The camoflage was inspired by one of the prototypes (the white 46).  I did the painting freehand.

The weapons are two ECM-pods (1&12), two air-to-air missiles R-60(2&11), twelve 500 kg (3,4,5,8,9&10) and two 1.000 kg (6&7) bombs. The ECM-pods I did by myself, also the 1.000 kg bombs, the 500 kg bombs I took from 5 OZE Su-7 and one Su-25 kits, so were the R-60.

The front and maingear I did by myself, including the gearbay doors.  The two additional main gear wheels, I took from the Su-37 kit, which I built some moths ago.

The cockpit I also did by myself, only the K-36 seat and the sticks were taken from another kits.  The cockpit ladder I did with 0,3mm plastic sheet.
