I bought this kit on Friday and finished it on
Thursday. With all the modifications I made, it took about 40 hours in six day to assemble this
wonderful kit.

The original cockpit
contains only three decals, so I add some details in 3D. I also cut the
flaps, tailerons and those mysterious movable ramps above the air intakes.
The weaponbays were also made by myself.
It was great fun to do this
kit. Next I will add this plane to a diorama with the Su-47, MiG
1.44 MFI
and the Yak-141. Those three planes are the technical base for this first
Russian fifth Generation fighter, which grows in cooperation between Russia
(Suchoi, MAPO and Yakovlev) and India (HAL). The first serial figther
should fly in the year 2015 and it will cost only a third of the American
F-22.
Thank you ZVEZDA for
the fast releasing of this kit in 1/72............. But what about a 1/48
one?...maybe TRUMPETER or HOBBY BOSS will do that.
