paulsbrown Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Here's my HB Su-34 modified to be the Su-32, second prototype 43 Blue T10V-2. I always liked the color scheme. It's about 99% finished, still some panel lines and small weathering things to do. This more or less involved a reshaped nose, reshaped tail sting with some bumps, Su-30 front wheels and mudguard, scratchbuilt ladder, a slightly modified Su-15 pitot tube and the proper antennas and sensors. Lots of plumbing for the landing gear and Armory rear wheels. I have the Polygon Su-34 book which has a lot of walkaround closeup photos of 43 Blue's details and it's different camouflage which was invaluable. I had few fit issues, not sure if I ever used filler. Paint was Akan and mixed myself. I'm looking forward to doing some production Su-34 versions with the Kittyhawk whenever it comes out but I wouldn't rule out doing another Hobbyboss, perhaps the brighter "Greenbottle Fly" 45 White T10V-5 that I saw at Farnborough years ago.

Joeltc Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Oh wow that is gorgeous! Its good to know with a little work you can reshape the nose so it looks acceptable. Almost makes me want to get one but I'll wait until I see some reviews of the Kittyhawk one when that comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirageiv Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 That is a beauty, my favourite SU-32/34 camo, perfectly executed, wonderfully smart finish too! Funny how the dark blue looks so different in the last two pics! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulsbrown Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Thanks to you all! Regarding the color I was disappointed to find out that the photos in the snow were inaccurate because of the color photography as I really liked that scheme a lot. But the dark grey was much more 'Flanker like' blue grey as better walkaround photos from that same snow shoot in the Polygon Su-34 book revealed. As exdraken correctly pointed out there was some respray later with the modifications (new cone on the stinger, new pitot, mudguard and ladder) but the colors seemed to stay the same. Yefim Gordon's Famous Russian Aircraft series Su-27 has the snow shoot and much better, more recent color photos of the prototype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
