Hi guys, Greetings, In the year 1997 SB-001, from the first batch of eight Su-30MK-1 aircraft (SB 001 to SB 008) delivered in March to the IAFs No 24 Squadron (Hawks), based at Lohegaon AFS. Later on, these aircraft would be returned to Russian and IAF will switch to Su-30MKI with improved avionics and TVC engines. For my version, I used Heller Su-27UB, the fit is very bad and needs a ton of filling and sanding plus need to dry-fit many times. The cockpit need some modifications but the most visible one was HUD which wasn't there so I scratch built with some clear part. The next and biggest challenge was shifting the IRST from center to right side, I sanded the whole IRST I was worried I would crack the canopy but luckily it didn't and with sprue, I built the IRST. For the painting I used local acrylic colors and Tamiya paints and spend some time painting the exhaust not the best but am quite happy with it. So here it is, The first SU-30MK-1 of India, thank you looking cheers. with KH-31 *without Kh-31 Size comparison of Folland Gnat and Su-30MK-1 -
Well having failed to complete my Bomber Command GB Lancaster within the deadline I now give myself the challenge of 2 builds in one GB!! First cock-up: I've realised that my cunning plan of doing 2 x 1/48th builds has been undermined already - that'll teach me to concentrate when ordering. Anyway here we go with the first build: a 1/72nd Su-30 of the Ugandan Air Force made from the Trumpeter kit The Kit: The Contents (well some of them): The Decals: And this is what I am aiming for (copyright:Tarmac Images):
