Hi all heres the Zvezda kit of the Sukhoi SU 47 Berkut as has just entered operational service in the 'shark'camo. Well not really -there was only ever one prototype built to test the viability of forward swept wings and that one was black all over , this is just my What if? of what it might have looked like had it been developed into a strike fighter/bomber and given the shark camo seen on some of the newest T50 development aircraft. This kit was very kindly given to me by my good mate Dave (Gern) and its one of Zvezdas earliest efforts. As such its very basic but perfect for a bit of Whiffery! I altered the engines to depict thrust vectoring nozzles and deleted the long nose probe but apart from that its OOB as far as the build goes , the decals all coming from my spares box -mainly the excellent Begemot modern vvs sheets. heres the pics including one of what looks like the Russians latest helmet mounted sighting system on the kit pilot!!DSCN2555 [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2556 [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2557 [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2559 [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2564 [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2565 [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2566 [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2567 [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2568(1) [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2553 [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2554 [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2546 [Desktop Resolution].JPG DSCN2547 [Desktop Resolution].JPG

Nice build. But that pilot, I think you could be mistaken. I think it's a top secret listening device.

Great work Tony. Who's to know if it's in service or not? ;) And yes, that pilot's helmet configuration is ... different.
