I made this conversion a few months ago and have been having a blast with the plane ever since. I thought it would be a good idea to put together a short build blog showing the process and steps I went through to create my SU-37. The STL files for this conversion are available on my Thingiverse page (link below). I suggest you read through this entire build log before beginning the conversion process.

When I began my conversion, I looked online to see if this had been done already. I saw that dusmmdb34 did a conversion on his SU-35 a few years back. His thread is linked below. His conversion used spare pieces of foam and spackle to create static canards. I knew from experience on a small pusher
