Hello, I just finished this model. It was quite easy to put together, but unfortunately it doesn't provide for retracted gears. Is this normal with Trumpeter? I had to do a bit of cutting and filling to display this model in flight. Being my first Trumpeter kit,I like the colourful instructions, but I wish there were proper dedicated acrylic colours for Russian jets. I had to try mixing colours to get what I thought might be correct colours. I like the weapon selection they provide. I wanted to go for live weapons, so I hope the colours I used are correct, I made the intake missiles detachable so the model can rest on the pylons if I can't get a proper stand for it. Also, I didn't like the shark decals, so I left them out. Other than that, the markings are quite simplistic. Definitely not as flashy as USN CAG birds. Not being familiar with Russian aircraft, I've developed a new fondness to the Su-27 and certainly looks pretty cool Anyway, here are the pics. Magnets only on intake missiles and railings allowing them to become detachable:

Wow! I've never seen anyone actually build up one of those idol master aircraft!

Hi, I'm definitely at a loss for words as to how good this is. How did you do the firing rockets, if I may ask?

Thanks guys, I was really hoping for something straight forward, but I just couldn't live with those colours. Not to mention, the colours suggested by Hasegawa for this model seems pretty wrong. For starters, they suggest colour H307 (FS36320) for the fuselage. I was very fortunate to find a better match for colours on this site.

Hello, New member here. I like how so many people show pics of their builds here. So here's my contribution. Here's my latest build, wasn't a fan of the Eurofighter, but decided to give it a go. When I opened the kit, I noticed the decals were not like the box photo. infact, I found the colour of blue used on the tail was too 'purple' compared to photos of the real bird. Decals : Note the purplish colour of the tail The real bird So I decided to try painting the background colour myself and cut out the bits and pieces of the Tail art. Here is the tail with the cut out decals applied and here's the final product This kit was a pretty nice kit. It comes with a lot of weapons including AIM-120, Meteor, IRIS-T, ASRAAM, Brimstone missiles, ALARM missiles and a few cruise missiles. Though as this is a show birds, I'm just going to put 2 IRIS-T missiles. I like the luftwaffe colours for the Eurofighter, so I'll probably do a normal Luftwaffe bird as well.
