Originally a Su-30KN
by Zvezda, I modified it into TNI AU version of Su-30MK. I left off the intake
radar warning antenna fairings and flattened the fin tips like the Chinese -MKK. About
the model itself, there is a great article regarding Su-27 Flanker and its
variants by Ken Duffey, a Russian aviation expert at http://www.lindenhillimports.com/flankers.htm
Built in gear up
configuration, the main gear doors need a lot... well, a ton of filler to make
it blend to the fuselage. Stand was from Zvezda MiG-1.44 kit with
self-printed placard.

I don't really remembe r
the colors I
used for this model as I painted this a long time ago. Decals are a Scale
Nutz product which is good although there is no stencils supplied. No weathering
applied as this was intended for a clean-desktop model.
The model was presented to
Indonesian AF Deputy Chief of Staff when I and my friends was invited to his
office last June.
