mark73 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) To all,After finishing the Fouga (still brings a tear!!) and between F-15 Eagle and !/144 Group builds, here is a retro take on a modern Russian fighter.Following the worldwide financial crisis the Russian President adjusts his Defence spending, in order to meet these new targets the Airforce cancel the PAK-FA project before its first flight and it diverts the cut down budget and new technology to help bring the S-37 from Tech Demonstrator to front-line fighter. In doing so the Russian's become the first Airforce to operate a supersonic swept forward fighter in daily frontline operations.This pleases the Russian President and he increases spending again.....The EndAs always all comments welcome, the scheme is a nod towards the old " Flagon" colour scheme and was painted using a Humbrol 11 rattle can and hairy stick application of various other enamels with a final drizzle of Tamiya Flat varnish to seal the lot.Photobucket is creating snags will post more images soon....sorted Edited January 9, 2013 by mark73 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMChladek Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Oooooo, pretty silver paintwork! It does indeed make the jet look about two decades older than it actually is. I like it, I REALLY like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
