I'd go for a greener look, I agree that yellow or orange does something and it does not look coherent with the rest of the cabin. It is nicely painted but togheter with the rest it looks kinda awkward. Just my 0.02

Always nice to see your progress Elmo!

BTW I've presented it to the IPMS convention and got a third place! not bad for my first time ever!

Thnx for the comments guys! it turned out really nice!

Coming from you is a great compliment! I appreciate it!

Sorry I forgot to mention it! yes it's the 1/72nd scale! thnx for your comment!

This is the Hobby Boss kit, I only added a coupke of Fujimi pilots since they were not provided and were needed to be able to make the in-flight display! I did this one as a present to my nephew, that's why it has a "Jlo" mark on the tails cause that's his nickname! Hope you like it as he did!

You are right! I didn't use the Fairy-Hobby windshield, because somehow I managed to ruin it during the cutting process, that's why I left the canopy open!

Insane Oliver!!!! is the folding mecanism strong enough to hold the blades by itself?

You are right Whiskey! even tho I like it, I have to agree that not so strong would have been better!

I finished this model about a year ago but just now I realized I didn't post it here. I was kind of documenting the build but after the Photobucket thing everything went south for this model I used lots of aftermarket to make it as pretty as possible! for the first time I was looking for accuracy not so deeply but I wanted it as close as possible! I started with the academy kit Wolf pack Su-30 MK Flanker cockpit set Wolf Pack Su-30 MK Flanker update set Quickboost correct nose cone Fairy Hobby Vacuum canopy Brassin Tires resin exhaust (don't know the brand) Caracal decals wich are awesome, but untortunatly they are designed to fit the HobbyBoss not the Wolf Pack ones, so I had to paint most of them but still managed to use some of the decal, other tan that se decal sheet is awesome! and a bit of begemot's data The camo colors were mixed to get as close as possible! this was the most difficult part cause I'm almost color blind and really bad for mixing! A big thanks to Ichitoe and his wife to make this build possible!

Is it me or there only two pictures showing?? I admire your work Elmo and dedication!!!

Great job as usual Chuck! I've been following your build from day 1! don't coment much cause I don't have much to say other than wow! and it doesn't add to your posts! updates are so interesting and full of information I learn a lot during your builds!!

As I said before, I'm kinda sad this build came to an end! but on the other side I'm really happy to see such a nice model!!! great job Steve!! Kudos!!

The smallest detail is absolutely well done! talk about dedication!!!
