exdraken Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Finished some time ago, after a very long and exhausting build! Academy Su-27 UB Flanker Quickboost nosecone!!! Neomega cockpit, Linden Hill decals "Flankers on Patrol", various missiles, Modified Dream Model + Aires exhausts Here you are: Cool and realisticly looking exhausts.... (Aries are too small, Dream Model too big... so I ,odified both sets to make one pair of nozzles) Hope you like it! One last photo: Cheers, Werner Edited November 10, 2012 by exdraken 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeg Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Love the slightly faded camo work. I would love to try and get that finish whenever it comes to getting my flanker out the stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi noeyedears, I used several paints, mainly white ensign models flanker colors + extra color X601 Flanker medium blue, some light grey and white added for fading http://www.whiteensi....htm#MOD SOVIET I don't know exactly about the aires cans, but I think their feathers are too rounded and the whole nozzle taper too much. At least my examples also don't match in diameter with the fuslage. maybe just mine.. (resin shrinkage?) I just prefered the look of the Dream Models version, although it brought its own problems! Thanks for your interest, looking forward to your flanker! cheers Edited November 4, 2012 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 I want to elaborate more about the nozzle /cans of the Su-27 Al-31 engine: here a comparison with Trumpeters J-10 nozzle, which "should" be the same size... more detail, unfortunatly some are quite horribly painted... but you an see the Aires petal detail to be more rounded. size problem I found withe the aires cans: and now finally my adapted dream model version on the Su-27, probably just too big, compared to the other offerings: I am really looking forward to the new offering from Dream Model, which is announced for some time now and should not need this adaptation measures... and there is also a new offering from Northstar Models http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234928068&hl= Thanks for looking, exdraken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noeyedears Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Northstar stuff looks mental 8-) i may have to try it. i saw a build using them which said they are a pain to fit though ;-( Just to be sure are you saying the 1/48 nozzles are wrong or the 1/32?

Hi, I just built the ones in 1/48, you can see the differences in my photos above. Wrong or right is always difficult to determine Not fitting is the better description. a pain to build thess pe nozzles but worth the effort imho Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
