Solo Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 My Russian language is rather poor, but I can not find any words regarding Mr. Paints colours there. I believe AKAN paints have proper hues, but I think the same is with Mr. Paints, and also I like to use it, because there are as excellent as Gunze or Tamiya products.

I agree with you, but it's companies not manufactures soviet (russian) colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 That is true, that is why I am talking about Mr. Paint. This company manufactures many colours designed for models of russian jets and I do believe that their colours for Su-33 are really proper ones.

colin Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Superb model. Can't belive how the thread has got hijacked into whos' paints are the best, and taking away from what is a really stunning build and finish, it's not even that much of a problem in my eyes, they look close enough to me compaired with the photos 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrianm2 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 A great build Solo. I would love to see a WIP of yours to learn to achieve the metallic effect in the exhaust... it is superb. ...I thin is important to keep in mind -when it comes to colours- that what Solo is seeing in front of him is different to what his camera is capturing and is different to what I`m seeing in my screen and is different to what Igor (IGKent) is seeing in his screen and is different to what... You get it... ... as modellers We have to be careful when we pick on the colours and even more careful when we pick on the shades... display settings are evil... My 2p Top modelling there mate.

Solo Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Regarding the engine exhausts (engine cowlings were more complicated to paint), you can find everything step by step in my work in progres here: I used white metallic base, oil paints, some hot metal Alclads and jet exhaust also from Alclad. Everything were been faded to darker shades with Mr. Paint' graphite metallic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe you can say that. Too saturated colors .. But this plane was almost 20 years ago. Photographed by my father, with Su-25UTG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
