Su-27 flanker 1/72

[Drunkmaster]

Hi colleagues.

For a long time on my mind was the idea of gluing something without a propeller. I hesitated between the F-14 and su-27. Both of these aircraft are in my opinion very nice and attract for the eye of an amazing silhouette. In choosing help me again zvezda company when launching the model of Flanker. I suspect that this is the first topic in a forum with this model

Model makes a great impression, much the exact elements. Decals look good - which in my opinion is rare in Zvezda models

Despite this, not all decals will be used. I do not foresee proposals painting from the instructions. Painting that'll do that Ukrainian version of this aircraft.



In the box I found a very pleasant part of the assembly



The whole I will make up additives with photoetched parts, decals will be made to order





The whole state on the stand, as usual, my execution. As in the model of Hind is printed airport plate.
In sequence:

-The old frame a photo.
-A piece of thick cover of a notebook
-Print airport plate on paper

The whole elements bonded with adhesive to the paper. After drying, the gap between the panels carved with a toothpick.





Cheers

I'm certainly going to follow this, I've never seen a Zvesda kit being built and I need to look into something prop-less that istn in 1/144th scale XD. Good luck mate!

After following your Hind-thread, i'm very excited about this one! The 'Flanker' is one of my favorite aircrafts and I recently got my 1/72 Hasegawa 'Flanker' aswell. Looking forward to your version of the 'Flanker'!


EDIT: If the decals proves to be un-usable, you could always go for these:

Thanks guys

Ludvig I know the set of decals, but it is not in the numbers of aircraft that I want to do. This is not a problem, decals already have, my friend designed it in corel program and gives to the printing

Meanwhile, back to the model...

Pilot's seat





and cockpit



This model builds very quickly, mainly because the body is composed of a small number of parts. So far, everything fits well





In the breaks in sticking, I made a few minor additions to the stand. The ladder is supplied with the plane. With pieces of plastic I made tow bar:

Superb build. Love the flankers too

Looks cracking mate! I don't think Sukhoi could make a visually unappealing fighter

As long as the Sukhoi is in my hands it's not so sure

OK it is time to paint



Black preshading and specks of brown stains. On top of the base color, and lighten with the off white gunze color.

Ooh! I love the blue camo Flankers, they just look gorgeous!

[Drunkmaster]

Thanks for visiting

Top painted, I used masking tape ... The whole ton of tape
Decals received from a printing.

[SyntaxModels]

That looks amazing! I love the flankers in blue camo! It's a great model mate!

[Drunkmaster]

Hi guys.
Another part of this telenovela

Decals and wash - very important thing - the dividing lines are very shallow. By this wash is put very badly. Best thing to do pin wash and leave it for at least a day.
When the mix is dry, you can gently wipe it.



Armament



and the whole is almost ready
