Hello all,

I'm currently building Trumpeters' 1/32 SU-27 B, late version. The kit comes with two 3-pole IFF antennas. One goes on the tail, and one goes at the underside of the nose, right along the center line of the fuselage.

When checking reference photo's of the real aircraft, I see them with multiple IFF antennas at the front, 2-pole and 3-pole. Did Trumpeter make a mistake here? Or are there some Flankers that only have one IFF antenna at the front? I have the nosecone from Zactomodels, and that one shows mounting plates for muliple antennas...

Regards,

Matthijs
