KRI76 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I´m seeing the light at the end! This will be soon finished, I just must finish painting the ejection seat and put the final touch at the canopy attachment area. This is how it looks by now: No.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keep us posted on progres. :) Yes! I did rescribe all the surfaces.....It did take me ages!!! But I´m glad I did. I really find raised panel lines very unrealistic. I can say that experience can only be made by trying: this was for me the very first time I tried resribing. Before I only had done that to restore some line here and there that had desappeared after sanding and putting. So go for it if you feel like! /Kristian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KRI76 Posted March 10, 2004 Author Share Posted March 10, 2004 Sweet Flanker Kristian. I've got a couple of the Hasegawa's here, plus one RoG rebox and a Heller UB just screaming for me to build them.Dang, so many kits.... Jeff I would GLADLY take care of your Heller UB!!! It is impossible to find! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EF Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Excellent job!!! But I wish that kit was as good. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmanton300 Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 What the model world needs is a 72nd Flanker as accurate as the Airfix kit and as buildable as the Hasegawa one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bugfan Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Hey KRI76, that looks GREAT!!! Can you fill me in on the colors you used, I have one in 1/48 thats just about ready for the paint booth. Once again LOOKS GOOD!! :P Jack aka BUGFAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest qmobc943 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Beautiful job! :P Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 That does look incredible. I'd also be interested in what paints you used. I've got a Su-27 inbound via eBay and have wondered what colors or manufacturer would be the best. Again, nice job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ForestFan Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Excellent job! Please tell us what paints were used? :P Taff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Diego Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I've got a couple of the Hasegawa's here, plus one RoG rebox and a Heller UB just screaming for me to build them. Hi Jeff, ...then wait till next week. Our "fighting Flankers" sheets in 1/72 and 1/48 are ready and will be then available for delivery. The sheet includes markings for some Su-27 already involved in combat and painted in many spectacular schemes: -Ethiopian AF Su-27S, standard camo, Ethiopian Flankers shot down 4 Eritrean MiG-29 during the 1999/2000 war. -Eritrean AF Su-27S and Su-27UB with light blue/dark green/"MiG blue-green"(sic) splinter camo and bogus canopy under the fuselage. -Angolan AF Su-27S and Su-27UB with spectacular sand/olive green/grass green camos. -Indonesian AF with a beautiful mid grey/light grey disruptive camo. Happy modelling Diego HDL http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Hi-D...-Decal_Line.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KRI76 Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 I used Humbrol´s. I read in a magazine ("Model Wings" No.12) an article by Paolo Cattaneo, describing his built of a 1/48 Academy Su-27. The pix showed a very convincing paint job, so I decide to try that myself instead of using the Xtra colors I had planed to use. The colors are like following: Light Blue (FS 35550): 10% Humbrol 89 + 90% Humbrol 130 Blue Grey (FS 35550): 10% Humbrol 89 + 90% Humbrol 147 Dark Blue Grey (FS 35550): 70% Humbrol 89 + 30% Humbrol 130 For the radome I used Humbrol 105 (for the darker shade) and a lightened shade (like 15-20% of white...don´t remember exactly) for the lighter one. I´m glad you like it! I hope this colors will work for you as well! Just a question: I´d need some pics of the area where the canopy is attached to the fuselage, because it is really too flat otherways, and the pics I have don´t show that much. Can anyone help? /Kristian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Thanks for the color info. Hopefully this will help with the area under the back of the canopy: The image is from the Linden Hill site. You can also go here for another look at the area under the rear of the canopy: http://www.b-domke.de/AviationImages/Flanker/0954.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Filak Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Wow - I thought that it was actually the Academy kit when I first looked at it. Wonderful job on the paint scheme - I can't believe that you re-scribed that kit - that's a lot of oddball panels to scribe! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hi KR176 I thought your model was a larger scale! Excellent work on your Flanker....... Very well done... :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skuki Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 (edited) Excellent model Kristian, The colous are awesome, not to mention panel lines. It is better to have model with reccesed panel lines by yourself than hasegawa. Hope we will have pictures soon. Edited February 26, 2005 by skuki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KRI76 Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 Skuki: this is a since long completed project. Here are the links to other posts of mine: Italeri Flanker nr.1 Italeri Flanker nr.2 Italeri Flanker nr.3 /Kristian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
