Supertom Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hi everyone, I've decided to build an Ethiopean Air Force Su-27, but I'm having trouble with the roundels. I wanted to build Su-27 #1953, and when I ordered my decals (Hi-Decal 72-050), I ended up getting an updated set. What I thought I was getting for roundels was... ....which you combine the two to form the roundel, but what I ended up getting was... I know Hi-Decal is pretty good on their research, but I've not had much luck finding this roundel on an actual ETAF Su-27, even on Google. Can anyone verify that this roundel is correct? Thank you.

Hook Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Great pictures - especially the last one, very evocative! Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertF Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Supertom, did you find the correct roundels in the end? I am planning an ETAF Flanker myself (saw them in a flypast in 2019 during their Armed Forces Day) so have an interest in this, as well as in any WIP reports/tips you would be willing to share Cheers, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) These are the correct current markings used on EtAF Su-27: Hi-Decal HD48022 & HD72050 Element A - (two of these are applied on the fin only, so you get markings for two airframes) #1953 has been credited with a MiG-29 shot down during the war with Eritrea in 2000. you also get markings for two Eritrean Flankers ( 608 & 609 ) with splinter scheme and fake canopies, two Angolan Su-27 ( C110 ) and 27UB ( I100 ) in different jungle camos and an Indonesian Su-27SK ( TS-2701 ) in grey pattern.

RobertF Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Thanks Diego! using those on a Hobby Boss Flanker B would turn it into a nice memento to my time there. Going to get a set. Cheers, Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
