Sergey Bunevich - Sukhoi Su-33 Flanker

[gsnde]

The first of a whole bunch of Russian aircraft that I want to do. This is the wet model, starting from the Admiral Kuznetsov.

Wow nice shot Martin.....but ......erm.....are they "Flankered" Buccaneers in the background? Or am I just going nuts?

[gsnde]

Nope, Daryl

I really don't know what they should represent. But whatever it is, they look strange. I was tempted to let the Su-33 start from the Kiev

For a minute a thought they were YAK-38’s, being a soviet carrier. But they don't have a T tail, there elevators are much lower on the airframe. So they must be reversed engineered Buccs

[Stewart Pearson]

They are the top secret latest design from Mikoyan Gurevich.

It's designation is the Mig 44A Bananaski!

From the recently released ADM Kuznetsov package w/ SBAI Su-33.

Eh, which one would that be?

[gsnde]

The carrier is from CarrierOps. The Su-33 is from Sergey's base package plus the texture pack from Nickman (both in the AI reference).

Thanks Martin, I keep forgetting about the mil AI reference site Just need a version of the Kuznetsov for FS9 and I'm all set

Don't judge a book by its cover... It was always on the back of my mind that all this looked so strange and that in my memory the Kuznetsov has a ski-jump bow. So I went back and surprise, surprise... the model name of the Kuznetsov says arcroyal and if you move your aircraft inside the carrier it looks rather British there.
