Ukrainian Su-25 Frogfoot

Thanks chaps.

Looking good!

What about boomy bits? Tempted by any of the ton of resin bits available?

I'm planning on some S-25 OFM Rockets from the Trumpeter Su-24 kit and some Eduard Brassin Fab-250 bombs, this is what the end result should look like..............

Nice. Don't forget the chocks! Hannants has some in for £2:95 recently.

Looking very nice.

How did you find the authentic decals?. I tried them once and found them to be extremely fragile, and a friend had a similar experience, after our experiences, I've never used them since, but would like to build the Ukrainian digital schemes on the frogfoot and flanker one day.

Certainly no issues with them being fragile Ryan, if anything they were a wee bit on the thick side which has caused them to split in places where they had to conform to ackward shapes but it's not a big issue. I plan on doing another digital scheme on maybe a Mig-29 and wouldn't be put off getting them.

Now that you have said that, I should dig the decal sheet out and have a closer look at it. 

 

The sheet i had had trouble with was an earlier Su-25 sheet, the sheet my friend had trouble with was their Tu-95 sheet.
