KoenL Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I don't claim to be any sort of weapons expert but are you sure the Bulgarians even use the Kh-25? I know they do use the Kh-29. To answer my own question: http://www.bgspotters.net/pictures/pic.php?subm=3&oprt=2&form_PicId=23670 and a bonuspic of the Kh-29 http://www.bgspotters.net/pictures/pic.php?subm=3&oprt=2&form_PicId=23671 Don't see any pics of twoseaters carrying them though, just fueltanks and these http://www.bgspotters.net/pictures/pic.php?subm=3&oprt=2&form_PicId=14058 http://www.bgspotters.net/pictures/pic.php?subm=3&oprt=2&form_PicId=2528 1

Like you I have only found pics with them carrying rocket pods and free fall bombs, I'm going with the theory that it's possible! Thanks for all the comments, still plodding along with the stencils! 1
harvy5 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Su-25 and UB can carry Kh-25ML(6 pieces). But must be using an adapter APU-68-II than the rocket S-24. Not be used on racks 5 and 7. 1
Muzz Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Finally some time to post an update, I've managed to finish the rest of the decal stencils, not sure if they'll be strictly accurate for a Bulgarian airframe but I've just gone by the kit instructions............. With the decals done I needed to tone everything done so went over areas with some Tamiya smoke and then a light thinned done covering of the base camo colour. After this was down I applied a flat coat using Alclads Flat Kote, still needs bits sorted where I've overcooked it a little but I'm happy how its turning out.... 6
Tomjw Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 The toning down has worked very well. The finish line is looming into view... Cheers, Tom.
HOUSTON Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Muzz.. I have been following this AMAZING build. Simply SUPER workmanship. . ROCK ON !!!! just keep doing what you are doing.
Muzz Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks again for the comments and encouragement. Been a few days since any update so here's where I'm up to, basically adding the undercarriage, pylons and bits n bobs............... The nose gear attached, I drilled out the slots in the mud guard although you cnt see it in this pic, also added couple of bits of detail to the leg itself. The main gear, some pipes added to busy them up. Pylons on, still to add the sway braces. Got the metal area around the cannon painted using Mr Metal Color and the front probes are attached. Possibly finished tonight if not tomorrow me thinks! 3
Alan P Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Great job. Really like what you've done with this kit.
Muzz Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 A long time since my last update...............................but its done! More pics up in RFI.
