Nice the way the bone domes are highlighted - gives scale to the beast.
It's a heavyweight in more ways than one, and the screens do it justice.
And an F-15 would prefer not to tangle with it, I heard that from the horse's mouth.

I heard similar but simply depend's on the driver, you can display an aircraft and say what best, but many times specific to today they are all very equal, the tricks they can do ... I think logic should approach this simply because the tech has really not been tested.

I'm glad you like it Split. He does nice work. The J11 I have has a reasonably rubbish skin to it (panel lines too heavy) but otherwise very nice. I prefer his J10 to the J11 though.

Thanks guys , its a mean machine indeed .... and Ian , is not an F-15 upgrade , as Charl said "an F-15 would prefer not to tangle with it " .
I have a book here somewhere by a former top gun instructor , and he mentions that if you want to kill yourself .... get into a turning fight with a Flanker.

J7G .... Im looking at your other recommendations , cheers .

In Crimea, they have no fuel ... cool.gif

Actually, my F-15 guy was talking about the SU-27
But Ian I suspect you may be right about the Sukhoi Design Bureau being fed information hot off the McD drawing boards.

Why am I so reminded of Grade School playground arguments, stoutly defended, about WHOSE Sabre was FASTEST! laugh.gif
