Thanks guys! I've got a bunch of learning to do for my upcoming ATC exams so not much time for modelling, unfortunately. I managed to finish the main wheel wells though.

I haven't posted anything in this section for a while but I've decided that this is about to change. Brand new GWH kit of the Su-27UB in 1:48 and from my initial inspection, I am quite certain you can make it into outstanding looking model without use of any aftermarket products. Progress is slow as I have a bunch of exams at work in the near future and parenting and other hobbies take a toll, but still, I am gaining momentum with this build nevertheless. First completed piece is front gear well - I am doing an early version of the UB so I've chosen the open bay wi

The aircraft I had a pleasure of photographing at MAKS 2019. Full article about the aircraft, the model and direct comparison with Hasegawa kit in same scale and of course the full gallery at: https://vvsmodelling.com/2020/12/11/su-35s-flanker-e/

MRPs: Applicable to desert camo and new splinter camo Tan FS 20400 - MRP-244 Brown FS 30140 - MRP-233 Forest Green FS 34079 - MRP-101 Camouflage Grey FS 36622 - MRP-104 There are two variants of blue camo - blue/grey and blue/sand Blue is both times FS35450 - MRP-240 Sand FS33578 - MRP doesn't have this colour in their selection but I'd take MRP-226 Sand and take it from there Grey FS36622 - MRP-104

MRP-49 is too dark for the MiG-31 landing gears. Not sure which paints are you using but I'd just pick a grey, that is slightly lighter from the paint you will be using for the airframe.

All Navy Su-30SMs have three tone bottom camo. Here's a photo of 45 where you can clearly see it's not uniform blue. https://russianplanes.net/id240244

I switched from MM enamels to MRP lacquers - best thing I did in my scale model "career". As for the inaccuracy claims - each company has rotten eggs in their baskets and it would seem, the paint saga can often be quite subjective. I really like them. Hell no, I LOVE them.

Man that looks FAST! Really great looking model! Even if I prefer P/PDs I am now considering adding one of the Rs to my collection.

Great job! what's that tool called you used for making the camo masking?

Great job on the couple! Can't wait to start mine - got the 4 of them in royal class boxing. What's wrong with kit stencils that you decided to replace them?

Glad I could be of use with the vids. I am improving the quality as well with the current build. Filming was a steep learning curve so I'll try to improve as much as I can with the limited resources I have at hand. Yeah I skipped a few minor things in the vids - I masked the canopy and airbrushed the sealant. But in case you haven't noticed, Begemot released sealant decals in 3 different pink tones in 1:72 and 1:48 just a few days ago. Thanks for the info on the UB-32/wheel door thingy. I will certainly remember this if I build any more mudmoving variants 🙂

Cool W40K projects you got there! I was also tempted into these by a couple of friends and will probably build a few Space Wolves figures.

Thank you, guys!

Thank you, Mario!

Thank you, Moritz! Link sorted out! I have a plan to build several Afghan war veterans in the future, so this Azeri bird was kind of a testing ground and I really like the outcome. regarding the UB-32s, ha you got me. I used overtrees version and instructions from the very first bunny club members edition release, which had only brassin a2s weapons included. Although I have checked Ed's instructions in pdf on their site, there is no mention of UB-32 or different doors. I am not so familiar with the -21 to know this "mod" but it seems entirely possible.

New addition to my display cabinet! Full article and gallery: https://vvsmodelling.com/2020/08/09/mig-21sm-fishbed-j/ And in video for the first time: https://www.youtube.com/embed/cPJ14amMNAI https://www.youtube.com/embed/pkZkmmtt6jE

Thanks guys! Actually they come with the kit - it's a special edition of Revell Spitfire with 2 Eddies and 2 variants of decals - either this Aces High or the stage version that Iron Maiden are using on current tour.

I don’t normally build ww2 era planes and even rarer you can find 1:32 subject on my desk. But having Revell release this kit about 6 months before my good friend’s birthday, who is (surprise surprise) a huge Maiden fan, the ever present “what to buy for birthday” question was solved then and there. I am happy how she turned out and the Spit brought the new proud owner to the brink of tears and a huge bear hug 😄 Anyhow, Up the Irons!

Thank you, Ken! Like the Facepalm but I guess it could also be called Flop 😄

Thank you, Moritz!

Thanks Ken! Glad you like my work so far. I've spent quite some time trying to figure out the colours. The instructions suggest Humbrol codes but I don't use enamels anymore. As I am painting exclusively with Mr.Paint lacquers now, I was searching their catalog. Blue shouldn't be a problem as I have a bunch for different Flanker variants - in the end, AMT-7 WW2 underside blue seemed a good match. Black was no brainer, dark Green I've decided on SEA Dark Green. Sand, I was searching in their catalog and found a good match - will write it down when I finish the kit in the article. Mi

Here she is. Took a while but I am satisfied with the result.

Model is now primed and almost ready for painting. Why almost? Because during the photo shoot, I noticed a small crack appeared in the nose, which I have to fix first! The aircraft is a real behemoth. Compared to the MiG-21, it looks like it’s a bigger scale. I imagine its size wouldn’t be an advantage over the battlefield either. Armament to be mounted on the aircraft.
