Armitage Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 That's amazing! I'm busy with a 1/48 Flanker and the level of detail you have achieved makes mine look very plain. Great build! :) Wayne Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wasserfall Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 This time i did some work on the landinggear, as there is a lot to improve! The basic kit oleo (if i may call it that way) is replaced with resin parts which are handcrafted by me, they even move up and down! Also i made a start with the hydraulic pipes etc. which i made from solder tin For the front gear i will use the kit mudguard even if it isn't accurate ( i think only Flankerman will spot this:) ) Here are some pics, i post some more later on. a more close up view: Thanks for watching and i'll be back soon:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel111 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Wasserfall, great to see you back at it. I incidentally went through your entire Flanker posting over the weekend, in anticipation of re-engaging my Flanker. Inspirational stuff! Cheers, Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, Marcel Thanks Marcel, It's about time to finish my model:) btw, did all the pictures show up when you went through my postings? Cheers!! Henry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wasserfall Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 These pictures shows the more or less completed maingear. The reall maingear has some more detail, but i think this will do, it shure looks "busy" to me The next pictures show the frontgear included with wiring etc. Struts still have to be attached, but that will be in the final assembly of the kit. Hope you liked it, i'll be back soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Youngtiger1 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Nice to see you back on the saddle. It sure has been missed. Landing gears looks nice. Keep it coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RB211 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Priwjet! Some work on the weathering this time, i used oil paint, mixed some black, white and burntsienna thinned with white spirit, let it dry for 15 minutes and wiped of with a cloth. It's the first time that i use this technique, and this is just a start, anyone with suggestions, please feel free to comment. There are several exhaust pipes on the reall flanker, which leave mostly a brown/yellow residu, i will try to replicate that too later on. Overview with weathering and without how did you get that nickel/steel effect? Without any weathering looking very sterile It's a start, any suggestions, please feel free. Thanks, Wasserfall Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wasserfall Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Hi all, After the work on the landinggear i started weathering the main wheels after flattening them a bit, as i see it now the rubber needs some toning down and showing more wear, Suggestions? Oke back to the main fuselage where i did some weathering on the engine compartment using black and some white oilpaint, heavely diluted with whitespirit. i used a flat brush to apply it and let it dry for half an hour then gently wiped the exces paint of with a cloth. After this i think it needs some chipping were the paint is damaged or worn from the extensive use of maintenance to the engine, but i do this later on. Back to the underside, on the Flanker DVD the engine nacelles show lots of oil or smudge as seen on this picture. [ Which i tried to replicate with yellow/orange oilpant with the same tecnique as mentioned before. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Next a detail shot of the underside, still need to correct some minor things i overlooked while making the picture, hope you like it. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Cheers! Thanks, In a few hours i post some other pictures! Edited June 1, 2011 by Wasserfall Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marcel111 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 As said before, the metal shading is really well done, one of the best metal heat effects I have seen. Nice job on the bottom side weathering too, you managed to keep the streaking parallel , which I usually find to be the biggest challenge. Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
