China?s first aircraft carrier, the refurbished Varyag acquired from Ukraine in 1998, took to the sea on 10 August this year. Leaving its dock at Dalian, it undertook a maiden four-day sea trial. China has long been working at providing the People?s Liberation Army Navy with an aircraft carrier, a military asset that befits a global power. China has simultaneously been developing a fighter to operate from its future fleet of carriers, and the type selected is known as the J-15 from the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) and 601 Institute. The J-15 Flying Shark is heavily based on the Russian Sukhoi Su-33 ship-borne fighter, but it features a locally made radar system and weapons. Powered by a pair of AL-31F turbofan engines, the J-15?s maiden flight occurred in August 2009. The Shenyang J-15 performed its first ski-jump takeoff in May 2010, and its development is continuing at a rapid pace, including with indigenous WS-10 engines. Mirroring China?s own design path for the country?s first-generation carrier-borne fighter, Dragon has based its new 1/144 scale plastic kit of the J-15 on the company?s previously released Su-27 and Su-33 kit. However, the J-15 model has received parts like the arresting hook at the rear of the fuselage. The J-15 model is finely detailed in 1/144 scale, and it will quickly assemble into an authentic-looking model. The maiden voyage of China?s first carrier is a significant milestone, and it?s expected a series of advanced J-15s will eventually be embarked onboard for training purposes. Following on from the recent release of the J-20 stealth fighter, modelers can now reinforce their Chinese airpower with the J-15 Flying Shark! Paint colors needed: Flat Black, Steel, Gray, Dark green, Clear Red, Smoke Gray, Olive Drab, and FS17875 White.
