| At one time the most numerous aircraft type
in service on the globe, the Flogger will
probably remain important until the centuries turn. |
 |
| My Flogger carries AA-8 Aphids
and AA-7 APEX (one IR and one SARH). |
 |
| I relied on the kits instructions for
camouflage colors and pattern. |
 |
| The kits cockpit glass is cleverly designed to
snap into open or closed position. |
 |
With wings swept at 72 degrees the fogger can reach
top speed of 1,520mph (Mach 2.31). |
 |
| A great look at the massive Tumanski R-29-300 afterburning turbofan engine. |
 |
| In case anyone noticed in the photos... I had lost
the ventral fin somewhere down the line. Right after I
posted these photos, Shawn Lynch (Dallas, Texas)
contacted me and donated the missing piece from his
collection. Thanks Man! |
 |
| Hasegawa did a pretty good job on the
complicated-looking yet simple landing gear. |
 |
| My hand gives away the compact size of the Flogger. |
 |
| The cockpit needed lots of work (this is an old kit)
I threw away the "Lazyboy Lounger" right away and
dropped in an awesome resin KM1 from True Details.
I added a homemade hud and lots of scratch "gadgets". |
 |
Kit: Hasegawa #01711 |
Scale: 1/72 |
| Decals: Box Stock. Good quality crisp stuff.
Now that mine is all finished, I've seen some awesome
aftermarket sets with much better data markings. |
| After
Market Parts: True Details KM1 Ejection Seat Stock #45002,
DML Modern Soviet Aircraft Weapons Kit #2504 |
| Cost/Value: Definately a great kit for under 20 bucks. |
| Comments: I built this kit many years ago so I'm
writing these comments based on memory. This kit fits together well.
Crisp raised panel lines. The interior is sparse.
Decals are good but with no data or stenciling. |
