Title: Sukhoi VFSu-22 1/48 - polish veritech fighter...well, kind of :)
Post by: Artoor_K on October 03, 2016, 01:27:45 AM: Hello,

Few weeks ago I saw very nice photo of polish attack airplane - Su-22.
(http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a615/helmutvp/VFSu-22/14424903_1310710322274992_1478075812910880511_o_zpshp9inbfj.jpg) (http://s1286.photobucket.com/user/helmutvp/media/VFSu-22/14424903_1310710322274992_1478075812910880511_o_zpshp9inbfj.jpg.html)

Look closely...she has similar movable wing parts to VF-0 Phoenix. Which lead me to idea...how would look polish veritech fighter? :)
I don't know if there is any veritech fighter with one engine. I don't think so. I will modify Su-22 to make it two-engined looking :)
I bought this set:

I'm going to use a lot of spare and kitbashed parts. I hope I'll be able to show you Macross face of Su-22 :)
Wish me luck :)

Ben,
will that feint be to the left or to the right? :)

Great idea Artoor, Su-22 was always a favorite of mine.

Post by: elmayerle on October 03, 2016, 07:02:52 AM: Oh, this is going to be awesome. For the twin-engine aspect, see what you can appropriate from a 1/48 Su-15 then use the un-used single-engine parts to make a Su-15 variant with one large single engine instead of two medium engines.
