STAY AWAY from the SKIF kit. You don't want to mess with it at all. Just turn around and walk away.

Thanks guys for the information. I'm definatitely going to avoid it. On ebay I think it was around $50 and thats a fair amount of money to waste.

I will start a build blog when I get my etch for the Navy T-55A and to get used to posting images I have been platying around with one of my almost finished projects on the constructive comments board.

Cheers and thanks for all your help.

50 $ for a Skif kit it isn't just a waste of money, is a robbery !!

Yes Jon, that's true.... but on the tanks the flag is not "flat"...It's depicted while is waving


Hi Mauro, yes thats true but flags used in aviation subjects are also often waving style as well

Hi guys,
Good debate. Have you also noticed that the front
Flag has a flagpole whilst it appears(I could be
Wrong) that the side flags do not.
Cheers

I can't see the flag pole in this pic




Here there is the flag pole and flag appears with a different shape (more distorted)

Well, in my opinion unfortunately It depends on the exemplar

It would be useful having some other pics

cheers

Hi Mauro,

This sheet is from Naval Aviation SU-25K Frogfoot aircraft. These markings can still be seen on Russian Federation Aircraft and feature on some SU-33 (SU-27K Naval Flankers). However they are now more commonly replaced with the blue cross banner.

You may also be able to find this in a 1/32 scale decal sheet for Frogfoot's which might make things easier for 1/35 AFV.
