1/48 Su-33 Red 81


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

Here are some pictures of my Kinetic Su-33 built in 2016 for french Cocardes Magazine issue n°5.

The build took me around 7 months, as I spent a lot of time on painting and decaling.

Weathering is subtle as I wanted to depict a quite clean and bright rendering.

I chose to set a full load as seen on some pictures on the ground, but it is not that common.

I found the kit quite good. Just had a trouble on the nose fit.

The most annoying was the poor instructions... Not easy to understand and succession of building step are quite disturbing.

Fortunately, Kinetic shared updated instructions here:

While no seatbelts were given in the box, I replaced the seat with Aires resin one.

Pitot is from master.
Decals from Begemot (Su-33 and flanker stencils)
As some pylons are missing in the box, I added those from Eduard brassin.

And More R-27 missile come from GWH Fulcrum.

Thanks!

As for the colors I used Gunze paints.

 

Light blue: H45+H308+X2
Middle blue: H45+H5
Dark blue: H328+H45+ a drop of emerald green

 

But after demasking, the colour balance was not that great.

So each color was filtered using heavy thinned acrylic shades of blue, with slow drying solution.

In that way i managed to correct the colors.

 

I Guess there are other gunze blue paints more suitable 

 

If you dont want to bother with complicated mixes, you should try Mr Paint su33 colors.

 

Cheers

Those paints:

To me, they are the most accurate for painting a nowadays su33

 

 

Bertrand, a Friend of mine, did this comparison:

I'm using MRP 199 and 200 but 201 is completely wrong. It is a plain grey color and, as you can see with the AKAN version, it should be a light blue grey. So I am using the AKAN color instead of  201. 199 and 200 are close enough for me.

I'm agree that MRP colors are good, but Akan colors are also very good and I can offer you this link - https://www.ebay.com/sch/sena-computers/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1

 

It is already possible to get in USA. Very fast delivery.
