« on: August 18, 2018, 05:59:47 PM »
over the past 3 weeks ive been busy at the bench during my holiday.
with 5 new 1/144 models being finished. one is a realworld Russian Su-34.
the other 4 are shown here, and are part of the New Flanders Peoples Air Force (VolksLuchtmacht).
note that these models are the first WHIFF's to be painted with an airbrush, so these were pretty much test models for spraying and masking tests.

first up are 2 Sukhoi SU-47M's, witch are operated by 7JSmd "Jan Olieslagers" and 8th JSmd "Willy Coppens".
(*JSmd = Jacht Smaldeel, english: Fighter Squadron)
note the 8th JSmd is tasked with long-range interceptions and anti-spydrone ops, for the latter, the Volksluchtmacht equips them with the K-100 long-range air-to-air missile, of witch a small bach was ordered. a total of 30 Su-47M's have been ordered (14 new and 16 converted & upgraded from Su-47A's)

kits: revell (one with the wings & missiles from a trumpeter Su-47)













the second pair, is a pair of Sukhoi Su-32FN's (export su-34's), these make up the long-range strike force of the VolksLuchtmacht.
a total of 20 have been ordered, 12 in a standard configuration, operated by 26th JSmd "Wolves". 8 other aircraft are configured for nuclear strike missions, for witch it uses the indigenous designed NAR-5 Nuclear cruise missile, it has a range of 300 Kilometers and the power of its warhead is rated at 3 kilotons.

kits: Trumpeter













on the bench:
-various models

on the drawing board:
-various 1/72 TinTin aircraft
