rom1 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hello Micro update with the work on the wings. You have to plug wing extensions. very curious that the contact do not follow a panel line.KH offers a very interesting crenel like fit. It will need some CA glue and putty: Moreover, the plug is thicker than the wing.Sanding needed... Then, we got heat shrink on the external surfaces: So... putty: And sanding: Cheers Romain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetzer123 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hello Romian, Russian aircrafts are not perfect. Why should this kit be ☺️ Good job 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rom1 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hello Small update My friend raphael did an amazing job correcting the exhausts.He shortened the outer petals and detailed the inner ones. Outer petals: Inner Petals: Cutting of the support: You have to remove the plastic ring: I find the parts very convincing.Cant wait to paint them to reveal the details. I also filled the huge trenches at the fin bases: Cheers! Romain 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rom1 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi ! I couldnt resist to buy the impressive barracuda's exhausts. It is truly impressive detailled resin parts. So, then I couldnt resit to chop of the parts from their blocks, and to do dry fit testing. Sadly, I had to remove the Afterburner ducts because it does not fit with Barracuda exhauts. It was tricky but I finaly managed to extract them. After some triming, I could have pu the resin on the Foxbat: I hope to be able to continue this build soon!

SimonR2800 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I can't wait to see this model completed. The Foxbat is definitely my favourite Russian military jet. Good luck with the rest of the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Uncool Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Wow, Rom! Howdy? Say, whut's with 'em Barracuda ducts, mate? No way they will fit the Kitty Hawk kit? Strange! Or is it that ya fitted just the Barracuda exhausts to the kit's ducts instead? Nay likely. Cheers, Unc2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rom1 Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hi! Uncle, the barracuda exhausts go to far in the rear fuselage. It hits against Kittyhawks AB ducts. I had to remove them with a little help of violence Cheers Romain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffajake Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 That's going to look the business once the primer is on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rom1 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hello I sprayed Alclad grey primer on the whole aircraft. The coat was a bit rough so I sanded it smooth wit fine abrasive sponge. Seams reappeared at the wingtip junctions. I had to sand it again... Next, I sprayed Alclad gloss black primer on the future metallic areas. After primer is full dry, black coat is polished with Micromesh abrasives clothes. I used grades 6000 8000 and 12000: Surfaces are very smooth and shiny!
