It’s actually pre-built, I just added the weapons.
Loadout is: R-73, R-27, KH-29, KH-59, KH-31.
what is it hunting with that? An entire US tank batallion? Also you forgro to mention KAB-500

Yep I lowkey forgot it was there lmao
One thing that irks me a bit is the nozzles. For some reason modellers often forget that without power in the system hydraulics doesn’t work and nozzles point down under their own weight and gravity when it is on the ground. Even gaijin was too lazy to implement this into the game for some reason

The Su-35 of the same serie actually has them tilted down, which makes sense since like you said they have no power.

Yeah, it look nice. Although i think Khibiny are a bit too slim, they look more like Sorbtsya.
you can see how chonky they are
can’t find a good photo of Sorbtsya for some reason
Noticed that too now that you mention that, the diameter is kinda off.

Where did you get these? I got 2 models a few years ago from AirModels, which apparently just ships out models from other companies apparently?-
I ended up getting a Su-30SM in Russian Knights colors and a YF-4E, both from Hobbymaster.
If I can find any pics of them on my desk I’ll send them (They got really messed up while I was moving.)
That’s the brand actually, just not the weapons though.
They have some good ones and bad ones but they are a bit expensive, I stopped buying them 1 or 2 years ago I think.

Where do you get the weapons then?
I got my Phantom and Flanker around 3 years ago as well.
99% sure it was this one, 1/72.
Spoiler
Look up: calibre wings weapons

Sweet, if I ever decide to get another Russian model I’ll probably grab some of those as well.
or I could slap Kh-31s and Kh-59s on a YF-23…
You gotta sand the little knobs on the pylons a bit, because otherwise they don’t stay on.

Is that the same type of TVC of the OVT?
Exactly, moreover, engines themselves are AL-31F-M1, same as on Su-27SM. Althought the airframe itself is regular old Su-27S with most of the avionics removed. Buuuut, it had said avionics at one point sooo… 13.0 Su-27 with better engines and actual 3D TVC brother
