Sukhoi Su-7 BKL Fitter walkaround (Aviation Museum of Riga)

I started my model of the Sukhoi 7 (Eduard 1/48) a few weeks before visiting the museum and I really felt strange when i got to see the real bird for the first time, like "Did I shrink ?". This bird is so ugly that I love it. Here is the non-export version of the Su-7. Enjoy !

Supplementary fuel tanks.
Su-7 ladder. I have been looking for this pic to finish my model :-)
Note that the ladder is supposed to be on portboard

Mil Mi-6 Hook cockpit (Aviation museum of Riga, Latvia)

This huge baby welcomes you when you get inside the aviation museum of Riga. Before being replaced by the Mil Mi-26 Halo, the Mi-6 was the biggest helicopter in the world.  This aircraft was repainted by the museum. Needless to say that when the guy of the museum asked me if I wanted to get inside this monster I was about to poop in my pants :-) Portboard landing gear I was lucky enough to get inside the monster and discover a museum full of soviet-era stuff Some access door on the ceiling Seat inside the nose of the monster Inside the nose (portboard) Starboard side of the nose +  my hairy arm as a bonus Above pilot's head
