  1. Zhou Kun started following Minibase 1/48 Sukhoi Su-33 Final Reveal
  2. Zhou Kun
    Hello, this is my most recent build. The Sukhoi Su-33 model was designed and manufactured by Minibase, a Chinese company. The model is mostly out of box, except for a small box of 3D-printed upgrade set(which included extended landing gears and seated pilot). The model is of high difficulty because it contains about 600 parts and more than 400 decal stencils. I took the photos with a Canon EOS 850D and 50-250mm lens on my balcony, on a overcast day. Happy modeling!

    @Night Owl Models One of my friend did edit this photo for me:-）No poles! As for the exhaust thing, I originally planned some slight drawing along the rivets, only to give up later on (as I preferred shiny plates rather than pale ones:-D)

    The airplane is built last year. Prior to my Tamiya F-14D build. OOB except for some modification on the landing gear legs, and a little re-shaping with nose section and nacelle sections. The paint I used was Gunze Mr. Color, a solvent based color. Painting was done in four steps: 1) apply a layer of Mr. Surfacer 1500 primer; 2) making preshading with brownish black ; 3) basic painting, but with thinned paint so as not to fully cover the preshading; 4) weathering with Winsor Newton Oil color Here comes the reveal photos. Hope the photos show up properly

    Hello, this is my first try with Kinetic kit. This is the Spanish version of F/A-18A+ I finished March 2020 The fitting was not quite good, with nasty seams on the rear fuselage and the base of windshield. I used a lot of putty and had to sand it with a FILE, yes, a FILE. I chose the Spanish scheme C.15-25 (15-12) in its 2015-2016 status (no roundel over left wing, no obvious walkway over LERX). I grabbed spare TAURUS and IRIS-T missiles from an old Revell Eurofighter Typhoon kit. As for the landing gears, I opted to modify them into in-flight mode. Putting the diff

    Finally finished, it had been a long time I was having problems to post pictures here in ARC forum. I had posted in britmodellers before, so WIP thread is here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235079872-tamiya-148-f-14d-tomcat-wip Also I had done similar work with the AMK kit: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235079280-amk-f-14d-vf-213-oef-2001-148/ This work consist of three parts: 1, Tamiya 61118 F-14D Tomcat, 1/48 2, KASL Hobby F-14A/B/D Slat & Wing Flap Set (Perhaps this is the most difficult pa

    The sun finally comes out, so I have the chance to take some shiney photos I took this photo for reference ：-）Although I noticed in most case the undercarriage doors are closed when gears are down and locked

    1/48 Short Tucano converted from hobbyboss EMB-312. The following parts are modified: 1\ the original three blade is converted into a four blade propeller 2\ jet pipes are moved to lower front fuselage 3\ the nose section is slightly modified to represent a smoother cross section on the Short Tucano rather than Embraer Tucano 4\ Added a frame and detonation cord to the original canopy 5\ Added the ventral airbrake, leaving it at closed position
  11. Zhou Kun
    Finally realized that the airbrake is hung below lower fuselage rather than being integrated in to fuselage skin....so i made one out of placard Now it is finished
  12. Zhou Kun
    A little update: canopy painted, decals applied. Detonation cords are made of some spare decals from other kits

    Really pleased to draw attention of those who know Short Tucano well. I did noticed that the ventral brakes are one of the difference between Short Tucano and Embraer Tucano. Unfortunately Hobbyboss kits represents the EMB-312 Tucano only, so there is no ventral brake on the kit. I simply decided to omit this airbrake, cuz I would like to build a Tucano with clean configuration (suppose it in closed position). Regards.

    I used oil paint solved by lighter liquids Regards.

    As far as I know, there are two major versions of Brazilian Tucano: the EMB-312 Tucano basic trainer and EMB-314 Super Tucano(which is actually a light attack aircraft). Hobbyboss has released both versions. Brazilian EMB-314 Super Tucano (Hobby Boss - Nr. 81727 - 1:48) The conversion set you mentioned above would be suitable for this version https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hobby-boss-81727-brazilian-emb-314-super-tucano--227138 Brazilian EMB-312 Tucano (Hobby Boss - Nr. 81763 - 1:48) This is released in 2017, a new tooled injection kit for the Embraer E
