Richard Stephens Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 hello there Well an excellent days progress...Started out with me realising that the front nose gear bay was not good enough with the injection sink marks and with an impossible task of removing them with any ease and the piece not really fitting well in the first place i decided to rebuild it from scratch (photos below). Excellent progress on the su-25 fuselage is coming together nicely and a lot of painting has been finalised. Hoping to get the front end of the f15 together tomorrow and perhaps we might see some camo of the su25....At this rate the su-25 will be finished long before my f15 photos below Enjoy!

Richard Stephens Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 hello there ok very big update. The su-25 is now fully assembled decaled and weathered waiting on final ordanance to be cleaned up.. the F15 has now had the interio fitted and the intakes seams removes as well as the canopies clear seam line. The conformal tanks have now also been added as well as filled is lightly with very minor sanding.fuselage is assembled however will post pics up for that tomorow when i have had to chance to finalise the clean up. su-25 sill has a very heavy gloss on it from the decaling and is waiting its matte coat at the end canopies are just sat in place. The rare jet cans have been modified from the kit and given some added depth as the kit ones were very poor enjoy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Stephens Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 hello there ok well the su-25 is fully complete and is ready for inspection... man does that plane carry a lot of bombs.As for the f15 after a full days masking and a fews hours spraying she has had her full paint job and assembly on the final part had begun...Again the f15 is in high gloss and my camera is bleaching the shading of the panels so hopefully get some better shots when the build is complete but not long to go now. enjoy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
