Trumpeter missed a few things - the curved fillet between the wing L/E and the ESM pod (when fitted).....

... the Blind Flying curtains inside the cockpit.....

Although they include the fixed boarding ladder - Trumpeter missed the step mounted on the anti-FOD guard.....

... and nosecones - the Trumpeter nose was scraped and sanded to a sharper profile.

The Su-27IB is converted from a Heller Su-27UB back end - mated to an Italeri front end.....

Very nice indeed, and good to see the comparison with the prototype model too. Great attention to detail as always, this is a super example.

Looks great! Just finished one of these myself and I must admit your comparison to the Italeri kit and build blog gave me a lot of inspiration and convinced me to try the Trumpeter kit 😁
