#SukhoiSundays and I’m not convinced the two Iranian wrecks in the central photo are Su-24s at all. Perhaps the burnt wreck in the left photo was once a Fencer? Ah well

Fantastic. Reposting these Fitters for #SukhoiSundays

A model of a jet aircraft on a base which looks like part of a handstand area in a sandy airfield. The camouflage consist of nice bright colours

A slightly different one for #SukhoiSundays. This is the Hobby Boss 1:48 Sukhoi Su-17 Fitter which I made recently, in Angolan colours. I enjoyed making it very much, but am not too impressed with how it’s turned out. Ah well, it is done now #scalemodels #histscalemodels
A middle aged man sitting behind a desk and holding a very large sheet of paper, presumably a technical drawing of an aircraft.
Pavel Sukhoi, creator of the Sukhoi design studio. Born in Belarus in 1895, died eighty years later in Moscow having designed everything from a little prop-driven light aircraft (the Su-2) to the Su-27 Flanker #SukhoiSundays
North Korean Su-25 Frogfoot. The new weapon system that’s being mentioned here seems to be a programmable stand-off missile, like a Taurus. Reposting for #SukhoiSundays

Ah a Fencer. A prope late Cold War-era beauty #SukhoiSundays
Nice paint job. #SukhoiSundays
Reposting for #SukhoiSundays. I love the dazzle camouflage on this Su-35. This beauty is huge, it’s longer than a Lancaster bomber and is heavier too

Many of us have probably thought at one time or another in our lives, ‘what would a Flanker look like if I launched it out of the barrel of a cannon?’
well now we know
India will be retiring its last MiG-21s in September, so it will be a sad month for classic Cold War Soviet aviation. End of an era #SukhoiSundays

Picked up this 1:48 scale kit of a Sukhoi Su-17 Fitter at the Midlands Air Museum over the weekend. I love these Su-17 beauties but IDK when I’ll get to make it, am still only halfway through a kit of the Vasa #SukhoiSundays
A Sukhoi Su-34 at Zhokovsky before delivery to the Algerian AF. Love that desert camouflage. They must have some very orange desert in Algeria #SukhoiSundays
Only 45 years between this and the Su-27 Flanker #SukhoiSundays
Superb face-on photo of a Polish Su-22, still with its landing parachute billowing behind it. Reposting for #SukhoiSundays
