Suchoi Su-27 Flanker 1/144
Painted retrowing cokpit I've modified to fit revell kit
cockpit fitted in fuselage
Compare of kit engine intake to the modified and thinned part.
Shape is still not accurate but looks better thinned out to that plastic blob from kit.

Album info
This revell kit is not very accurate representation of actual aircraft and some things are missing (kockpit, engines are seethrough) so i decided for some modifications.
As cockpit I used retrowing set for trumpeter
Engines I have scratch built intake fans and flameholders for afterburners in back from styren sheet.
Also I have added details from shelf oddity set.
