Martinnfb Posted May 3, 2019 Author Posted May 3, 2019 nothing purdy, what about the thick spine and humpback fuel tanks . Mug-29 would not be suitable for the wast northern territories , it was designed and a frontal fighter following the Soviet military doctrine . Su-27 family fits the bill. 5

Those airframes are all in their late thirties, and not used to that sort of weather. Their noses will start to run, arthritis will start to play up, and that old Football Knee injury will give 'em gyp. It doesn't get that cold at altitude here! 8

BlrwestSiR Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Maybe we'll get the Chinese version of the Flanker instead? That, would be interesting... Better yet, have someone dust off and update the Arrow blueprints and build what we should have gotten all along. Carl 4

Expand Yesterday, Mike O put up photos of a build, that he had recycled when it got damaged in transit. I thought to myself... "I could have sworn I had those decals somewhere" So, I went looking, and managed to find them! But in the process of doing that, I came across a small uncomplicated kit that has inspired me to get it built, as I had completely forgotten about it. So don't sweat it... sometimes inspiration finds you. 5

Ryan Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 Thanks guys, I know just whining about it. Maybe you share the same feelings but when I'm not on a project I feel I should be on one and it eats at me. 7
