1/48 Su-30MK2, Venezuelan Air Force


Recommended Posts

Hello all, 

 

Here is my recently completed 1/48 Hobbyboss Su-30MKK Flanker, marked as an MK2 of the Venezuelan Air Force. The build thread is here

 

Extras used included Wolfpack Designs K-36 ejection seats, Caracal decals, Master pitot tube, Eduard Brassin OFAB-250 bombs and Quickboost intake covers (modified F-14 examples).

 

Overall the Hobbyboss kit is decent, with some lovely details, but a few niggling points, but nothing major.

turned out great!

 

:partytime:

 

love your weapons and camo work!

 

 

 

thanks for showing them along each other!

 

the fins stand out of being different in shape, no?

 

what about size? is the difference very obvious  in real life`?

Thanks mate.

 

As for the fins, i've no idea! The fins on the Academy kits are from Wolfpack Design. I didn't really pay that much attention to the Hobbyboss ones or compare them!

Wow - very nice! I really love to see these Su-30MK's built, I think the two-seaters are the best looking Flankers ever.

I hope you liked the decals and found them easy to use.

 

PS: I hope you can fit an FB-111A in your 2018 build schedule - it would be great to see a Dark Vark built by you using the upcoming sheet due in March.
