mitchem Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Okay, those of you in the know will remember that the Su-47 was a prototype that only ever appeared in black. I decided to change all of that by finishing this one in a What-if “operational” scheme. The kit was simple enough and the painting wasn’t as difficult as it looks (thanks to Artool Ultra Mask and a sharp blade). I'm afraid the build took a lot longer than it should have, but that's my fault - I'm easily distracted by the flow of new kits into my loft ! Got to admit being a bit surprised with the size of the blighter – it’s a little bit bigger than the Su-27. Here are a few more pics taken at a lower angle Kit : 1/72 by Hobbysboss Decals : Borrowed off Begemot sheets for Su-27s Seat : K36-DM by Neomega Paints : White Ensign Comments welcome mike 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thankyousam Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 How do you go about masking up all those sharp angles and getting nice crisp edges where 3 colours meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMChladek Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I love the camo patterns on this one! The Berkut looks great in three tone camo to my eye. Nice clean build too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 old thread, but still lovely model! great splinter work! the Berkut is a strange, but still fascinating plane! sad that it did not fly more...... but then the MiG-1.44 hardly did at all..
