haneto Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Updates!! Armory APA-5D starter conversion set was used. It was a hard built 'cause the PE set is too thick to handle. But at last,it was made. The wiring was made from cotton lines,soft enough to prevent bending the tiny PE parts. Next will be painting it. It's great to be a 1/72 guy,especially if you're fond of diorama things & Russian wings. Thanks for watching! Yufei Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pavel SDV Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Great work, Yufei. I remember I had a lot of problems with wires on my APA (it was a forefather of this one) but your one looks unbelievable! Can't wait to see the finished masterpiece. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haneto Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Thanks a lot! Especially a big thank you to Pavel,thank you for sharing us with your archivements and brought us the most important and popular Russian airfield vehicle. I also met a lot of troubles with wiring during my built,but finally,liquid super glue would be the key,instead of the gel ones. Cheers! Yufei Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haneto Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 APA-5D is finished. I painted parts seperately for before assembling for a easier way to weathering. But my poor DC makes the colours very odd on the pictures. The true effect is much more weathered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haneto Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Also comes the ZSh-5 flight helmet. Most Su-27 and MiG-29/31 pilots use ZSh-7 helmets nowadays,but you can still find some old ZSh-5 series in some training regements. (Even Russian MiG-29SMT pilots use ZSh-5 ones where I saw a photo.)

Backfire Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Awe inspiring work as usual, Yufei! Where do you display your finished works? They should be in a museum so that many people can see them firsthand. Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eastern Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Oh my...! It's freaking awesome! Absolutely stunning! Yufei, this is a top notch build. And then, guys, this is 1/72 scale! Just fancy how tiny some parts are, but they look crisp and neatly as if they are the larger scale! Cheers and happy modeling! Alexander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haneto Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Scrathc built a 1/72 Russian pilot today,using AB putty,masking tape and some junk PE parts.Z ZSh-7 flight helmet,KM-35 oxygen mask and IPS-72 harness,the standard equipments of Soviet/Russian pilots from 80's till now. These 2 photos borrowed from pilot.strizhi.ru(please tell me if there's any problems then I will delete them.) References?Real things are always the best. :lol: I wonder if there's any market for it? If so,maybe I can make some resin copies? Thanks for watching! :D Yufei Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Qian Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 HOLY COW MAN!!! That pilot is AWESOME!!!! I can imagine how small that little dude is considering that the yi jiao is about 2cm in diameter. And to stick all that tape and little PE parts on that little guy really demonstrates your fantastic skills and hand control. I'm totally by this! OUTSTANDING!!! :lol: :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragan_mig31 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Haneto you are the best :) :worship: the pilot looks very realistic.if you make resin copies i belive there are at least a dozen moellers here that will buy several of theese pilots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
