Sky Keg Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Greetings to all, As we all find ourselves in a unique position, it is my expressed and sincere hope that everyone here remain safe and sound for both yourselves and your respective families and friends. Life is going to be very different for all of us. Let`s turn lemons that we have been given into lemonade together. Lord knows, I`ve got plenty of unbuilt kits that are requiring my attention. I completed this kit a few years back and am now just getting around to posting pictures of it. Here are a list of highlights.......... 1. Straightforward build process with few issues of fit of parts. 2. I guessed at the specific colors from what I had “in stock” via the included instruction sheet, books, and internet sources. 3. Built straight out of the box with no aftermarket extras. 4. Weathering and detailing done with pencils, washes, paint, and chalk pastels. I would recommend this kit to all that have an interest in Cold War era Soviet combat aircraft. As always, all comments and criticisms are most welcomed. With much respect, Mike 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Something has gone amiss, (might be my computer) but all I an see is little gray boxes that reads "spacer png". Then again I live in Utah things move differently here. Todd Edited March 22, 2020 by Todders spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hi Todd. I did a double check and everything appeared as normal on my end ( at least ). I too, have experienced those pesky “gray boxes” as well when viewing other posted subjects only to have the pictures appear after a brief pause.

Natter Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I have the pics, and it looks good. This model lurks in my stash and every now and then I buy another bit of aftermarket for it. Whi knows, maybe one day it will get built. Yours is certainly inspirational. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Great looking Flagon, certainly looks different in camo` rather than usual silver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Is that the Flagon with the dragon - or the vessel with the pestle? Sorry, you have to be of a certain age to remember that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Nice job with the Trumpeter Su-15! It's a good kit to build and yours looks great in that camo scheme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Nice work. That looks a lot more like a Flagon than the 'A' version released several years ago John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Nice one. Ever since I saw the Flagon in the Michael J Gething 'Warbirds' book (head-on shot) I have always had a soft spot for this plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger331 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I love these old Cold War Russian jets and living and working in the Baltic States has renewed my interest. You have done a great job with the Trumpeter kit.....though I'm not sure if I prefer the Su-15 in natural metal or the camouflage scheme as you have portrayed. Here is a n/m ex-Ukrainian Air Force example, which resides in a private museum in Lithuania, photographed in more relaxed times. Great build on your own Su-15 Well Done' Sir ! ....and Stay Safe 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Cracking build. Such a brutal looking beast of an aircraft. The kind of plane that would literally beat the air into submission just to get airborne....!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
