I did not get my photos uploaded, but I think at the end I'll just summarize all the area's you need to show extra care to get things together correctly. The wing fold parts simply did not fit as they came off the sprue and I had to do some surgery to get them the work. I got the weapons gloss coated at the end of the evening and will let those dry for a few days. I did find my Mig 31 decals so I'll throw some on to add some interest to the plain weapons and get those mounted. Need to weather the tires a bit and get the gear pieces and doors installed. The model is kind of at a delicate stage right now with the wings mounted so it might be slow going. Thanks again for all the kind words. It does look nice in the photos and the paint job really stands out. But their are a lot of little issues on the kit if you look closely. Certainly not a win, place, or show at any contests but I knew at the start that would happen. Really just bought this for the paint job! Sir, Well done, you obviously meet your intent! That's a beautiful paint scheme and you did it justice! I too also bought it for the paint job and for the sheer size for comparison next to my Hornets...you have inspired me to get to mine soonest!

Sean F Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Pretty much done at this point. I took some finish photos, and then realized I'd not put the pitot tube on the front. It's a brass piece, but supposed to be black at the base and chrome at the front and that's not going to get done tonight. So here's where I am and should have some final photos I'll post in the display case later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sean F Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Kasatka just linked this on the MiniBase SU-33 thread. This is a much nicer build than mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
