robert26 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hi Heres my Eduard 1:48 Su-7MK, Indian Air force, No.32 Squadron, 1982. I used Quickboost air intakes and vents, which were an excellent fit. Paints used were Vallejo. This was a usual struggle with trying to hold on to tiny etched parts-but finish looks great in cockpit-especially seatbelts and consoles. Resin seat is a work of art. Didnt arm the Fitter as weapons and tanks were not moulded very well. Cheers Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitkruncher Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Really great stuff Robert. Is the striping decal or did you mask it up? Either way a really excellent job on this Cold War brute. What paints did you use if I may? Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitkruncher Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Duh! Didn't read you post right - Vallejo paints - huh. I've tried these for armour but not used them on aircraft yet. Looks like they produce a lovely result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert26 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi Folks Thanks for the positive feedback. I did the masking with Tamiya tape. Great stuff-no paint bleed thru and nice straight lines Cheers Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike DeTorrice Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 This is a great-looking Sukhoi fighter/bomber ! The color scheme is a real eye-catcher and the plane has been finished and detailed beautifully. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitkruncher Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi Robert Incidentally if you wanted to add some weapons Aerobonus (by Aires) are doing some really nice Soviet kit. I just got hold of some UB-16-57 Rocket launchers for my SU-25 - they are lovely. I'll be going this way again on my Russian aircraft Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert26 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi Folks Talking about weapons-im not sure but i thought i read somewhere that Indian airforce and Pakistani combat aircraft carried nuclear weapons on pylons. Does anyone have any links/photos with the Fitter carrying this type of weapon. Also i havent asked, but why this type of marking on the tail? Cheers Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Robert Indian retired these in 1986, before the introduction of air transportable nuclear bombs. IAF fighters carried mainy strange schemes to improve visaibility in air combat exercises.
