Two Mikes Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Great work on the metal finish Waco. Like mentioned, not a subject one sees much.Well done. If it wasnt for the gear doors it would be sweet!! LOL (Inside joke with Waco and I before anyone thinks I am being a bigger jerk than normal) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 If it wasnt for the gear doors it would be sweet!! LOL ;) maybe he thought he was building an F-15 where only one of the doors stays open with the gear down Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarkW Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Very nice--love the green/NMF. The aftermarket parts are very well blended. Just between you and me, I don't think the Ukranians are very good spellers...Maestro is messed up. But hey, for non native English Speakers, not too bad. And maybe I've seen too many movies, but from a distance the tail crest kind of looks like a Decepticon badge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Very nice build. That long nose on the airplane makes it gloriously "fugly!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richter111 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Good build, interesting design, looks so chunky, almost too blocky to be able to fly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waco Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks again... Yeah, the Flagon is an ugly airplane. Purposeful looking though. I'll bet that sucker was F-A-A-A-A-S-T in straight lines. As a heavy interceptor for defense of the motherland, that's all it really needed to do: go fast in straight lines. The huge nose also belies the power of the radar in that sucker. While not terribly sophisticated, I'll bet it pumped out a lot of trons. Interesting aircraft. Somebody previously mentioned the landing speed, which I'm sure made this thing a handful to fly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Av8fan Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Nice build. I saw this and Mr. Reeves build and I was just looking online for pics. Found this on airliners SU-15 Airliners.net Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Two Mikes Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Nice build.I saw this and Mr. Reeves build and I was just looking online for pics. Found this on airliners SU-15 Airliners.net Sweet pic of the business end!! Funny neiter the kit parts or Eduard parts look close. The ciro parts are "OK" but pretty rough as I look at them closer. What to do? What to do?? Cheers!! Mike PS: got a little more done today so I will post pics in the AM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waco Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 That is a pretty neat shot of the exhausts... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Great model Waco! The variations in colors looks great, and the shine is also spot on. They are rather matt indeed. Here are some pictures of an Ukranian two seater from Poltava: My grandfather was stationed at Su-15 base. (as a doctor) He said that accidents was very usual, and quite often due to landing speed.

Kasatka Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi, Waco! It does look as Su-15TM! Congratulation on the completion of this build! I know this is not an easy one =) Great finish and a very nice variant too! =) Cheers! Sergey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuji Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hey Waco, that's really nice. Always did like the Flagon for some reason. Gotta get me one of these kits again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Supertom Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hey Waco, that Flagon looks awesome! I feel like building mine now (in 1/72). Mike, have you tried Tamiya XF-23 Light Blue? It looks fairly close. Berkut, what's with that strange light blue nosecone? Is it highly faded green paint or was it always that color? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 you did a very impressive Flagon Waco! it looks very nice with the "maestro" markings. nice paint too! thanks to share with us your builds! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
