The Su-30MKM was made by converting
the Heller Su-27UB. I added canards and their mounting shoulders from thick
plastic card, the rudders were increased in chord, the RMAF-specific MAWS and
Laser Warning receivers were added and downward-deflected Thrust Vector Control
nozzles were fitted.

The twin-wheel nose undercarriage was
scratch-built, complete with its distinctive slatted anti-FOD guard. Other
changes were made to the cockpit - MFD screens etc and the Infra-Red
Search-and-Track (IRST) ball on the windscreen was offset to starboard and
a retracted IFR probe was fitted.
The model was airbrushed using
Humrol enamels - Hu-165 is a good match. The decals came from the RMAF
sheet by VFA Decals - but I had to make my own 'slime lights' that are fitted to
the fuselage, wingtip rails and fin.
