Difference Trumpeter Su-30MKK Flanker G vs Trumpeter Su-27UB Flanker C

[Out2gtcha]

Yes, all are correct.

- Internal cockpit differences, but no differing cockpit kits are available.

- Different shaped vertical tails with the SU-30 having the taller flat tailed tops, and the SU-27 has the slanted top tails

- IRST ball goes from more center on the SU-30 MKK, to offset on the SU-27 UB

- SU-30 MKK has a dual nose wheel and some different shapes to the nose gear well, while the SU-27UB has a standard nose well and a single nose wheel.

 

Beyond that, I dont think there are many other differences, but a Flanker SME make correct me.

Did they come off ok?  I saw a post where it said the adhesive was so strong that it pulled the paint off including the primer.  Did you get them on Ebay or somewhere else?

 

 

Thanks,

My quick input on this since I've been researching it a little (but am by no means an expert so stand to correction):

 

The tandem Flanker two-seaters can be generally categorized like this in Russian service:

 

Su-27UB: Tandem seater that is about the same as the baseline S-27 except for the tandem cockpit. Available as the namesake Trumpeter kit.

 

Su-30M2: Tandom seater with two wheels at the front and enlarged wheel well, tall tail. Seems to be used as a "combat trainer" in Russia and I have only ever seen the (Russian) Su-30M2 loaded with A/A ordnance. Seems to be the same jet as the Su-30MKK flown by China, Uganda, Venezuela, Indonesia. Available as the Trumpeter Su-30MKK Flanker G kit.

 

Su-30SM: Tandem seater but with two wheels at the front and enlarged wheel well, canards, but regular tail. Additional pylon on wing. These have seen a lot of action in Russian service and there are loads of pics on the internet showing these with A/G ordnance. No 1/32 kit available... so wish Trumpeter would produce this using new tooling for wings and body up to their present engraving standard.

 

Cheers,

Marcel
