dov Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Hallo Today I am confused by different paint shemes of R-27 missiles. No matter which version. R or T or ER or ET. On some pictures they are seen with black cross strips on the missile body a few inches of widths. Specially on the Su-34. I do asume, that this are not operative weapons. Just marked for filming or something like this. What is it really for? Happy modelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 The black stripes indicate insert missile rounds. Someone with better technical knowledge than me will be able to say whether that means 'practice' or 'drill' rounds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dov Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 Hallo Oh yes, it was a help. I thought about this matter as you wrote. But I was far from sure. I do not have the idea of building an aircraft in developement. My Su-34 will be an early batch one, with bright camo and white radom.

At least in NATO, "drill rounds" are for practicing loading and unloading only, not meant for flight. AFAIK - @Selwyn or someone else who unlike me actually has experience in the armed forces will be along shortly to prove me wrong. AFAIK the Russian missiles with the zebra stripes are inert but with active seeker heads. Cheers, Andre Edited March 19, 2023 by Hook 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimpyboy Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) You could always do a mixed load of stripeys and non-stripeys! And there's always red... https://defense-update.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/su34-flyby.jpg http://авиару.рф/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/1a.Opytnyj-Su-27IB-T-10V-1-v-polete.-600x600.jpg But, if plain white is your thing... But, if you really want all stripey R-27s... https://defense-update.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/su34-weapons.jpg Edited March 20, 2023 by Blimpyboy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov Posted March 20, 2023 Author Share Posted March 20, 2023 @Blimpyboy, great thanks. A mixed load looks good. I will use a tank in white at centerline. Two cruise missiles under the engine. At the wing tip the pods. The most outer station the R-73. At the wing inner station maybe the fast sleek missile, or just R-23 ET/R. This 23 with zebra! Anyway great thanks to Japan.
