harvy5 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) 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.

andym Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) 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?

exdraken Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 very impressive! will take note! these subtle, or actually absolutely not subtle differences in shapes alone make this hobby worthwile! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvy5 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 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 ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonehammer Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) I just saw this one. Big project don't scare ya, do they? The fuselage swap is 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.

exdraken Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) hello,, cool! please don't forget to do something about the front windscreen inclination! it is totally straight in the kit! Edited December 16, 2014 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 ... I know about it, but now I do not know how to fix it ... 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) by the way, I should take photos of the finished and armed aircraft one day!!!

harvy5 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 ... a few little things. Wings have the right shape and size. I started to work on the main gear bays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvy5 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 hello,, cool! please don't forget to do something about the front windscreen inclination! it is totally straight in the kit! 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 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 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.

harvy5 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) ... again little progress. Modified elevators and fuselage in the place of attachment. Problem with inclination windscreen I removed. Sanding and Evergreen are good helpers. Edited December 20, 2014 by harvy5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
