Su-27 Mexican Navy

As a continuation of the previous entry, an example of the application of Mexican triangles to an airplane that has never served in the country, V.Gr. a Sukhoi 27 of the Mexican Navy, all the insignia and codes have been made by hand, using the techniques already described.


In fact, if there was the possibility that the Su-27 served in the Navy, for a long time it has been sought to create a naval combat weapon, essential for the maritime control of our territorial seas, to give support and coverage to surface ships and for the punctual defense of oil wells, refineries and ports in the Gulf of Mexico, according to some sources, the Navy negotiated the purchase of several Su-27s, even sending pilots to train Russia or Ukraine, but the deal was canceled by the present administration, the planes were sold to Venezuela or Malasya.

In any case, paint the model following the paint guidelines of the Mexican Navy, two-tone camouflage Light Seagull Gray and Dark Seagull Gray, the triangles decided not to paint them in low visibility, preferred to have them very visible and showy, that stand out intensely, It belongs to my collection of fantastic planes of the FAM, Armada de Mexico, if you want to see a Me-109E, a Corsair F4U1 or an F-14 with Mexican insignia, see my site dedicated to this fantastic collection.
