stenkabg Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hi, friends. This is a little somenthing I added to my build from last year. I hope it gave it more realism. The ladder is custom photoeched, the pilot is converted from an Aires Warsaw Pact pilot, the rest is scratch-buit. Injoy the pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Beautiful! Did you use SOL conversion or did it on your own? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stenkabg Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yes, I used the SOL conversion, but rescribed it according to the drawing and photos I had. Also were used Aires cockpit and exhausts and I scratch-buit the wheel wells and detailed the undercarriage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IrishGreek Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Love the Flanker. Looks great. Please don't take this the wrong way, I am only asking because I don't know. Would weapons be mounted on pylons with the wings folded? I know they (the wings/aircraft) are stressed for many G's, but I've personally never seen an aircraft armed and wings folded. If so (plus they are our builds) it opens up a lot more display choices!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

geedubelyer Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Outstanding ;) How you made the ladder in 1/48th scale is beyond me. I struggled with the 1/32nd scale version! If I did n't know better I'd think this whole dio was larger scale. excellent job :lol: :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What I did was to brush three coats of Mr.Surfacer 500 on the tube framing to gile it some volume. If someone is interested in this ladder PM me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
