Su-58 Variable Fighter

[Stonecold]

Nice, but aboyt the name of Russia aircraft... fighters (Mig-29, Su-27) and some attack fighters (Su-25) have odd numbers, while bombers (Su-22, Tu-16, Tu-22 and others) and another attack aircrafts (Il-2, Il-10) have even numbers. But the design is perfect

Point taken. Somehow, I mislook that designation tradition. Will rename it Su-57
Design of the plane mode is from anime "Sentou Yoisei Yukikaze". Only transformation cycle is my work. Anyway, thanx.

yah i'm not sure if I like that nose elevation view either. Love dorsal though and great shadeing job.

The whole cockpit can be raised, so the pilot's head would be ebough that elevation, for observation purpose, or lowered (as shown) for high speed cruise mode.
On mass produced models, cockpit capsule will be completely nontransparent armored module, and pilot will use VR environment cockpit.

Well, when I finish the whole thing, should ask someone to build 3D model, since I am no good at this

Su-30MK, Yak-28? It's not a hard and fast rule, there are some even numbered fighters, not to mention odd-numbered attack planes and bombers like the Su-17, MiG-27, etc.

Pretty interesting design too, very Yukikaze-like.

The Soviet/Russian aircraft designation system started under Stalin, but they haven't been held to it since the Soviet Union collapsed. Some of the design bureaus still follow it, but some don't.

You know, I never really built much Fighters Before, and I love to try to build this one.
Would you mine if i try to create a 3D model of this big guy?

[Stonecold]

Sure I would not The plane should (theoreticfly ) transform to a mecha mode, but I never have the time to finish the drawing. Hopefully will complete it soon.

Side view I don't get, it doesn't seem to correspond with the top view. The top view is amazing though.

[Stonecold]

Guess, in this case, I have to do a front view. Just quick correction from original yukikaze.

Well, Yak-28 is a bomber (Yakovlev Yak-28 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), Su-30 MK (Sukhoi Su-30 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) is air superiority fighter but also attack aircraft

I forgot there was a bomber version of the Yak, I was thinking of the dedicated interceptor. My point stands with the Tupolev Tu-28 though, it was built purely as an intercepter.
