Fishbone Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Another 'What-if' themed project which adapted from Trumpeter's 1/72 Sukhoi Su-30MKK Flanker G, it'll be painted into IDF Air Force 3-colors camo with The 253 Negev Squadron marking (ותיקי טייסת 253). The marking will be hijack from Kineticmodel's F16I SUFA since the generous Kinetic provided two marking option for the SUFA. I'll use the stock decals from Trumpeter for the stencils. Trumpeter kit, IDF weapons from SkunkModels workshop, TVC nozzle from Naza Model Art, ground crew/pilots from Revell NATO pilot pack, no PE use in this build, 99% OOB with very minor modification. THE END. Thank you for dropping by, cheers! 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TME3 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I really like a good "whif" build... and you nailed it..! Very convincing, great job...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I have to say that the IDF scheme really suits this beast. Ever thought of sending a certain Mr Putin, c/o The Kremlin, a few pics?? If it happens they may let you have a sales commission!?! Great work and a great looking model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squibby Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Great work and a really nice imaginative scheme. Only small point I'd make is that those chunky looking missiles underneath the nacelles look dangerously close to the tarmac Then again rule of cool wins out here, and they certainly look incredibly cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich G Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Amazing work, just goes to show that you can achieve straight from the box with some patience and hard work! I think the IDF colour scheme really works on the Sukhoi! Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve4536 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Top notch and very skillfully put together. The patch of grass could do with a little watering to make the whole thing perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobby_23 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Not usually a fan of what-if builds, but this is fantastic. The paint finish is superb, particularly the exhausts and the gun vents. Really like the way you've done the weathering and the panel lines. Although they are a little uniform for my liking, the fading really makes the model come to life for me! This kit is going to be my Christmas build, if I can come anywhere close to this I will be more than happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, this is my w.i.p. album on Facebook where i record down everything from the beginning. I hope some of the w.i.p. photos/info can help a little during your build! https://m.facebook.com/Fishbone.Kitti/albums/10211021835245821/?ref=bookmarks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
