IPMS19 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 - The weather is quieter for a while so , the photos can be taken ib the openb at last -One of the main mistake of the Trumpeter kit is the bad shape of the rear fuselage. The first photo show the kit OOB This one is the real thing now the KZ About Begemot decals ,the Su 24 sheets are wonderful and I couldn't resist to the sharkmouth. The transfer is very large and so, difficult to settle around the nose gear well, door and nose both side probes. The instruction sheet says nothing about this . I've been obliged to resort on a hand painting job I cannot do better unforetunatly. notice the forgotten masking tape on the laser range finder and on landing lights; THe weathering is very heavy according to Begemot but Ididn't know to what extent I may have been heavy handed 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 That's a nice grubby looking Fencer you have there - well done! Useful reference pics too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dot Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Superb model but I personally don't like the shark mouth. Itlooks too big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti_K Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Hello IPMS19! A beautiful Fencer! Well done! I especially like the "washed" look of the white paint. Did I saw correctly that you have also painted those small circular windows on the MAK globe; it really takes ability to concentrate. Nice touch is also that anti flash curtain on top of the instrument panel. I think that your weathering is very good. Fencers belonging to an operational regiment are usually very dirty and well weathered. Certainly not over weathered. Those small free fall bombs look ancient, don't they? Best Regards, Antti 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Regards, Antti - Quittos Antti - All the bombs are from Su 24 box, the smallest are AB 100, the medium size are AB 250 and the larger ones on the wing gloves are FAB 500, they effectivly looks like WWII vintage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesixfive Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Great looking Fencer mate. Regarding the decals. It is possible only certain decal softeners will work with Begemot. Might be worth asking them if they recommend a brand of softener for future reference. FSM did a useful article about twenty years ago on which decal solution works with kit box decals and aftermarket decal ranges. I might suggest to them they update it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman2 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Good build, and it turned out nice.the real aircraft had a shabby finnish, you have done it well on your Cy-24. Net Photo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film of Begemot decals is very thin and doesn't need any softener. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Net Photo - I should have like to get this photo much sooner. The Begemot instruction sheet is not very precise on this step but it is said that the nose art had been washed out before a major serviceing , so I will say that my model is shown during this process.........

Muzz Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Great looking Fencer, a lot of effort gone into it with all the KZ parts. I like the bomb load, is the photo of the kit in the Ukrainian scheme you're build as well? If so wondered how you compare the builds with and without the KZ parts versus the end result? (Not including the exhaust area which as you've already shown is a clear improvement!) Muzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz -Hi Muzz - The Ukrainian is mine too, I've posted it in the course of 2015 I think -The other main advantage of KZ kit is the nose -Had the canopy in resin been available it could have been another great bonus but now all the glazing are in vacu and it don't worth it , I have used the kit ones with a Neomega cockpit which fit perfectly in the noze. - The intakes are not mandatory as the holes of the correct pattern are not deep enought this render them hidden by the painting process. - The wheels are very good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She looks terrific in the sun. Real like 'em decals ya chose as well. Congratulations on a job very well done! Awesome piccy that magman2 has shared, by 'em way. Me's still got to produce a kit to go with 'em Komplekt Zip resin bits, but was wonderin' 'bout 'em underwing pylons; are they movable? Say, whut happened to 'em starboard engine shroud on this piccy below? Did it break accidentally or was it Sir Tom...? (in which case ---->) Quite an inspiration for anyone buildin' 'em Fencer kit, JM. Thanks a lot, my mate. Cheers, Unc2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Unc2 - Hi my dear Uncle, - I wish you get your transkit and enough time to built your kit, the KZ is really a must,it could have been still better had the structure line engraved more deeply, the resin is rather hard and render an regraving difficult. - I didn't notice that speckle on the exhaust, it just a very small piece of masking paper left there and magnified by the photo - For the wing pylons the wing ones were made movable following the angle of sweep . - About Sir Tom he has to earn his fooding, so he has to watch for the possible ennemies coming... - Just a few words to gives you water at the mouth.....my next building is an Su 34 Fullback.....
