(Mea Culpa... We had originally planned to also include Red 02/RF-92251 Su-34 on the sheet, and you will find some decal elements for this option on the sheet. Unfortunately two different 'Red 02' Su-34s took part in the centenary show. We photographed both, but were unable to distinguish the two different airframes until after the decals were printed. Consequently 'Red 02' on the sheet contains elements of both aircraft and ,as such, is not accurate. Consequently it is not listed as an option in the instructions. )
