RIAT Poster & Ukrainian Su-27
Ken Duffey
??
It is the usual style painting by Hardy with numerous a/c 'exploding'
from the picture.
This year it has a Hurricane & 2 Spits, plus a C-130J, V-22 Osprey &
C-17 as the main centrepiece.
In the backgound, climbing away are the Patrouille de France and Red
Arrows, plus a Eurofighter, Su-27 & Sea Harrier.
What caught my eye (naturally !) is the Flanker ! It is in Ukrainian
colours (Blue/Yellow) but in a new scheme of blue & yellow flashes. It
is definitely NOT the one that has appeared over the past few years.
Does anyone know if this is genuine ?? These poster are usually fairly
accurate, so I am intrigued about whether the colour scheme is real or
not - I hope it is !
Although - last years RIAT poster had a great Hungarian MiG-29 colour
scheme - that has never appeared ?
Anyone ?

No - I don't think so. I have pics of the Hungarian MiG-29 'Anniversary'
scheme with a blue fuselage and white stars - it wasn't that scheme.
IIRC, the poster MiG-29 had red/white/green stripes - a bit like the new
poster showing the Su-27 in blue/yellow Ukrainain stripes.
Ho hum - it looks like I don't have an excuse to make another Flabnker
model after all !
