60 decals and counting....
-
ready for decaling :-)
-
cheers guys!
silly mistake - i thought id be able to get away with attaching the canopy last, but the fit leaves a bit to be desired, so I opened the canopy and attached the front windshield.....requiring superglue and sanding :-S
-
Im down for 2 at least! ....my su-17 sans suffix arrived today....a su-17m2 would be very appreciated !
-
Does this include kits molded in 1980?
-
got the basic main colours on yesterday - still need to clean up the leakage, but happy with as-12 for lacquer silver look as on the real thing:
-
after a TON of filling with supergue, sanding....rinse, repeat.....we got primer on today to check for any missed seams! :-)
-
Hehe yea ive been using superglue to fill as much as i can...wing tanks turned out Allright but i think intakes will be another matter!
This is one of airfix's better releases - would love a new tool though!!
Still undecided on a camouflaged or metal lacquer bird!
-
this afternoon I worked on the wing tanks - man, what a mission!
trying to ensure both tanks were aligned correctly took a ton of resetting, super glue, and patience! but i'm fairly confident they are aligned properly
(probably would have been easier to adapt the t-33 wing to the kit )
as per the kit:
removed the edges:
final result!;

HI Folks!
THis GB got me inspired to ressresurrect my 1/72 Chilean F-80C:
Its from the 1974 airfix kit, last id done is paint up the cockpit parts so hopefully ok!
am using the fuel tanks from an equally ancient hasegawa T-33 (dating back to 1969!):

Fake news, it's the new what-if..
Somewhere out there the guy who ps'd that pic must be rapt he gets his very own su-34 boxing!
-
Hehe yea, its very fake - though amusing italeri decided to make it a kit options!
-
-
got all the main assemblies together, started working on the nose shapes, where the kit is a bit out:
I extended the radome? found a proper FLIR ball, and checked how it looked with the zvezda cannon:
-
im looking forward to the special hobby 72nd kit, the AMK one looks amazing!
-
Just finished watching after seeing it mentioned here - Was really well made - great to see netflix tackle some of the smaller conflicts in the early cold war years - hopefully more to come!
though in the scene with the UN secretary on the plane - you see the chasing plane is a F-4 phantom!
-
Great builds seb! Your a modeling machine ☺

cockpit decaling done:

Hi Folks
I decided i would enter an Iraqi Mi-28NE as currently engaged in operations against ISIS :-)
decided to use the Revell Kit with some leftover parts from a long dead zvezda kit ( I would use a zvezda kit, but all the examples i've looked at in box have horrific cracks through the canopies
)
Im hoping to use the excellent Begemot Mi-35 sheet as a basis for the markings:
for zvezda donor parts i have the radome, complete cannon, antennae, and might cut up some previous ka-50 seats to use also:
I added a few small bits of detail from the spares box; most wont be seen - i think rubber black is my new favourite black! (scale effect yada yada...)
will use the kit cockpit decals, which although not accurate, are really nice :D
-
small update:
slowly coming together with lots of puttying and sanding!
IP finished, not totally happy with it - i tried to make convincing dials putting in white, then bits of black, then filling with clear varnish, it sort of works!
-
finished of the cockpit:
because reading the instructions is for chumps - i thought the piece for the lower 'radiator' was for something else, I had to remake the part from scratch - thal teach me!
-
the dark side welcomes you! :D
-

Does anybody have good cockpit reference photos for these beasts?
-
