Yeah, jets don't get a whole lot prettier than the MiG-29 and Su-31. My wife is from Peru and I keep hoping one day to be down there when they are flying their MiG-29s in an airshow. I'd love to see them flying live and in person.
I have a model of a Mig-29 that is probably 20 years old now, painted with tan, green and brown camo. I was fixing its front landing gear a couple nights ago, and man, she's as pretty now as the day I put her together. Ah, memories... I also have a desk model of a Peruvian MiG-29 (grey camo scheme) that my father-in-law gave me as a birthday present a few years back. Absolutely lovely in both schemes. |

I had a testors model of a SR-71 that had the drone attachment. It looked like a flying engine in the SR-71 style.

I remember way back in the 90's that my favorite military Micro Machine was a two-tone gray MiG-29, but some of their brown and blue patterns are gorgeous too.
Unfortunately we'll likely never get one of those bad moFos in 1:18. |

Isn't there a PTE (or similar) Sukoi out in Europe? I thought I saw something on that a while back on here...

I'll have to ask the neighbor, he'd know for sure.
He's been 2-3 times and i've heard the stories about just how capable the insurgents are at torching are big, expensive tanks. I'll never get why people like the looks of the Raptor. Then again, if it isn't current Russian i don't care for jet designs in general. You'll never kill it from the ground unless you have a mine or "IED." The best you can hope for is halting it by destroying a tread or two, but that will only slow it down for an hour or so.

There's a Sukoi, but it's still small for my tastes.
I'm fairly intolerant of "Joe scale" anymore. |

You hit it from the top down. That kills an American tank instantly, unfortunately everyone inside too. You hit the magazine or the engine. Part of why urban warfare is dangerous.
