The Kh-35 antiship missiles are
scratchbuilt, the big R-27 Alamos are from Model Point, the rest from the
kit.
The decals are taken from various
sets, Hi-Decal and Sol
amongst the list as well as some hand painted ones (St Andrew flags and Eagles
on tails). Lots of plumbing was added to the landing gears, decades to decide on
the most accurate colors. I have made the Sol Su-35 and 37 as well and for all 3
used a 1/144 Su-27 as a sort of color sketch to determine the coloring. It
helped to determine color relations before adding them to the main kit thus
avoiding excessive layers of paint.
Then some paint chipping and fading
all from photos of Red 67 in the books available to me. The Su-35(Bort 710) is
my favorite and if you like this one I'd love to send it sometime. I saw that
Linden Hill is making decals for the Su-33 and wanted to get this out before I
saw them (ordered 2)!
