Zactoman Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Did someone already receive the new intakes (beige colored) from Zactoman and how do they fit? The first sets, including yours, shipped today They fit much better than the white ones... Hope you like them! Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The_Animal Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 That does it...I quit. Anybody want to help me by buying my kits so I can get a D50? Seriously, Wasserfall, Beautiful job on the Flanker. That brass tube will definitely secure the rear. Looking forward to seeing this build progress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LST01 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Found it!!! :D Before I continue with the tail wings I'll read your thread first! :) Cherio! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upupandaway Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Slow train coming here, but I really like the custom work you did on the wheelbays. It looks really great That section on the kit part is really a bit unspetacular... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wasserfall Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 when looking at the vertical stabilizers of the real aircraft you can see the hinges where the rudder is attached clearly. so i tried to create them from styrene etc. In the first picture i cut away some plastic, note left and right side of the same rudder are different shapes for the holes! the little parts are the hinges in their rough form. And the other side. The next pictures show how it wil look like when they are attached. Finally i did some work on the intakes of the vert. stabilizers, it seems that the one on the left is slightly bigger than the right one (there is also a divider in the left one), but it isn't that much of a difference. i sanded the left one from the inside and the right one from the outside to create a different size. left one right one That's it for the moment, see ya Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Good work on the fins Wasserfall. You'll be pleasantly surprised how even these little additions make a big difference to the overall look of your model. Very neat and tidy job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wasserfall Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thanks Geedubelyer! I guess no one would ever notice, except some who are infected with Flankeritis :blink: But i'm glad i did it, if only small things, but they make a great difference as you say.

LST01 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Looking good!!!! I'll try the changes that you did tonight including the intakes on the vertical wings! Cheers!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wasserfall Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Here are some pictures of the (mkII) intakes, and they fit perfectly :blink: Thanks Chris ;) Nothing glued yet, just put it in place for the pic Now it's up to detailling the bays and inside intakes Other angle :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upupandaway Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Jealous I am :P. I´m still craving for the mkII intakes (although I think the mkI had a good fit too when I dry fitted them... ) and I find your adaptions to the fins very inspiring and might just do it similarly. Just keep it up! :D :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wasserfall Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) Hello fellow Flankerites suffering people :D Today some pics of my very slow build In the first picture i sprayed the inside of the intakes in a base color, Tamiya darkyellow oversprayed with a mist of silver. (on pictures this is mostly a yellowishprimer or bare metal. The fod covers are gunmetal which will be buffed with silver, engine fan is silver. It is just a base coat from which i will build furher on Painted the mainwheelwells also and weathered it with some pastel powders. Otherside And last one topside Maybe the weathering is to heavy, but it is going to be "used" bird. Thanks for watching. Edited April 14, 2006 by Wasserfall Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wasserfall Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) Happy Easter everyone! Finished the painting of the front Wheel well, and glued them in place, but first i took some pictures as shown. Left and rightside: And finally a close up Thanks for looking, if you have any comments please do. Now it's time to tackle with the intakes, (to be continued) Edited October 12, 2008 by Wasserfall Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Happy Easter to you too.......(~looks for Easter bunny smilie ^_^ ~) You obviously have a very steady hand my friend. Super detail painting. That wheel bay is tremendous. It's good to see you're getting some progress made. Thanks for updating this thread and letting us see your work.

David Walker Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 That nose wheel-well looks completely real. It may have been mentioned before (sorry, I haven't read the whole thread) but the writing on the end of the wheel well: is that a decal, dry transfer or hand painted?

It may have been mentioned before (sorry, I haven't read the whole thread) but the writing on the end of the wheel well: is that a decal, dry transfer or hand painted? It's a decal, but it is in Cyrrilic and it is from a decalsheet, but in reality it should be something like "battery" but that is not what is written in my well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liberator24 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 got a su27 in today, my first!! This rocks!! Nice detailing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upupandaway Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) Whew! :D You make me jealous (still). But painting those wheel wells is fun, isn´t it? I´ll keep watching! ;) Edited April 25, 2006 by upupandaway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wasserfall Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 Whew! You make me jealous (still). But painting those wheel wells is fun, isn´t it? I´ll keep watching! :) Yes it's quite fun to do, but my back hurts from leaning over Does your Evolution has a separate paint yar? like to get one some day.

upupandaway Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Oh lol! Man, that IS true. I quess there´s just no way to get around that. The Freehand does have two separate jars that can be screwed onto the gun and there´s also a lid for the big one. Looks like this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaRiO FDZ Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 WOW!!!! NICE work you're doing there!!! I like it <_< Take Care Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wasserfall Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Some time ago i painted the insides of the intakes ocre with a thin silver layer But after some studie's of the intakes on Kasatka's Flanker DVD, they seme to be painted in a beige color, so it's not bare metal (you can see that when the grey paint is scratched off, there is a yellow primer visible underneath). So up to spraying them again Here are the first pic's how it will look. Simulated some wear and teare of the fod guard going up and down, and where the protective cover is placed during parking. Finally a close up Body color is yet to be applied (after glueing the hull together, some time) Thanks for looking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
