Progress on my Hobbyboss 1/48 Su-27, for my SU Sig over on the forum.
Using the kit cockpit but a resin Aires Seat and pilot, I'm rubbish at painting figures and the cockpit isn't my best work but it'll do (i enjoy painting the exterior much more.
Painted using akan Grey Blue Su 27 faded interior colour.
Top and bottom fuselage parts all glued in place now, it'll need some filling here and there but nothing major.











Primed in Ultimate black primer. Ready for base colours


Got the camo scheme down on the flanker. Using Akan paints and my custom micron i freehanded the scheme. Made a start to the Paint weathering by fading some panels. It's just a start will look alot better when finished.

Absolutely beautiful paint work on that, great colours and really well faded. Very Jealous

[SergioSolo]

Wow, impressive work!

[AridTalons]

Nice job so far! Su-27 is my favorite jet.

Finally got to get some more paint done on the Su today. Faded and mottled the paintwork and got the radome green down where needed. Lots of time in the spray booth today running the Ultimate apex airbrush through its paces, which it did flawlessly on the camo

[NorthernModeller]

that looks bloody awsome, the green looks a really nice contrast, mottling is superb as usual, wish I had the same dedication and skill as you

[HIghAltitudeScale]

Wow Paul that's a great build can't wait to see your finished kit.

[GollyPo]

Totally agree with Ivan re. the green accents. Spot on. Great advert for the airbrush too, there can't be much wrong with an airbrush that can produce results like that. Now, where's me popcorn, I'm going to make myself comfortable.

[Paul]

Wasn't happy with the green nose so resprayed it white

Su -27 glossed with Tamiya X22 and main markings down. Just the stencils to go and theres only a few.....hundred, good job I enjoy decaling

[NorthernModeller]

The decals really start to bring it to life great job

[GollyPo]

My wordly-wordington, but that is a lot of very small decals. What do you use for magnification, if anything, Paul? My eyes have gone squiffy just thinking about it. It is going to look the pooch's peanuts when it's done though.
