Recommended Posts

The break at work on Frogfoot, I started another project. Su-22M-3K is the export version of the Su-17M-3 with engine R-29-300 also used for the Mig-23.Differs mainly the rear fuselage and rudder.Were exported to Hungary, Peru, Libya, Vietnam, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan.
Since I am lazy, I used the rear fuselage of the model Su-7 OEZ Letohrad.

Su-22M3K were used seat K-36DM early versions. I used therefore modified the seat from the set RESIN ART for Su-25th In this set, I used the control stick.

Excellent, someone actually doing the surgery to make a correct M-3, not just putting the wrong decals on the Eduard kit. Will watch this with interest. Also out of interest are you going to do anything about the over-thick wings?

Air brakes are OK!

I don't know yet what with wings. I'll probably make new.

After a week there's another little progress. I gave right shape the tail fin.

In the next step, I corrected the top part fuselage.

What looked like a nightmare, it was not so bad. Sanding and sanding and wing has the correct profile.

Of course it was necessary to modify certain shapes, especially landing flaps

Wings in position before take-off. Version M-3 and all previous versions Su-17/20/22 in this position using only slots.. It will be interesting ...

I just saw this one. Big project don't scare ya, do they? The fuselage swap is :speak_cool: Would have never thought of doing it this way, otlishtniy.

I too sanded the outer wings on my first Su-22, then on the second one I took a different approach: grooves on the inside of the parts and cuts on the inboard sides allowed to 'flatten' the parts to a more realistic appearance.

hello,,

cool!

please don't forget to do something about the front windscreen inclination!

it is totally straight in the kit!

... I know about it, but now I do not know how to fix it ... :hmmm: :please:

Impressive! As if there was not enough work with this one if you build it OOB... :)

and I want more, Su-22M-4 and UM-3K ... :doh:

my solution: I sanded away the plastic on the fuselage til I got a drooping attitude. surely not enough but at least the right dirction:

you know this build:

http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234934642-su-22m4-fitter-148-updates-tactical-numbers-etc/page-4?hl=su-22m4

sand away the plastic where the red lines arered

the more or less finished one with subtle drop visible (to me at least) ;)

I watched your work. I'll probably have to make a new windscreen. The main problem is bad inclination armor windscreen. Other shapes are OK

maybe I am wrong, but the main problem is the straight fuselage part where the canopy is to be placed.

it should be angled down as in your plans.

I used them to draw in red the inclination

post-564-1282989095_zpsaea68cfb.jpg

maybe we are speaking of the same thing, just in case!

manufacturing a new front canopy is definitely out of the scope of my capabilities!

let me know about your solution!

Again I looked at everything and here is the result. End of the windscreen must be increased by 1.25 mm. Blue tape on the right shows edge of the frame.

Problem with inclination windscreen I removed. Sanding and Evergreen are good helpers. :winkgrin:

After a long time, little progress.Not a KP but a new kit from Kitty Hawk.After openingĀ  box I was very happy, beautiful surface, perfect details, great progress from 25 years old KP.I started building.And then I found out , waiting to Hobby Boss.Bad shapes and angles I din't want to fix but surface bugs?
Visibly cut mold, senselessly holes.http://IMG_6204_zpsqhjkj7ih.jpghttp://IMG_6223_zpsdm2lq6lm.jpghttp://IMG_6205_zpsutvz0bpy.jpg
Dents on the surface of the details.
http://IMG_6201_zpsbnnbggeb.jpghttp://IMG_6211_zpscbzcxqfx.jpghttp://IMG_6198_zpsi0hvured.jpg

Of course,during repairs disappeared many details.
