This is a really neat site, I knew it existed because I will use it for reference from time to time, but did not know the scale of this site, its amazing!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karl Sander Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Incredible work! I've never seen that scheme before, it's a nice look for that aircraft and you did a really nice job rendering it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Excellent build and finish - love the engine nacelles. I know we are not supposed to critique on this forum - but may I make just one observation??? The model is of a Su-27SKM demonstrator Flanker - and the IRST should be offset to starboard and an IFR probe fitted to port. Nonetheless - it's a great model.

Crazy Snap Captain Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Beautiful paint job! What method did you use (i.e. freehand, stencil, bluetac)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iwan_canobi Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 This is just fantastic, a beautiful looking build! The paintwork is perfect, I also wouldn't mind to hear what technique you used? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

White Wolf Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 That's one Flanker that anybody would be proud to have on their shelf...if they can find the space for it, that is! Excellent work! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wisco8 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Beautiful paint job! What method did you use (i.e. freehand, stencil, bluetac)? Thank you Andrew. I just used a bunch of Tamiya tape and some pin striping that is used on rc planes, its very flexible but does not work to well on flat finishes, it tends to pull up the finish. I now use silly puddy,or blue tack for the contours. I'm still looking for a flexible tape that will stretch and stick to contours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent work! :) Thank you ChippyWho. I only have on model in my collection, its a truck I built for my brother,all the rest are all strung out around the world,so I'm not worried about space.
