Mig-39K (Mig 1.44 Navalised)

COMRADES!!

Yes, we are here to document the history of the glorious Naval Aviation Regiments' accomplishments, but this is the latest incarnation of the intrepid pilots who fly off the Motherland's carriers.

This is the Mig-39K air superiority fighter, developed from the prototype Mig 1.44 flight demonstrator.  It replaces the SU-27K on the larger carriers in the fleet (the four Ul'yanovsk Class supercarriers, and the three Krasny Tovarish Class Mega-carriers (massive 1400 ft metal beasts existing in my mind only... at the moment)).

This model is a 1/72 scale Zvezda Mig 1.44.  I added a tailhook from a SU-27K that is in great disrepair.

Anatoly.....again, weary, weary sveet !



I can't wait to get my hands on one of those kits......and in other news, I've flown the 1.44 on 'Air Force Delta Strike', and it's not that good......the vectored thrust Flankers are better, as is the Sukhoi Berkut.

But that's only a game !
