solher1 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Here are some of my in progress pictures of the Academy Su-27UB.

Just4kiks Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Cool, what markings are you planning on doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solher1 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Cool, what markings are you planning on doing. I will use a Red 64 from the Russian Navy, Chkalovsk AB (Kaliningrad) which was repainted with an eagle motif on the fail fin and with eagle eyes and mouth. Keep posted for the next pictures in few days. Thank you. Juan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Impressive camo paint scheme. Your cockpit really looks quite good. Looking forward to seeing decals on, and then some weathering. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solher1 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Here are some more pictures of my Academy Su-27UB with markings and stencils. I used Linden Hill Flankers on Patrol 3 and Begemot stencils. I must admit that putting all those stencils took a lot of time, but I believe it was worthy. The set is really recommended. The Linden Hill decals are great too. The next step is another layer of clear  in preparation for the weathering. Stay tuned. I hope you like them.

Joel Hi Joel, I have not applied any weathering yet besides pre-shade and pos-shade, I will do the weathering after I apply a layer of clear on top of the decals. Thanks.

Air-to-Air Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Juan, that's looking very good. I like the work you've done in the pits too, very sharp. What scale is it? You'll have to pardon my ignorance if the scale is "common knowledge", I am a newbie to these forums and I am only just starting to appreciate the attractiveness of blue Russian aircraft.

I am sorry I did not post the scale assuming everybody would know it is a 1/48 scale. Thank you for your comments. Juan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelmax Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Great work Juan. Loved your choice of decals. I'd like to know what aftermarket goodies did you used if any? thanks, Ernie A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solher1 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Great work Juan. Loved your choice of decals. I'd like to know what aftermarket goodies did you used if any? thanks, Ernie A. Hi Ernie, So far, I have used Neomega cockpit, Miniarm resin cone, but soon I will use Eduard wheels and missiles, among others. Thank you. Juan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solher1 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hi All, Here are new photos of in progress 1/48 Academy Su-27UB. Now the Flanker is almost complete with only missiles, antennas, exhausts and maybe ladders to call it complete. Since the previous pictures, I highlighted the panel lines, applied some weathering. The final semi-gloss clear coat is still needed too. Feel free to comment and I hope you like them. Juan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 With all the superb Flankers being done by folks here, and this one is no exception..I'm somewhat nervous about doing mine. Your work does nothing but makes family model Flankers look gooooooooddd!!!. Very nice work with the bare metal :thumbsup: and git-r-dun!!. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
