1/48 Su-30MK Flanker-C Demonstrator


Recommended Posts

Pleased to present my latest build. This is my 4th flanker depicting a Su-30MK demonstrator with weapon load. Due to lack of OEM decal, some parts are improvised. Canopy is loosely attached without glue.

wow, amazing stuff, did you take any progress photographs? especially on the camo painting stage? would love to view them

Thanks for the complement, unfortunately I don't have any in progress pics. What I did was I drew the outline of brown and grey patterns with pencil on top of the white primer. No need to worry about non-straight lines, masking tape along the lines will solve that. It's pretty easy.

thanks for that tip, but would have been nice to see some pics thought, its a marvelous job. i've been itching to do a camo jet but dont have the guts to start a freehand camo, so might settle for a camo that needs some masking.

thanks again

Thank you for the kind comments, the first pic is one of those rare photo I found at some airshow. The story is I had originally planned to build the Su-37 demonstrator with the famous sandy brown camo but opt for Su-30 instead once I found this. Also found this to help me with the patterns, which was tremendous help.

Thank you for the kind comments, the first pic is one of those rare photo I found at some airshow.

The Su-30MK demonstrator appeared at Farnborough 1994 - and wowed the crowd with its stunning aerobatic agility.

The international press dismissed these maneouvres as just an airshow stunt - because the Flanker was without any underwing stores.

The following day - on the orders of the late Mikhail Simonov (Sukhoi General Designer) - it appeared with a full array of underwing weaponry - (dummies, but with the correct weights) - and performed its full display again.

That shut the critics up - photo on Airliners.net

Here's mine in 1/72 scale (converted from the Heller Su-27UB kit) - although I didn't quite nail the colours ....

nice and rarely seen variant!

this is not a true MK, no?

short fins, but a rather broad one! or do I misjudge the photos...

whatever, very very nice and welcome build!

thanks for showing!
