az12121 0 Posted April 3, 2009 I will repost question too: I've heard that a glass parts of canopy in new one seaters of MiG-29M's and K's will be that same as in two seater MiG-29M2, KUB and 35.Is it true ? Maybe someone know the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyCap 0 Posted April 3, 2009 lindr2 don't take this the wrong way, but gawd there's something butt ugly about Russian planes. Except for the MiG-29 and Su-27, in fact the curves on the Su-27 makes it the most sexy of all fighters. Of course this is just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder im sure - and as proven looks normally comes with performance - that looks like standard issue ground attack uglyness to me - and every air force is stuck with it! Pretty sure jets are not designed with looks in mind - no point having a good looking plane that cant do its job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+russouk2004 6,958 Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) I must admit I like the Russian...."Scratch built" look of their a\c... they always look like??? ...but you cant just put your finger on it....its as if they are all prototypes.even tho they are the finished article....the aircraft all seem to me to look 10 years behind everyone else in their construction methods...not the actual a\c...I do like the blue white red stars too...they are cool.. all in all I do like Russkie a\c..a lot Edited April 3, 2009 by russouk2004 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+suhsjake 11 Posted April 3, 2009 I must agree, the Su-34 is very ugly for a Su. I like the Yak-130, Ka-52, and Mil-28. Wonder if someone will make a Yak-130 for WOx/SF2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure jets are not designed with looks in mind - no point having a good looking plane that cant do its job! Yes, of course. Reminds me of how the English Spitfire pilots would make fun of the P-47 Jug when it first arrived on the scene. And we all know how well the 'Jug' later performed in combat. I still say most Russian a/c look like lawn mowers with wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe someone know the answer. Partially yes, partially - no... ...Миг-35 Can be manufactured in several versions: single-seat/two-seat, controled thrust vector or not, with canards or not.

az12121 0 Posted April 3, 2009 do you have a photo or an artwork conception? He maybe can't show us that... That same in new MiG-29M's ??? Will it be same as previous M or K,or there will be any external differences (on one seaters)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MiG-35 & 35-D has WIP status... too early for talking about final design. KUB, K (9-41), UBT in serial production NOW, K has folded wings with extended span... P.S. Very inter. is these A-A missiles Something like Kh-32 (AGM) story: nobody seen Kh-32, but Kh-32M in testing NOW. Edited April 3, 2009 by lindr2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Gepard 11,323 Posted April 4, 2009 Hey Lindr, is this a new russian insignia at the Hokum or only marketing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+krizis 6 Posted April 4, 2009 Yes, it is a new insignia. Not marketing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted April 6, 2009 Those missiles are far too long to be R-73s, just look at the shot above it. Anyway, the Su-34 looks like the winner of the "can you make a Flanker look ugly?" contest. Interesting that it has an external fuel tank, I didn't think they'd ever need one with as much internal fuel as they can hold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+krizis 6 Posted April 6, 2009 Nobody noticed three black strips... These strips always indicate that the missile is just a training dummie (based on R-73 in this case) which retains original geometry only partly. Dont use such "references" for modelling.

JediMaster 451 Posted May 1, 2009 The A-10 has a reverse beauty...it's sheer ugliness is what makes it beautiful. If you will, its beauty comes in its disdain for aesthetics and its pure dedication to its mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
