Su-27 Flanker (11)

I also had a lot of fun building the missiles. Russian air-to-air missiles tend to have rather funky shapes. Mu model is armed to the teeth, with two long range radar guided missiles (under the jet intakes) two medium ranged radar guided missiles (between the jet intakes), tow medium ranged IR guided missiles and finally four short range IR guided missiles. This is a standard load for which the jet was designed, but in peacetime it's unlikely that any of these jets would be armed this heavily.
