        Steve Bamford will insert full sized version of photo 01.jpg here 

  Long time ago i found an old OZE kit of the Su-7BKL, and so i build my first Su-7, it was the revell releas of this kit, so it became the indian THUNDERBIRDS painting (black fuselage and a yellow nose).

  Later i found this kit at ebay germany, and i bougth it three times.

  The first kit became the original Su-7BKL in a mattalic finish.

  The secound kit became the Su-9 A. I made two pairs of deltawings: one for the Su-9, and the secound for the Su-11. I also modified the vertical fin, the gear, the additional airintake and the cokpit has to be moved 5 mm backwards. The arms were taken from a HOBBYCRAFT MiG-17 PFU.

  The third kit became the Su-11 A. Here it was quite difficult to modified the original kit Â in a way, that looks like the Su-11. TheÂ hole nose including the cokpitÂ was made by myself. The vertical fin and the gear were also modified. The arms were taken by the TRUMPETER Su-15 TM.

  There are no 1/48 kits of the Su-9 and Su-11, so it was the only way for me to complete my collection of sovjet jet - build by myself, and i think it looks quite okay.Â My next projekts areÂ a Mil Mi-24 A (Revell Hind D), a Su-34 (Minihobby Su-30) and a Ye-8 (Academy MiG-21MF). See you soon.
