Thanks Medal , i’ve been following every big aviation forum on the net about news regarding PAK-FA , i know PAK-FA was transported( i used shipped as in trasported , not as in taken to LII by ship/boat etc) to Zhukovsky in an An-124 on Apr 8th , i know its suposed to fly again before the end of this month , or next week…

Well maby i’m crazy , but i could swear that on Sukhoi.org website itself they mentioned about taking both 51 and KNS to Zhukovsky …

Regardless , i cant wait to see the bird flying again!:rolleyes:

That model is a resin kit – should be available by end of May, early June….

Your PAK-FA model is really, REALLY beautiful Ken , if i’d be a milionaire i’d hire you do do your magic for me with PAK-FAs , MFIs, LFIs and so on …oh well , one can dream eh ? :p

Another model of the thing, for those of you who are into this kind of thing …:)

Oh and BTW acsording to paralay.com the bird is already assembled …wonder how long its gonna take until it flies again tho ..any more news about that ?:confused:

Thanks.

Umm…i’m not refering to the ones they already have in service for some years now ( rather nicely cammoed , i should add), but the 20 machines they just signed a contract for at the end of 2009 , costing (according to the news) $ 570mil…there’s an article on lenta.ru about ( among other things ) it…:)

My-my, maby i missed something or seems the first flight for AF-2 was missed by you guys …:p

IMO those models dont look bad at all , but i concur to the general opinion , theres one thing to put two nice models on a truck in a parade , and another to build the real thing. Engines , electronics, materials, weapons , they dont come from nowhere, they have to be built from scratch.( given the known political aspects concerning Iran)

Would be interesting to see where this goes. I doubt we will see anything in the next ,say, 10 years tho. (IF there will still be an Iran as we know it now then)

Off topic and baseless.

How many countries has Iran attacked in that last 60 years? How many has Israel? How many nuclear warheads does Iran have? How many does Israel have?

Anyone not blinded by brainwashing or who has any semblance of objective opinion would be able to see the shameless doubt standards and arrogance of the west at play here.

The only true crime Iran has ever committed was to have the audacity to object when the CIA overthrew their democratically elected government and to seek a credible deterrence against Israeli aggression.

Yes double standards and propaganda at its best. Before it was the big scary Russian bear, then when the Cold war ended ,they had to find some new scary-crows, Iraq, Iran, Syria and so on. Gotta love behind doors politics .:mad:

( Sorry for the offtopic, couldnt help it)
