Ignacio Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi fellow modellers! This is my first post here. For now, I only have pictures of my models finished, so it´s a kind of introduction for me. This is the old heller Su-27 UB. The kit has many fit problems, but overall is very accurate and represents well the shape and dimensions of the Flanker. I tried to make a faded look and I think the result was convincing. the only aftermarket were resin K-36 seats and metal pitot tube. I hope you like it, It was a fun build! Any commentaries and critics are welcomed!!! Best regards from Uruguay! Ignacio 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Excellent build and painting, my friend! I would be pleased to make models that look half as good as this one. Welcome to the forum. I hope that you enjoy using the site as much as I do. Cheers. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathasatail Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Cracking model there! A better first build on this forum than I could ever hope to produce (although now I have an airbursh I can certainly try and aspire to such greatness!)

Ignacio Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I had my thoughts when I saw the first picture.....how wrong was I. Absolute stunner! Dave Haha Dave, that picture is silly, isn´t it? It was a technique of pre-shading that I saw on internet on a F-14 Tomcat. The different colours give different shades on the final blues of the camuflage. It´s my version of "Fifty shades of..." I really thank all your comments!!!
