Default More on the GIodi 1/72 Su-27 (photos attached)

I am sad. Giodi decided to go ahead with the highly innacurate Chinese Su-27. It is painted in the Russian livery (blue camouflage), comes with a Naval Flanker's nose gear...and an arrester hook!








notice the hook? (this is the Russian version, but the Chinse version is the same mould with different decals!)


If I am not wrong, the Naval Flanker is called Su-33 and should have cannard wings, which this model lacks. In any case, China does not openly own any Carrier-borne Flanker....

look at the real thing....notice the nose landing gear? it is one sigle wheel w/mudgard...unlike the naval version (on the model)



no matter su-27 or -30....they are all grey!
