This is the Trumpeter Su-15TM, which is a very nice kit (fits well, lovely surface detail – not all of it correct) but as a model of the real aircraft has well-established shape problems, most notably errors in the nose and tail. These I went some way to addressing with a Pavla nose and vertical tail. I also used the Pavla cockpit set and a Master pitot probe, the latter being both a finely manufactured item and so easy to assemble. In addition, I lengthened the nose gear leg by 3.5mm to give a more correct nose-up stance and added a little detail. The Ukrainian markings for Blue 28 are from the AModel Su-15TM kit and the stencils are from Begemot. The wing pylons probably should be late type by the time this aircraft was flying in Ukrainian colours but I realised that too late.

Hello, this is my quite converted Amodel 1:72 Su-15T T-58T Prototype. Red 37. This plane was in Solntsevo, then in Khodynka museum first standing in the meadow and i hope it is now salvaged in Medyn. The Amodel is superdetailed to the standard of the VES one...

How does the A-model 1:72 Su-15TM compare with the old NPO VES kit ? ( for someone used to Italeri / Revell the VES kit was a nasty shock - soft plastic, giant sprues, bits that didn't fit ..... finished article now sitting on the 'shelves of shame' )
