SU-35 T-10BM Questions

Any idea how much work is involved in turning a normal SU-35 into the aforementioned? go t yearling to do the splinter Camo version which I believe was the 10BM according to Begemot?

 

Thanks ,Chris

Hello Chris

I am not an expert on Su-35 but 901 has what looks like some kind of local external strengthening between the engines ...

... which seems to be absent from 902, 904 and series production machines.

 

There seems to be some slight difference between aircraft in application, position and size of fluorescent position bars ...

... and there is also an inconsistency about various bumps on that fairing between the engines (I thought that thing is suppose to house radar?). Also, cooling/exhaust gills above gun housing apparently evolved from multiple early configuration on 901 to series production configuration later on the same aircraft.

Not much, but somebody with better understanding of the subject will probably chime in soon and fill the blanks. Cheers

Jure

The Hasegawa kit reflect the early configuration with the bracket between the engines and the upper location of the chaff/flare boxes.

As a mater of fact, I believe Hasegawa reissued the kit with the splinter camo for bort 901.
