Sebastijan Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just found a few profiles and a photo showing it from the left side, being in a row of several Flankers, but you've already probably seen that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mario krijan Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Yes they are!! I will try to find more!! There was many pictures of it!! But cant find them right now 😥😥😥 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 I have most of what I need..the freshly painted cammo is a good guide the weathering will be challenging. I see primer showing through in many palaces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Looks like the change in colour happened between 2011 and 2012 2011: https://russianplanes.net/id193497 blue 41 cool shot with live missiles and sorbtsiya pods 2012: https://russianplanes.net/id153393 red 41 2015: https://russianplanes.net/id168413 same bird after overhaul now designated red 16 I prefer blue 41 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 For brutal over the top weathering Red 41 is a perfect choice. :))) Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Think blue 41 and red 41 looks just as badly weathered.....I see primer shining through in places. But is the paint scheme the same as on the refurbished red 16? (What is left of it) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 keep in mind Blue 41 served for around two decades, so the weathering is anything from slightly faded paint job with paint oversprays over the tactical number areas to the extreme weathering as you can see in these latest 201x shots.

Aigore Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 OK finally time to paint.... I´m using the Akan line of Sukhoi paints, I´m going for a really weathered jet so I´m using the dafed paints.... First off light blue Next it is light grey....you can hardly see any difference 😛 And finally the blue... Dark blue grey where the former numbers have been painted over. Then I begun shooting some zinc chromatic yellow in places where the paint will have worn down to the primer. To create the illusion of the yellow being under the other paints I made a mask of a thin slice of dish spunge to create edges and stains. I´ll keep working over the fuselage a few coats before I seal it all and start on the engine nacelles. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ViperZero Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Janne, looks great on the paint. Keep it up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BaconRaygun Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Looks great. Looking forward to seeing it finished! I should be on to my next flanker build by that time, so it will provide some additional inspiration! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Update time.... lots of paint 😛 Putting on bettering paint spots and bare metal and more spots. A little bit of unmasking and dry fitting. Masked the intakes....should realy have done this before assembly. Painted the intake in ndark aluminium and the intake lip in white aluminium on top of honey primer for a bit of shine. Added some aluminium pigments with a brush to get some subtle bare metal sheen. Then I masked the nacelles. While laying down gloss black I slipped and got a big spot on the model luckily in is painted with acrylics so I could wipe off most of the spill but I need to do some betterig here later. OK, Alclad gloss black. incredebly thin paint but it b rings a highly glossy surface...I´vce used the same bottle for more than ten years now still works like a charm. Next a thin coat of Airframe Aluminium just to bring out the high shine. And I finished todays session with painting the nacelles in a thin coat of White aluminium, I still get the Airframe aluminium shine tho I toned it down a bit. I now have my blank canvas for engine weathering. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Sorry to hear about the spill but I know you can fix it. But that paintjob/weathering is truly amazing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
