It is not a huge deal but I think both the nose and the front of the canopy should have been more pointier. So this is an area where kittyhawk can upgrade.. The nose certainly and I would imagine the canopy would be effected as well. However, the photo you're showing us Fox seems to have been shot with a wide angle lens which distorted the photo as well as the angle it was shot at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aquilotto Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 well this is the proof !!!! hope kittyhawk will do a better job on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aquilotto Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 and for the purist most of the panel lines are just made on wrong spot ! and no panel lines on the nose ! but so far for what i can see your work is very good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vaildog Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Filled the non-existent panel lines in the nose Preliminary paint of the intakes and wheel bays Intake alignment is not the greatest. Better locating tabs would have been very helpful. Also I don't understand the decision to have the main landing gear fairing assembled along the seam. After filling and sanding, just needs another primer touch up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Boy, that is a tough seam. Amazing they would create a mess with the gear fairing like that as well. The fairings should have been separate parts, as I am also believing they should have tried to mold the nose separate from the forward fuselage. Did you try removing the locator pins etc.? I think I'll try to cut the tiny bit of fairing off in advance of the intake fitting, then glue it back after the filling and sanding. Kudos to your work my friend...stay the course!

Vaildog Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Warmer temps mean it's easier to paint in the garage. I like using white primer because it helps give a lighter scale effect to the overall finish. Some preshading/random splotches Finished underside with bare metal exhaust. Some Su-34s have these while others don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Matt Foley Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Looking forward to the completion and the topside 3 color camouflage. You'll have to provide us a summary of your kit impressions when you finish please. What brand of paint (and colors) are you using? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its the first time I've used the brand because they have the correct colors, but I'm really enjoying working with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Nice. I used Mr. Paint for the first time last week and that paint is awesome. I'll do my Su-34 in the Eggplant Gray using Mr. Paint. The pigment is so fine and it sprays like ink. Hope to see more of your project soon, it looks great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vaildog Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Sorry for the absence I finished the top side camo pattern and masked off the white parts of the tails and radome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 wow!! that looks great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dsahling Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 She's a beauty, I'm waiting for the Kittyhawk version to be released so I can figure out which kit to go with, very nicely done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Super job on the camo! Looks great. Nice work my friend, anxious to see more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Fabulous work on the hellduck! The paintjob is really coming together nicely The kit itself looks fairly alright but for the nose cone....we shall see how kitty hawk will fare...there is room for some aftermarket resin.

Vaildog Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 All wrapped up. Overall I enjoyed the build although a over $100, its a little steep for what you get. The Kinetic Su-33 is much more detailed kit of similar size for much less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Looking good! :) I am still holding until Kittyhawk releases their version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
