertical tail cut one engine of norwegian P-3C while intercepting over the Barents Sea. We can't insure the incident was a "brave pilot with superb skill" or "flight accident caused by pilot negligence". From my point of view, this is a fascinating topic to present.
We can find two version of this incident: damage on the left or right vertical fin. After comparing the details of two side, I prefer the latter one.
These pictures were released by norwegian military which shooted by P-3C, notice the R-27T fins were in different color
The following is my work:

This looks really, really nice.
Im not familiar with Art Model. How well did the kit go together?
This kit goes......not well, needs lots of putty except for main fuselage.

Excellent model carter478 - great weathering.
Note that there are TWO Yak-141's on display in Moscow - the one at Monino...
... and the one at the Zadorozhny museum....
They are both coded 141 - and they differ in detail - note the yaw 'puffer' at the rear end of the one above - this is not present on the Monino example.
The Zadorozhny example is now coded 75.
There are other differences - some that you point out in your photos....
Ken
I found these picture too, but I considered it as the same one, just in different peroid .
So two individual aircraft shared the same code truly happened in russia!!?? haha~

Salt sea air carried by the prevailing winds? - Indeed this Yak-141 looks like it has been enduring salty air for a long while. Very well done!

Let me point out some of the differnce between in service(top) and retired(down)，I was so cofused while building it.....

YaK-141(initially called YaK-41M)，the first supersonic vertical takeoff fighter of the world. Compare with YaK-38, which is absolutely more comprehensive. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Yakovlev was fund by Lockheed Corporation, which was developing the JSF X-35. Unfortunately it never went into service in the end.
Right side is present as retired condition, there is so many differnce between in service condition. Does anybody knows why?
Thanks for watching!

try using oil paints. They give a greater smoove
At this point I want to see how far the acrylic paint can go, but I will try to use oil paints after have more budget for modeling, thanks a lot for your suggest!

Now you chaps are blurring the real with the miniature - I don't know what to believe, except that the original is a pretty amazing piece of paint work, not entirely my cup of tea but still amazing work - well done - perhaps we need a demonstration or a step-by-step?
My works almost coloured with normal acrylic paint and some Vallejo, weathering by thin acrylic paint and poster paint, then apply clear coat spray as finish, all done by paint brush except for finish.....not a mainstream modeling technique.🙄

I confess that I intended to collect pictures which look dirty enough as reference for practice stronger weathering @@

Rafale must be one of the most elegant fighter of the world, may be due to this fact, it's rarely to see a dirty looking work.
As far as I am concerned,
there is no clean marine plane on the earth, so this is what happened......Rafale can carry two MBDA apache like this, however it seems that uncommon showed on any loadout chart.......
By the way I'm not sure whether the fuel tanks can carry like this......
I didn't glued the fuel tanks thus the pattern can be changed, but it's not very stable though="=
Thanks for your watching!

Outstanding! I love what if stuff. Great idea on the spy plane photo. How did you do it?
I used nEOiMAGING4 to desaturate and blur the photo. Take picture outside seems to be better than indoor.

Owing to the front portion within the Warsaw Pact. East Germany received advanced version of soviet weapon to against NATO. Ye-6T-3 as one of the canard nose intake jet (another one is Ye-152M), canard increased lift and improved agility. However may be it also caused some flight control problem, after the prototype was crashed, the project had been canceled. Just let me assumed that the problem was solved and exported to East Germany and piloted by Sigmund Jähn, the first german in space (such a complex ´_ゝ`).
The modification was based on Revell 04346, which is plenty of indented rivet and recessed panel lines,a very brilliant kit indeed.
Coloured with black acrylic paint first, then applied Citadel ironbreaker. It's matt texture, but at least way better than lame normal metallic acrylic paint@@.
Add the canard with plastic sheet.
I applied the right bottom wing roundel in wrong direction, so I had to repaint it. How dumb am I? Seriously =..=
Here is the result:
I heard that sunshine is the best light for take picture, maybe it is true......
I tried to make a spy satellite style image, just for fun......
Thanks for your watching!

Proposed by Arado company in response to the Amerika Bomber project, that would capable of striking America from Germany. It has never been built, but looks futuristic and evil at the same time.
The cockpit is well detailed, it is a shame that almost can't see after glued the fuselage.
Thanks for your watch.
I pressed enter by accident and submit article just after insert the first photo, this is so dumb.( º﹃º )

I found the T-10-17 prototype with anti-flutter weight, on the other hand, the B&W photo shows no red star on position if it is left vertical tail? huh......

According to the refference, Su-27 red 36 left tail hit the P3B engine prop and damaged, but I noticed that the widespread black and white picture of it looked not like left tail! Anybody get some idea?

I know it used to be the East German 604 red, I just simply uploaded same angle picture that I had, it was my oversight.
