Van Buren Boys Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Greetings! After a long break from building, I was inspired last year by Haneto's 1/48 PLAAF Su-35 build: So, I dug out my Hasegawa 1/72 version and dove back in. And naturally as I was nearing completion of the model I learned of the upcoming 1/72 GWH version. 🤦♂️ Paints were a custom mix, decals from Begemot, the spares box, and a couple were printed at home. Here are the final results: I used Haneto's method for the engines using the Pigma markers (definitely better results than my previous Flankers). Here is what a mere mortal can achieve: Dispensers had to be moved from the top side of the stinger to the bottom: Ta da: I welcome any questions. Thanx for viewing!

Mstor Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Wow, hard to believe its 1/72. Well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 It looks great! Nice job on the motors- there’s a ton of visual interest and I’m sure it was difficult to do in 1/72 scale! Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBP1538 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Really nice Flanker! The "unpainted" areas and burner cans are awesome... especially given it's 1/72 scale. Nice work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Van Buren Boys Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Thank you all for the kind words! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I must have missed Haneto's mention of the Pigma markers - so I just Goggled them - but what a bewildering array of pens and sets etc. on offer.... Can you please elaborate on exactly which pens you used (size, colour etc) - and how? Thanks in aticipation - and once again, Fabulous Flanker.... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got this set of pens (0.2mm) from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DS6SRZ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I only used the blue, brown, and black pens (and the black was just to go over the brown while it was still wet to darken it a bit). Oh, and I also applied lots of Tamiya weather pigments before and after. Edited February 19, 2020 by Van Buren Boys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Many thanks VBB ..... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Nice Flanker! Love the exhausts and tailplanes metal sections. They look amaizing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
