The Russian decal company of Begemot have just released two sheets of stencil data for the Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker family in two scales - Sheet No 72-030, 48-009.

     The sheets include FULL stencil data for the Su-27 single-seater, the Su-27UB combat trainer and the Su-33 shipborne naval fighter. In addition, stencils are included for most of the weapons carried by these aircraft - the air-to-air missiles such as the R-27T/R/ET/& ER, the R-73 and R-77, the various ground-attack ordnance - Kh-29, Kh-58, Kh-31, numerous 'dumb' bombs plus the laser-guided KAB series.
