Whiffery from wrong artist's impressions

Ah, insta-whifs, gotta love 'em.  The Revell Su-27 from the 80's is a personal favorite of mine.

Can we see this?

MiG-29. Really beautiful

I have an old Bill Gunston book from the 80's before the world got to see the Su-27 and MiG-29 for real that has those drawings (in fact I bought that book because of the inaccurate drawings!).  I've been wanting to build a model of the fake -29 since.  I think I can use bits from the front end of a Su-15 and Yak-25 canopy, and the tail end and intakes of an F-18.  I'm not sure about the wings, though I'm sure I've seen another plan with the same shape of wings but I can't for the life of me remember from where.

I Think I have that one too. the flanker looks like a Hornet from the Side but the sukhoi T-10 prototype from the top --very intriguing

Also I have been working on of the Hokums Weaver posted. Fun kit 

Indeed - the thing is that the "bunkum Hokum" is an entirely credible design. Indeed, it could be argued that it's a more credible design than the real thing, given that the effectiveness of the latter's single seat layout is still hotly debated.

Put up almost five years ago here.

The various Jane's Guides impressions of Soviet equipment could be a good source of such ideas.
