I purchased a Suhkoi kit at an estate auction . The box was taped up so I had no way to check it out before purchasing. When I opened it up , I found several parts missing along with the plans. I can build the parts but need the plans to find out what is missing and how to peice it together..Help get this nice plane in the air.

The brand name of the kit would help along with a discription of the size.

SUKHOI SU 26
wing span 58.5 - 60?
fuselage 48.5
engine maybe 40 -60

Does it say AKM anywhere? AK Models sold a small Sukhoi kit like that. They're still around, but that kit doesn't show on their website any more.

Good luck,

Status: offline 		I dont have any more info on this.. I was thinking maybe a goldberg or possibly sig.. Possibly mid '80s.. I am thinking if I can find the plans for any sukhoi I may be able to figure out what is missing ,  if I have to I might could possibly scrap enough together to build .

People are plenty willing to help out, but you need to give us a little more information. You have the box, take a picture of it and post it in this thread. Manufacturers usually used unique color schemes, so even if the name is not legible, someone should be able to identify it. Is there a slogan ont he box or a portion of an address? Take some of the major die cut parts out and take a picture of those as well. Again, unique patterns in the die-cutting might trigger memories...

Geez, I didnt know it was this complicated.. I never knew finding some one willing to share a plan would be so hard.

Perhaps if you were to remove what parts that box contains, lay them out in some semblance of order, (ribs, spars together/longerons, cowling, canopy, etc together), someone might well recognize your kit and be able to provide what you need.

I've found the most friendly, courteous modelers visit this site and your frustrations may well be assuaged!

Best of luck in your quest

I know this is an old response, but it is pretty funny. Here's a translation "Geez, I wish someone on this stupid forum would get off their lazy ass, dig through their pile of kits, pull out the plans, drive them to staples, pay for copies, pack them in a tube, take them to the post office, and pay to have them shipped to me. What? You want me to post a couple pictures? Gosh, that's a lot of work!"
