Silenoz

Reminds me to a similar project I've seen elsewhere a while back, is that possible? Nevertheless it's a beautiful project

looking good in the end, missing a light wash though around the details to make them pop out...

looks good though... I would be glad with such a result...

nice "start" ;-) love to see this one finished... didn't know about the red used as a primer...

interesting and unexpected subject, that wing makes me think of the Academy one... had three of their Su-27's with a wing just like that... Got them replaced, and these had the same problem... couldn't be due to packaging.. Still don't know what to do with these either...

Looking very good... there's no real trouble in decalling and then masking to spray further, but let the decals set well (maybe a test on a spare piece), seal it in, let it dry thoroughly and prepare the tape so that it looses a bit of it's stickyness... Must admit, I also got cold feet for my JGSDF F-15 (albeit a whole lot smaller), but it worked fine in the end...

Thx, Scratched the extra trim and the vortexgenerators: Normally these are other types in V-shape, but... these are already 0,5*0.8mm Then an extra exhaust and some antennas. Finally I added the wings top, pretty big model in the end:

stumbled across this one: artwork is from 1994, so well before...

thx, hopefully the last details like the trim, wiring for the rudder, antenna's, some attempt to make birdslicers on the front wings and some extra cowlings that I found... Still a lot to do, but hey, christmas holidays are coming, so hopefully I can finish this one...

landing gear replaced by a scratched one, the one from the kit was completely fictitious. Only thing I reused were the wheels: Soon the last details and off to paint...

looks good, busy with a likewise project

thx, for the info, found some reference books, and these are on their way... so hopefully some prgress soon. @Slartibartfast: thx for the reference

Thank you for the movie, seems you needed some real nerve to fly this thing... Looks very flimsy Some progress: Original nose section: And then I've found this PIC: Some sanding: Recreating the details: The front and rear exhausts have been changed:

very nice work... metal parts are looking very good, as is the whole plane actually...

that put's things into perspective... nice work so far, and eagerly looking forward to the next project

looks strange, but then I tend to mix some clear in my paintcup... and so I only have to seal after decals

looks really nice... well done...

looks good, very good. Thx for taking the time to explain the process. Did you use white for the inside of the outer burner cans and did you leave the deeper part black? Or did you also paint these in basecolor aluminium?

paint it red first, then apply the other colors?

It was a pleasure to see this ugly piece of wood grow into this beauty... Very nice result and a splendid scratchbuild project...

Thx, JohnS

Hull is completely glued:I used some electric wire to keep everything at its place while drying... nice, no, but it did the job: Looks good, after measuring everything was parallelFurther a lot of sanding:Main wing assembled and sanded:exhausts in the kit are placed at the bottom of the hull, in reality they are at the sides for the front engine, and on top for the rear engine:closed the holes with sprue, and filed the seams between the wings and the hull and booms..: Rear is also different:(the bulges at the end are the exhaust manifolds, still need to make these)I had to remove t

luckily ;-) splendid job

Maybe temperature, or surfaces are not clean. I tend to flatten my solder with a plier and then cut off some small amounts that I need.
