A line of fighter aircraft.

KENSUKE (OFF):“Awesome! Awesome!”

UrsusArctos: Awesome is right. Those are Russian Su-33 naval fighters, navalized versions of the mighty Su-27. Only 36 were built, if I remember right, and they're being replaced now due to age. There are a couple of goofs in the mouth-wateringly beautiful detailing, though - first off, the wings and tailplanes should be folded up on deck because those Sukhois are huge. Also, there is no US-style catapult attachment on the nose gear, which is essential if they have to be operated from an American carrier. The tractor that's towing the Sukhoi could be either a US A/S32A-31A or the older MD-3 model, likely the latter - again, superbly reproduced!
