Here are some pictures of my Suchoi Su-37, the Prototype (white 711). At least this was the one and only variety of this Flanker-stage.

I built this plane to complete my Suchoi-collection. The kit itself is a copy of the Academy-kit with some modifications: the candards, the vertical-vectorial adjustable exhaust pipes and the frontgear with two wheels.

  The kit is not in good shape, there was a lot to do, to assemble it. The cockpit was awfull, so I took the cockpit of my old Su-27 instead of the one in the kit. The ejection seat is a resin K-36 of Pavla. The frontgear was also to improve.

  At least it looks quite okay. My next project is to rebuild a Su-33 kit into a Su-34!!!! It will take some months to finish this pretentious project......you will see it first.
