[QUOTE="chuck4, post: 160645, member: 6502"] Damn, a good su-27M mod of the new 1/72 trumpeter kit would seem to be no trivial task. I assume the canopy and canopy rails stayed the same? Just how much of the forward fuselage was recontoured? Did they set up all new tools and jigs for the whole forward fuselage, or did they keep most of the original shape, but blend in a new deeper lower fuselage and the smooth the front end cross section into a circle to meet the Radom? In the photos, it appears they kept the upper part of forward fuselage around the canopy the same, made the part below the LEX deeper, and added a section between windscreen and Radom to blend the forward fuselage back to a circular section at the point of the Radom. Is this correct? [/QUOTE]
