josepedro Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Thanks everyone for the kind words!!! Here a small update, but an important one, because it´s time for painting Black on the canopy, and instalation of the pitot tube, wich seems a medieval weapon :wub: , a lot of putty, filing and sanding was needed in order to achieve an acceptable fit... Then it was forward for a green session on the radar radome Finally, i started with the main painting scheme, and sprayed the yellow on, over several coats of white, or else, as you know, it´s extremelly dificult to achieve the desired density on the color... I hope you like it as much as i do!!! It´s not perfect, but it´s proving itself a hard challenge, and an opportunity to develop my skills My best regards!!!

Sebastijan Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 great! although I'm almost 100% sure, the interior framing of the canopy is not black Quote Link to post Share on other sites
josepedro Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hello all, and thanks for the feedback!!! Sebastijan, it was a risk i decided to take, cause a pic that i have from an indian Su-7 suggest a very dark color. i´m preparing myself to live with it! Althoug the kopro instructions advise you to paint all of the "front" in yelllow, i found a couple of pics that show a black "stripe" on top of the fuselage, before the canopy. I masked it and gave it a layer of gloss, to increase the performance of the masks: And then i proceeded to pre-shading with XF-1 My best regards! José Pedro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
