Now that is excellent :thumbsup: And also very good to see all of it at last, after all in-progress photos of small bits of the airframe!

The OKB did not want the Capitalist Westerners to find out too much about their superior aircraft until it had flown  ;D :thumbsup:

Very pretty.  Looks like the little brother of the Mikoyan Project 1.44/1.42

Nice one - looks rather MiG-ish to me, though?  :thumbsup:

I know  :banghead: it was the fin tip that made me go for a Russian aircraft as it is very similar to the MiG 23/27 family. There is also a similarity to the Tu-28 in its fin tip shape.

For me, it's the overall look. Not so much Eurofighterski, the overall shape rather reminds me of the (unmaterialized) light MiG-33 export fighter, a design which resembled a bit the F-16, but with a single fin only. Anyway, I like the Yak!  :cheers:
