Shenyang J-15 'Chinese Navy 2017' - Hasegawa 1:72

to make the Shenyang J-15 Flying Shark:

Source: http://navyrecognition.com/

The J-15 Flying Shark is based on the Su-33 design, but it is fitted with indigenous engines, weapons and radar. In many aspects the J-15 is similar to Shenyang J-11 air superiority aircraft that is based around the similar Su-27 airframe.

A quick look inside the box:

As I said on your PLAN submarine build - I detest the Chinese regime & what its military is doing but;


And, that said, I'll be watching (&, as usual, enjoying the progress) but I'll only comment on the finished build. :smiley:

I can't help you but am I correct in thinking that it's the bit of the shark fin that extends onto the left rudder (or, rather, the bit that doesn't) that's the problem? ???

Superb build. Restrained & realistic weathering... one that simply 'looks right'.
