David,
of all the Flankers released till now, I believe the Su-34 (Strike Flanker) is the most accurate, but there are three variants.
1) white radome, grey-blue camo, number 43
2) grey radome, green-blue camo, number 43
3) grey radome, green-blue camo, number 45
of these three models, the third one is IMO 99% accurate, it looks like the one Sukhoi used for demo flights in Paris some years ago...the first version is quite close to reality, but unfortunately I don't think that one ever flew (and it never carried any weapons). If u really want to get one of these, pick number 3.
The naval flanker has the right landing gear and the right arrestor hook, but the wrong livery (never saw any grey-white naval flanker) and the wrong canard wing's shape...
the Chinese and Russian Su-27s on the other hand are very wrong, with the same landing gear and hook as the naval version, w/o the canard wings...that doesn't turn a naval flanker into a su-27!
