SakisG Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hi! This is the Sukhoi SU-7BM from Modelsvit in 1:72 scale that I finished recently. I have done some scratch built work on the IP and put an ejection seat from Pavla. The base is the russian airfield plates from ICM which Ι painted them with acrylics and weathered with with AK products. It was an enjoyable built no matter the shortrun nature of the kit. I hope you enjoy the photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Really nice! I too would be interested in what paints you used, especially for the dark brown color. That one seems hard for me to match and seems to vary on different aircraft from that era. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used Gunze, Mr Hobby colors. For the light brown I started with H72 Dark Earth and went lighter with H310 and H27 Tan. The dark brown is H406 Chocolate Brown and the green H309. These were lightened with white to create shades or a bit of lighter brown and green. The bottom is H67 lightened with H314. They were also weathered with AK products. The gloss and mat varnish are Winsor & Newton Galeria acrylic mediums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thadeus Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Nice one. You made the ugliest (IMHO) of the Fitter family look really great. Looks different from the silver ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
