DougN Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) If you are not familar with English Russia, it is a site that posts lots of different photos from around Russia (military equipment, villages, girls, cars, weird stuff, etc.) and is good for some surfing entertainment (warning: surf the other parts of the site at your own risk!). Here are a couple of links with some good detail shots of some ruskie jets and might help interior color questions for any jet: http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2011/04/16/secret-airbase-in-khotilovo/#more-46616n http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2011/04/16/secret-airbase-in-khotilovo/2/ I did not know that the nose cone of the Su27 flipped up with that angled panel line break. Also of interest is the clamp thing used to keep it open, as well as the different colored paint area behind the sloppy red painted number on the nose (all from the 12th photo down) Some more: http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2011/04/20/mig-31-boneyard/#more-47473 http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2011/04/14/the-cemetery-of-jet-fighters/#more-46534 http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2011/04/12/tricks-of-shipborne-aviation/#more-45879 Cheers, Doug Edited April 22, 2011 by DougN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zactoman Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've started a list of walkarounds and references: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=229830 As mentioned in the first post of the thread, I started with a list of Su-27 links and will be adding more aircraft when I have the time.

MarkS Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Wow, the blues on some of those Su-27s just glow. Really intense colors. Are they really that intense or is it an artifact of the film/camera and lighting? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Cool stuff........very nice pics with a story behind them. The Mig-31 would make an imposing 32nd scale model! Cheers, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
