RMCS Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 What a kit by Kinetic. Usually over engineered and far too complicated this kit is sublime. With superb detail at every level and great decal options you cannot go wrong! The only let down with this kit are the instructions. They are poorly printed and leave you guessing on some stages! This is an out of the box build with the only addition being the eduard cockpit set. The paints are Hakata blue line Russian ST set and Vallejo and MIG metal paints. The base is Coastal kits display bases Admiral Kustinovof's deck.. 47
mcdonnell Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Hello,RMCS - What can I say? This ‘Flanker’ is totally exquisite in every respect. 😉👍 All the best,Paul.
F4u Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Great looking 'Flanker, lovely paint work and the tail pipes really are realistic . Guy 1
SimonT Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 That is lovely, awesome job on that. Looks like the main landing gear needs reinforcing though.
ScottC Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Nice Sea Flanker, this one is on my to do list once I've done my SU-30 and SU-35 ScottC 1
exdraken Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Very nice model! What happened to flaps and main landing gear though? Hard landing or needs just more glue?

zebra Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Great job RMCS. There seem to be some great Flanker models being made at the moment! 1
russ c Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Superb Flanker there Richard, awesome job 1
Sobby_23 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Stunning, and a really great finish too. The detail pops out really well too. 1
mostrich Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Funny that you're mentioning the instructions as the only letdown of the kit. Actually they're the only part made by Kinetic. The whole kit development was made by 'Aviation Art', but due to some problems with their partners, Kinetic ended up producing the kit. Your definitions of the kit looks splendid. Great paintwork, especially the heat stains on the burner cans. Also the fading of the camo looks just right. What a pity that this beautiful plane had such a short period of service. 1
corsaircorp Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Very nice Flanker ! Must try one of these big beast ... one day ! You did great, Congratulations ! Sincerely. Corsaircorp 1
gazza l Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Beautiful job, excellent weathering, particularly on the burners. I can't wait to do mine now. gazza l 1
Barrie Durrant Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Wow!......what a stunning build, such an amazing job you've done. I love the pictures, especially the front-on view. Makes me want to build one, right now!....if only my skills were 1/10 of yours. Barrie 1
M.dart Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Fantastic! I love your job and the work done on the camo! m.
85sqn Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Gorgeous mate, look forward to seeing t in the flesh!
brodiebear Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 wow thats great. glad you fixed the main gear, splendid paint work and weathering.
LaurieS Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 RMCS. You looked in on my Coyote, thanks, which led me here. This is, for me, the way model making should show its face to the Public. The use of artistic imagination coupled with superb building techniques. Both coupled into a very nice imaginative model. Superb. Taking a chance no PE. who needs that with the result here. PS downing all PE just not needed here. Laurie
