Flankerman Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Finally finished - my Su-27IB conversion - combining the front end of an Italeri Su-34 mated to the back end of a Heller Su-27UB trainer to make the prototype Su-34.... (exactly what Sukhoi did! - grafting a new front end onto a Su-27UB) The WIP is here...... I wanted to make my 'Platypus' as it was displayed to the leaders of the CIS countries near Minsk, Belorussia in 1992.... fully tooled up with a full load of dummy weapons... Note the differences to the final production Su-34 - no fat tailboom, single main wheels, taller fins and metal radome. Underside view showing weapons..... I was trying to replicate this configuration as seen during the presentation to CIS leaders at Machulischi, near Minsk, Belarus..... This is what I ended up with..... Decals are from the stash - as are some of the weapons.... A few more images - including build photos - here. Ken 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
