Sukhoi VFSu-22 1/48 - polish veritech fighter...well, kind of :)

Hello,

Few weeks ago I saw very nice photo of polish attack airplane - Su-22.


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.

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.

Hello!

I'm just before my wedding but also it's about time to make an update :)

There are two PE panels for cockpit. Seat is from Monogram F-105 and front panel from Su-22





Converted engine section:


Thrust-vectoring elements from SV-51 with additional exhaust PE parts:



Fuselage as it is now:


Wings cut to shape:
