Su-27UB - 21st Century Sparka

Markus
Hi mates,
here's my current project I want to share with you.

Being a huge fan of Soviet/Russian aviation the Flanker family is my particular favourite. Having hoarded multiple boxings of Academy's Flanker I thought it's finally time to build one.

I will utilize Academy's latest reboxing of the venerable Su-27UB kit. Although marketed as a Su-30 the kit still contains all parts to build a standard doubleseater.

For this build I want to refrain from the use of any aftermarket enhancements (there will be one exception though) as I have 7 more Flanker kits (2 single and 5 double seaters) in my stash and don't want to buy aftermarket resin for all of them. I hope it is of use for some of you to see the (well known) weak points of the kit and how they can be improved without resorting to aftermarket enhancements.

Cheers
Markus
