60th Anniversary Military Parade Scheme

J-11A is the Chinese licensed version of the famous heavy fighter Su-27SK.

This special scheme appeared at the People's Republic of China 60th National Day Military Parade with red/yellow stripes and National Flag on the front fuselage.

The ICM kit is molded on the old Airfix Su-27 kit with cockpit, front upper fuselage, windshield and canopy parts from Hasegawa's Su-27 kit.  The original injection parts include landing gears, wheels, exhaust nozzles, pylons and missiles, etc, which are in good detail.  The fit of the kit is not so nice, but once you finish sanding, you can get the most accurate Flanker in 1/72 scale.  Much better than the Hasegawa kit.

The build was OOB.  I only add some rivets on the original kit.

The flag decal was  bought from a online home made decal maker in China mainland, while yellow tactical numbers are from my friend Goo Quan's original resin egg plane J-10Q, which you can find on Ebay.

Colours are all by GSI Mr.Color.

  • Nosecone is C305+Black(a little), upper fuselage is C306, lower fuselage is C311.

  • Light area and missile launcher of the pylons are C311+C305=7:3

  • Metal area is applied with Mr.Color Super Metalic series.

  • Lighter area is SM04 Super Titanium while darker is SM03 Super Iron.

And finally after washing, semi-flat coating was applied.

October 1st is the 60th anniversary of our mother land.

And I hope you will enjoy this special scheme.
