Nature abhors a straight line Squint - it's no longer a collection of straight lines but a dark fuzzy outline of an Su-57 that is smaller than the actual aircraft against a lighter outline that is more representative of the sky. In a turning, visual fight it suddenly turns out it's closer than your first glance suggested meaning that you need to rethink your shot / manoeuvre and that's to your disadvantage. Similar to the false bows and sterns on battleships that would give an erroneous range and hence an incorrect torpedo solution when glimpsed through a periscope. Mind you the distortion on that canopy probably means that the opfor pilot probably thinks they're fighting a Hasegawa Egg Plane anyway !

Aardvark Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Who was worried about rivets and panel lines? Was ten years ago: Now: B.R. Serge P.S. They just switched from painting with Zvezda enamels to painting with AKAN enamels, so rivets and line panels are not visible, now! 😉😁😁 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if that doesn't cut it, there is always the backup chaff/flare/novitsjok dispenser in the back. Thanks for the assembly line pictures, by the way - I haven't seen these before.

Mike Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 She's a lot slicker than the prototypes, which I guess is to be expected. I've always liked the Pak-Fa as it was originally called (I prefer that name), and am looking forward to a decent kit in 1:48 that doesn't represent the early ones.

Mike, as for me, there is something soapy in this! 😉😁 Ahhh....I forgot to add that Pak* was the name of the teacher of higher mathematics https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Пак,_Витольд_Витольдович at my technical university, to whom I once took an exam in this subject. Since I do not have very good relations with higher mathematics (I had no luck with good teachers, as I think), my memories are not very good either ... therefore, "Pak-Fa" associations are for me "mathematics and soap" ...😁 But in some sense any modern aircraft for designer it's many "mathematics and soap"! 😉😁 B.R. Serge ______________ * - many stories were told about him ... one of the most famous is when a student could not get a grade in higher mathematics for a long time, and one day he was in a hurry for an exam, stumbled, fell, dropped a student's grade book in which grades were given, a grade book dropped out of my hands and slid across the floor through the gap between the floor and the door and flew into the auditorium where V. Pak was taking exams in higher mathematics for students. The student froze in horror and bewilderment, because this was his last chance to pass the exam and in case of failure, he would simply be kicked out of the university. Imagine his surprise when, five minutes later, from under a crack in the door of the lecture hall, his grade book flew back across the floor. He took it with trepidation and excitement, opened it .... and was surprised to see there a positive assessment that allowed him to continue his studies at the university.... According to rumors, when Pak was asked why he gave a good grade in this case, he said, "Because of the originality! So nobody gave me the grade book yet!" 😁😁😁 What is true in this, and what a fairy tale now no one will say ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 😁 On this topic was many discussion about "Su-57 really true stealth or not really stealth?" 😁 In reality Su-57 have unique high-tech stealth mode, it is enough for the pilot to press the top secret button in the cockpit: "View like as self-propelled gun!" and it: flies across the sky! 😉😁 How do you's like that, my dear F-35 and F-22 fans, can they stealth in this mode? 😉😁 If seriously, news from 31.10.2020 "The second production aircraft of the fifth generation Su-57 made a successful test flight in the skies over Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Air Force may receive the first batch of aircraft at the end of this - beginning of next year." B.R. Serge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
