Another thing that will be available at the end of next week is the Su-22 shock cone. It comes with the controll rods for the 4 air preasure doors at the nose of the aircraft. They are visible when you look down the air duct.

:analintruder: Well, so much for my HAD Models nose cone bit... :banghead:

Will open "they're" forward fuselage on my Kitty Hawkes kit in order to replace it for this one.

Yeh, me definitely will.

Also, I've travelled 50 clicks in order to visit my fella Mirto in the suburbs just so that I were able to use his Facebook account to learn more regarding this RMD Manufaktur bit - I don't have a Facebook account for I think it's the Devil - but hell if we could find the info you posted above, V.P. :hmmm:Not even the piccies.

Elusive - and enticing - piece of info.

Cheers,

Nowadays masters are often designed using CAD and 3D printing. CWS masters are made "old school".

This is the Cold War Studios nose cone.

:analintruder: Really? Shoulda waited 'til Stani released his bit... But anxiousness, y'know; the minute there's a CWS bit ready for the reaping, I can't hold back.

Usually, I'm fan of Cold War Studio stuff,

Compared to HAD and Kasl offerings....hmm...

if you look at pictures of the real thing ,then certainly the painting of the full scale nose cone looks a bit wonky!! this might just be a help rather than a hinderance?

These Iranian single seaters are M4 so definitely buildable with the Kh kit!!

Mmh I don't think so. The rear fuselage looks fat so it's Tumanski-equipped. Su-22UM3 I believe.

you are absolutely right, the lower twoseater is Trumansky equipped!:  also the nozzle is shorter...

The Peruvian bird has - in the profile - the correct rear fuselage... 

 

V.P.

Unfortunately not even this....

It shows the same profile, even the fin intake is there....

Just the demarkation are of a Su-22M3

:(

i have given up hope ..

the rest of the scheme is very welcome though!

would have liked a current Syrian or Irani scheme in addition ;)

 

Edit: a Syrian version was in the latest (German tiger fin ) boxing... did not notice until today!

Thats incorrect. Peruvian flew Tumanksy powered fitters, totally different rear profile. Currently Vespa Models is working on a conversion set for R29-300 engined Fitters.

What am I missing?

 

EDIT: Silly me: it's for the underneath of the wing...:coat:

 

I'll leave this here in case anyone else is as dense as me.
