1/72 Airfix Su-27


Recommended Posts

Ah, haneto- I have been waiting to see another one of your SUPERB builds! You have no idea how happy I am to see you doing your magic on a Flanker. It's such a beautiful aircraft. To see your incredible detail with 1/72nd scale I can't wait to see what you can do with 1/32. You have a magic touch, friend. Very nice work, sir!

Amazing work, especially for 1/72. At least it will take up way less real estate than the 1/32! Some more close ups of the paint work as it progresses would be great - very inspirational.

Cheers,

Mickey

Here comes the progress this week.

As March is the last financial month in Japanese company,I really have little time spending on it...... :doh:

Most panel lines are wrong,so I used super glue to cover them and keep on sanding until ready for recribing.

The bottm surface of front flap has a very noticable sink mark.Super glue and sanding is also need for filling them.

Also apply super glue on fuselage panels.Most of them are incorrect.

Then masking the canopy.

Sand the panel around canopy to fit the fuselage.

And here comes my ORIGINAL 1/72 Su-27 resin stuff!

Including exhausts,pylons and R-27(4 types).And I'm now busy with the making of R-73 master .

I received these resin copies just yeasterday and have no time to paint it.

Maybe tomorrow I'll finish painting them and you can check the DETAILS. :)

Pay attention to the size of 4 type R-27 missiles,with independent fins.

Exhausts,scaled down from AIRES 1/32 resin one.Size OK for Airfix or Italeri(No Hasegawa! :angry: )

And I suppose it can also be fit to the future-released Trumpeter 1/72 one. :lol:

Looking Good!!!! Makes me think of finishing my (our should I say: our) flanker this year! :lol: Well, let's say that I really want to be sure that the alclad I sprayed in the intake, doesn't crack. Should be save after 6 months!

Cheers!!! :thumbsup:

Thanks,guys!Some new pics for you!

The size of stabilizers needs corrected.And I plant brass rod into the rolling position.

Not in order to make the stabilizers movable,just want to increase the glueing strenth.

And then the stabilizor can be positioned at the angel when Flankers are on the ground.

Some details and size comparation of original resin pylons.

Dry-fitting the whole exhausts.

Dry-fitting to fuselage.The fitting is satisfaying.The details are scaled down from AIRES 1/32 ones.

After picking up some time during my busy working days,I finally finished these resin R-27 missiles.

The repeated works and the tiny parts really worn me out...... :wacko:

The fins and bodies are seperated so you can finish painting and weathering before assembling.

After washing.Now assemble them,just like the real thing!

Yes,though I'm still considering the "Red 01" Cobra mouth located in Kaliningrad. :cheers:

But I think I'll have enough time before deciding.

A Kilp-Yavr AB diorama will be my aim. :)

New progress!

I rescribed all the panel lines and rivets.

And the reference I used is the famous Flanker DVD.

After a comparation,I found neither Polygon or Flanker Story is correct.

So the best prove should always be real thing pics.

446676802_fbaee2b8f7.jpg

The panels and rivets are all based on the DVD,I didn't wanna make any execuse to miss any of them. :wave:

As the details on light plastic is hard to see,I made some improvement on the pics.
