Flankerman Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Just finished - the excellent 1/72 scale T10-10 Flanker prototype from Modelsvit....... This really is the best yet from Modelsvit - crisp moulding with nice engraved panel detail, etched brass parts, self adhesive masks - a complete package. The anti-FOD guard on the nosewheel is realistically done - with a separate wheel and the guard in two halves - unlike the one-piece moulding on some Flanker kits. Spot the difference - first and latest Flankers - T10-10 and Su-35S........ More photos - build and finished model - here. WIP thread - here.

Vultures1 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Lovely job! Interesting comparison with the Su-35S too (which is also very nice) Modelsvit seem to go from strength to strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

128fiddler Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hi all, Sorry to revive this thread, however, I don't think anyone would mind regarding the subject. Anyhow, except for some very grainy pictures on a cyrillic forum and the walkaround of the very faded T-10-10 on scalemodels, I would like to find out if there are any other references available regarding the subject. I think some of the Aerofax books by Gordon could maybe be a source? Any sugestions? Thanks in advance! Oh, before I forget, Flankerman, you do always make them very nice, hope mine turns out nearly as good as yours! Greetings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Thanks for reviving this thread, @128fiddler I missed it first time. I remember seeing the very poor quality black and white photos (and the artists impression line drawings). of the first Flankers back in the early 1980's. Teasingly released from behind the Iron Curtain. How things have changed since then. Looks like the Flanker has changed quite a bit since those early versions, too. Nice model, @Flankerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 OKB Sukhoi by Aerofax has a description of the T-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T-10-10 is geometrically different from the very first experimental aircraft only by the nose cone with a skirt, a canopy, maybe engine and the aforementioned camber of fin. Most complete story T-10 narrated in the book Bedretdinov I. et al. "Fighter Su-27. Pt.1 Beginning story" and A.Fomin "Su-27 story fighter": A good walkaround T-10-1 from Monino is here: http://zabmodels.mybb.ru/viewtopic.php?id=571 Photo T-10-10 in service very little: almost not.

128fiddler Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hi all, @Aardvark, at scalemodels.ru there's a walkaround of the actual -10, with 59 detail and overal pictures, but good to see the -1 is equally documented. Then the 2 books you posted, are they solely in Russian/Cyrilic writing or bilangual with English? @Flankerman, when clicking the link, there's only your built report, but somehow I can't see your pictures from Lugansk, so hopefully... 😉 Also, what colours did you use as somehow the original colours seem to be a bit different to the pre-series Su-27 like in the small picture in Aardvark's post. The metalic nose piece seams also to have a yellowy tone, which I was thinking it could be a result of some sort of chromating or more Titanium? Also that trapezium shape just below the white antenna tip is a rather yellowish tone... looks like primer but on the other had it could like fiberglass dielectrical material. MSv says it's a grey iirc. So could you give your expertise on the colours you used please? Thanks y'all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The walkround is at the bottom of the build photos - the link should take you directly there - if not, just scroll down to the bottom... I used AKAN Su-27 paints on my T10-10......

Strange, Don't know about others, but directly below your shots of theT-10-10 with the Su-35S it ends. When I click the link it indeed starts at the top of the page... maybe it's me though, i dunno 😉 Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
128fiddler Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 @Flankerman , in meantime I've clicked the link on my home computer and there it's working, however on my smartphone it doesn't. That's what made all the fuss... Thanks for the addition of great reference pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
