Here's some photos of my 1/72 Zvezda
Su-47 Berkut (Golden Eagle). For some odd reason my camera made the plane
look a bit reddish, but I swear I used Humbrol black matt:33 :-D
This plane is the Russian answer to
the F-22, Stealth, swept wing and many more new things. Sadly, due to
economic reasons, Russia didn't built any Su-47s after this first one. It seems
really cool when You see pics on the Internet..

The kit comes in 2 black sprues and
1 transparent, when you open the box you feel like you ordered the largest
portion pizza in the restaurant, it is really big for a 1/72 scale plane.
As big as F-111.
I used putty on several places, but
I accept it when I already bought a Zvezda kit. Zvezda is not a tamigawa,
but the best choice when you decide to build 1/72 scale Russian modern
fighters.
I wish happy modelling to all
modellers and would also like to thank Steve for remembering our Republic Day.
Best wishes from Turkey
Zafer
