Berkut Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'm not know who's this model, but i'm know that preparing two PAK-FA models in 1/72 - firstly will be fully resin model from one producer, later will be styrene model from second producer.BTW - fantastic build, Ken. Hopefully Zvezda. Also, Sergei, that model looks mighty good. From the small scans it *seems* the intakes and nose looks a bit weird, but other that that, mighty good.

Flankerman Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 I hope they take their time to iron out details based on what little reference material's out there, and wait for more photos and other images to be released. Where did you hear about them?Ken, any ETA when you might have this finished? Maybe another couple months at most? Hmmmmmm.... I was aiming to have it finished sooner than that. My intention was to just have a basic model showing the shape of the thing - to display on our Soviet SIG stand to show what it looks like. (I remember those American comics I used to read - with ads for Revell & Monogram kits - "Be first on your block with this new model"....) That's why I did not intend to have panel lines - mostly because the model's surface consist of so many different textures (plastic, Milliput, Green Stuff) that I don't think I can get consistent clear lines - but mainly 'cos I am no good at scribing You guys are keeping me on the straight and narrow, encouraging me not to be satisfied with 'that's close enough'...... but I am torn between spending more time adding more detail - and being overtaken by events. I'm not know who's this model, but i'm know that preparing two PAK-FA models in 1/72 - firstly will be fully resin model from one producer, later will be styrene model from second producer. That's great news, Kotey, But now that the 'professionals' are getting in on the act - and there is promise of a real PAK FA model - I'd better get a move on. So, the decision is made - do mine as a simple model in its primer colours - then do another one in the full splinter camo - using the resin kit when it comes out (and there are some new pics from Zhukovsky) Cheers Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think it's from Paralay, but he is making a RC PAK-FA I think An Any idea where I can get a set? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kotey Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) I hope they take their time to iron out details based on what little reference material's out there, and wait for more photos and other images to be released. Where did you hear about them?Ken, any ETA when you might have this finished? Maybe another couple months at most? If detail photos of PAK-FA not published at web, its not seems, that not aviable to model designers, its photo is real and used during 3D model design. ;) Edited April 14, 2010 by kotey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Any idea where I can get a set? ;) Google Paralay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deino Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Any idea where I can get a set? :) Honestly ... this one is IMO even better ! If You ask him, he has a higher rez-version available. Deino Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It looks stunning :) - I for one can't wait....... Ken It must be stealthy--the control surfaces and inlets are invisible! No pressure to panel line... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Meanwhile...... back at my scratchbuilt PAK FA....... I sprayed they grey topcoat using a can of acrylic car spray - Ford Polar Grey..... The yellow primer is Humbrol 81 - Matt Pale Yellow, lightened with lots of white...... Most primer areas are masked and brush-painted, but the panels are painted decal sheet, cut to shape and added. I still have panels to add - and more detailing/tidying up to do.... The fins are temporarily attached............ Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 That's looking pretty darn good, Ken ! :) Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MiG31 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Good lords that looks gorgeous, Ken, even without scribed panel lines. That'll look sharp next to some of its Sukhoi predecessors. When are you starting on the T10-1? :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Good lords that looks gorgeous, Ken, even without scribed panel lines. That'll look sharp next to some of its Sukhoi predecessors. Thanks - I am quite pleased with the result. I think I've got the shape more-or-less right. When are you starting on the T10-1? Hmmmm... I keep looking inside the box, shuddering - and putting it away again. I reckon building the Unicraft T10 will be harder than scratchbuilding the T-50 Cheers Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
