Yes, Joseph!! All from Altaya/IXO series, 1/72 scale.

Are they from the same scale (1:72)?

It seems so, at least on this Altaya/IXO model (Visible on the 1st photo of the series, showing partly under surfaces). As I'm not a real specialist of last Soviet prototypes such as this Su35, I can't really be affirmative! It's yours to tell me!

Does the Su-35 model have R-77 missiles ???

This Su35 "Super Flanker" was a prototype issued just before USSR falling. The new SU 35 will not have the so called "Duck wings" configuration. Anyway, right observations and superb photos! Thanks, Ahmed!

The Su-27 and MiG-29 were designed by the Soviets to counter America's latest 4th generation fighters, the F-15 and F-16. The Su-27 was designed to play the same role as the F-15. The MiG-29 was to be similar to the F-16. When comparing the sizes of both F-15 and F-16, we will see that the difference in size is similar to that of the Sukhoi and the MiG.

I liked this photo so much I said to myself there must be a shot of the real planes next to each other somewhere. I did not find a Su-35 next to a MiG-29, but I found many Su-27s next to MiG-29.

And this one is from http://www.159thgar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5998

I have a model of both the Su-27 and MiG-29 next to each in my collection. I will be posting their photos soon.
