Jabba Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 I have now applied the decals. I have only applied the national markings and Ser No as I am not sure of the quality of the kit stencil decals, plus there was a lot of them which I just did not want to apply. In the late 1980s the IrAF changed the Ser No of the Su-20/22 fleet from a 4 to a 5 number. So because I making an aircraft from 1991 I decided to do a bit of cut and shunting with the numbers on the Iraqi Fighters decal sheet, with numbers roughly the correct size. From the information that I can get from the Iraqi Fighters book, this aircraft was flown to Iran in 1991. A matt varnish is being applied as we speak, and will concentrate on the U/C during the coming week, and hopefully have this finished towards the end of the week. Due to the change in Photobuckets policy I will not be replacing the previous photos in the building of the this model, sorry if this disappoints a few people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a possibility as I am already using another provider which I am still getting used to, it will just depend on how much time that I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thanks for your replies. A small update, in that the U/C is now fitted and the model stands on its own legs. I will have fun fitting he main U/C doors as there seems to be no positive location on the parts and the instructions just point in vague directions as to how they are fitted. n the last photo is something that arrived from a place in East Anglia today as the kit probes are not that good. I don't know how I will get on with this as I have never used these before and I have fingers like pigs teats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All previous piccies now posted. I had a play with the new probes, and it was not as bad as I thought that it was going to be. They are now stuck on and being painted. This was not with the main U/C doors. As there was no positive location, and they have to go in a specific places I thought that this was not well done by the manufacturer, and it is one of the few things that I would ask them to improve upon but as they have now made several different versions of this kit I doubt that it will happen, and yes I do have a few of these other kits to do so I will have to find a better way of fitting these parts. Some photos below. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also good to see that the U/C doors are now in place and looking fine. This model will look smashing when finished. Cheers, Peter PS.
