paulsbrown Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Here's my Su-30MKI based on the Academy kit. I used Sol, A.M.U.R Reaver, Neomega, Fairy Hobby, Eduard, Begemot, Aires, AKAN paints, Metallic Details and various other Flanker bits. It was quite a fight to get it all together but I'm glad I finally managed, it's a Flanker I always wanted on the shelf. The AKAN paints for this particular Su-30MKI Bort 01 and the second prototype 06 were excellent and Begemot had both the demonstrator's decals, I think there's something to be said for companies that produce such niche items for kits that don't really exist without some aftermarket and elbow grease. I think now I'll reward myself with a well deserved, relaxing build of one of the latest 1/48 Flanker family that arrived last week. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skuki Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Incredibly beautiful... and not an easy work there, good old Sol - ancient history these days between all those new flanker kits. therefore it is realy nice to see someone using it. I remember my Su-33 conversion and the amount of work there thanks for sharing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 A most impressive build for sure. Both aircraft together really makes quite a positive statement about your modeling skills. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neffan01 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Good job ! Beautiful this Flanker. I was sad to learn the crash at the Paris Air Show 😞 I intend to do it at 1/72 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Oh good fortune I didn't see it in december. I always get a craving for some russian aviation in december. Wierd. Very nice looking Flanker. Love the metal parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Give me a holler if you want build photos anytime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
