Hope you like it.

The pilot & ladder came from another kit as Tamiya does not include them.

Nice! Not a typical Tamiya subject, is it a reboxed kit?

Very sharp work on the Sea Flanker. Excellent paint work on the scheme. Is this the 1/72 kit. I used to have that kit. If so, did you rescribe the panel lines? As I recollect on the kit I had it had raised panel lines. Beautiful model. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks friends. It's a reboxed kit from italeri su-27d sea flanker in 1/72. This is an old kit with raised panel lines. I did not recribe the panel lines. I also used spare decals from my tool box to make it an active sea Flanker in service.

Nice build, really love the paint job.

Tangent: Was the box labeled "Sea Flanker"?

Chasing the ultimate build.

The Su-27's capabilities are formidable. The Flanker can reach Mach 2.35 with a thrust-to-weight ratio above one (depending on fuel load). It can carry up to eight air-to-air missiles (generally of short to medium range; other variants specialize in Beyond Visual Range combat) or an array of bombs and missiles.
