Title: 1/72 SU-27 with Variable Geometry
Post by: Starbuck on December 19, 2020, 12:48:08 AM

A fun little project, i gave a Flanker some swing wings.  Encore kit with donor parts from an Italeri Mig-27 and plenty of sheet plastic.

Reminds me a bit of the Su-34VG I sketched up years ago:

I really like that!  It looks much more natural on the -34.  I beefed up the surface area of the wings a little too much.  They were transplanted from a Mig-23, and were too small.  I overcompensated.  Your drawing looks like the perfect size for them.
