Sebastijan Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 OK I managed to glue the fuselage halves together. The joints will require some attention but nothing serious I guess... since I had the barrel together I want to see how it looks with wings attached. So I dryfitted the wings and the tail and to my surprise, the wings fit almost perfect while the tail has a wide gap at the root in front and will have to be filled with styrene and putty...

Laurent Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Sebastijan ? Did you do any progress ? I've pasted the wings on my su-9 and the fit isn't too bad but filling is needed on the underside. Take care that the stabilators are at the same height on the fuselage !

Sebastijan Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hi Laurent - the fit of the wings to the fuselage is almost excellent... However this kit suffers the same problem as Su-9 - wing halves are too thick and will have to be sanded... No real progress on the kit though... I am puttying and sanding the fuselage halves now, almost at the end actually, then I'll get on with the wings and tail... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 currently dealing with these... I think Laurent knows exactly what I'm dealing with Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 New year, new beginnings some progress... the tail has been attached and the seam puttied, now it awaits the sanding :blink: I'll deal with the wings now :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) wings attached and the wing-to fuselage joints puttied... a seanse of sanding awaits flaps were deflected, too Edited January 10, 2008 by Sebastijan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 I am so glad this beast is nearing the priming stage... looks quite good, don't you think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 It sure does. Does the canopy fit ok ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lulldapull Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I guess mine is at a similar stage with everything attached and sanded smooth except the canopy glued. I was waiting to see if someone has any spare Reheat data placards for me to buy as I cannot find that Reheat sheet anymore, nor do I have any instrument side console decals left anymore. :( My Su-11 would be a show stopper when done! :D Btw. So far Great job Sebastien! How did you like sanding the innards of those wing tops so that the bottom halves fit together??? :lol: This A-model is still in the dark ages man! Also if there is one last wish of mine from A-model it is for them to do a very nice Tu-22 Blinder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) actually it looks so good to me in this gloss black primer, I'd leave it as it is cockpit fit was quite ok... no big problems there, just a small gap on the right side which was easily filled with clearfix...

Sebastijan Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Alclad rules!!! the base colour was White aluminium with shades of DarkAlu and DurAlu... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Today I was playing with small things on my Sukhoi. the exhaust part was painted dark alumuinium but the paint was too contrast to white aluminium, so I toned it down... I painted steel the whole array of small panels along the fuselage and wings, the intake lip with a bit darker shade of aluminium... and dark green the radome, the top of the tail and a small circle behind the canopy... next step: Decalling!
