Well, I did look into one box labeled Sukhoi. What did I find to spare? Two bagged kits.
Zhendengfu Su-30MK (paid $10USD)
Mini Hobby Model Su-27 (paid $10USD)
The kits are poor copies of the Academy Su-27. By this I mean sharp edges are rounded, no photo-etched details (such as the screens) and worse fit than the original. They are complete minus the Sorbitsya pods. $10 for both bagged kits and I will include leftover aftermarket decals (why must I buy a complete sheet for only one or two shark mouth schemes?). I also saw some leftover blue Academy parts which were probably replaced with resin or scratch. This includes the wheels, cockpit,
Some people can make a nice kit out of it, but I don't want to put that kind of effort with the stash I have...

A look at the Zhendefu/Kitech/Trumpeter kit:

Anyway... there is another box labeled MiG to look at. After that, a box listed as 1/48th.
