First of all this kit is a beauty easy to build,Great detail,and not very expensive.Another thing that surprised me was the Size of this thing it's roughly twice the size of a 1/72 Mig-23 this is one BIG Bird I'm not sure what to do with the weapons load as of course it's all Russian ordinance,I have enough 1/72 ordinance to sink a battleship (1/72 Battleship of course) but the origional kit ordinance looks so interesting.I'll have to think on it some anyway i got all of 3 pics of the thing before my batteries Croaked so I need to buy some more
So ON WITH THE PICS!!!!!

ENJOY!!!

Wow, Wulf is out to an early lead...

I'm guessing anti-shipping in the blue scheme?

Oh, why won't someone release this bird in 1/48???

Nice cockpit job so far. But I don't see the toilet

Not a Su-34, but I managed to get close to a Flanker at Finingley Airshow in years gone by (at least 14 years ago, last one was '93) & I was amazed by how large it was compared to other fighters.

Good work Panzer, I love the Fullback & can't wait to see it with Meatballs!

thanks for the compliments guys.

Well Mossie and I have an idea of the size of this thing but I figured I would give a size reference shot for you all. I had taken my full aircraft shot with 2 other models a Academy Mig-23 and a DML Mig-15 bolth in 1/72 Heres the full pic reduced to fit the screen

now you can get a feel for the size of this thing

That's some really sweet detail work in the 'pit there Panzer! I can't wait to see how this beauty progresses.

Well I was able to get the tail fins on as well as the exausts and canopy,I also started on some of the ordinance .I'm still deciding on using us type ordinance or some of the soviet stuff ,some of the soviet armament just looks too cool to be dropped in the spares box

.Well I was able to squeeze 1 more shot out of my camera before it said NO MORE Gimme NEW BATTERIES LOL

so here it is

Help me out here - I'm a bit clueless on Rusky ordnance. What are we looking at? They both look cool, those top ones look like some AIM-54s that have had the Eddie or JHM treatment!

The ramjet-powered missiles would take only a few tweaks to represent production versions of Vought's LVRJ efforts, the kind of thing the JASDF might have acquired after US interest lapsed.

Brian da Basher · August 06, 2007, 01:16:02 PM

That ordnance is so intimidating I went and hid behind the couch the moment the pic downloaded! This one's gonna be killer, Panzer!

Those missiles are from ICM's Modern Russian Missiles set. I have 2 boxes in the stash - Soon I will have more, thanks to my super secret cloning facility...MWAHAHAHAHAHA

PanzerWulff · August 06, 2007, 04:41:01 PM

Actually there the ones that came with the kit LOL

GTX · August 06, 2007, 11:15:52 PM

The top ones are Zvedzda-Strela Kh-31 (NATO-Code: AS-17 "KRYPTON") ASMs/ARMs:

The bottom ones look like the Vympel Kh-29L (NATO-Code: AS-14 "KEDGE"):
