Marlin Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Hi. I've got it !!!!001 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr And my local dealer managed to supply me with one of the 2999 of the first press. So I got the bonus tinted canopy sprue.002 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr This is what the box contains.003 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr004 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr007 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr008 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr009 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr010 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr011 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr012 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr013 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr014 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr015 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr016 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr This is what I'll entertain myself with for the coming months. And with the Icehockey World Championship on the TV tonight, I'll start at once with some primer on a large number of parts. I'll use AKAN's acrylics on this aircraft, brushpainted as always.

Marlin Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Help! Which AKAN paint is correct for the wheel wells? /Bosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hi, Muzz was kind to answer in my new colour thread about the Su-35, so that is now sorted, thanks again Muzz. But I'm sure I'll return to that thread to find out more abbout the right AKAN paints for the different parts on this aircraft. I've discovered some small seams on the missiles that I have to clean up before painting them.017 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Not much, but they'll show when painted if not removed before. I've also started to paint the cockpit parts.018 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr AKAN #73069, Sukhoi blue/grey, the right cockpitcolour straight from the bottle. Today I'm planing on continuing with the cockpit, wheel wells, air ducts, and other bits. I'll also have some missiles to clean up, but that I can do infront of the tv during tonights hockeygame in the World Championsship.

Marlin Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Thanks Matteo. 😀 I don't have space for an airbrushing box. And besides this, I like to brush paint. /Bosse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Uncool Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Well, certainly, my good mate in beautiful Sweden; I've just seen how neat your surgeries are carried out on yer builds, that I can only wonder how good your skills would be if you had an airbrush at hand to paint your rather - expensive - kits with. It's much like what I feel whenever I watch at one of my completed builds sitting in the display case after I've finished the same kit with the new aftermarket correction sets available to it. I'm sure even little Axel would benefit from having an airbrush at hand. Think about it, Bosse - you're one hell of a good modeller - the only thing I can think of that would better your work as a modeller would be your getting an airbrush. Then, you've got the skills, the quid and the patience on your side. With all due respect, my bruh; but whenever I think of your having gotten the AMK Foxhound to brushpaint it, I'm like...

Marlin Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Well, as I've said earlier. I don't have the space for an airbrush set up, so let's just leave it at that. I might better my painting skills with a airbrush or I might not. But I've been brush painting for over 40 years, and I like it. I left ARC because all the small little hints about an airbrush. I don't like to have to leave this site as well........ /Bosse 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlin Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 No problem Unc, I'm not about to leave. I just find it funny that the general rules should be an airbrush for painting. I don't think Leonardo Da Vinci used one, but I guess he might, had he had the chance. /Bosse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hi. What a fantastic weekend we've had in our cottage this weekend. Summer temperatures of over +25C and no rain the whole weekend. Of course we had to have a barbeque.005 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr My wife planted some geraniums in our garden.007 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr I awarded her the Recycling Award of 2018. Why throw away an almost new barbeque just because you don't want it anymore? Axel and I felt that we could also do something, so we built a deck chair from recycled wood.006 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr It'll be painted in the same colour we used on the one we built last year.Stol 2017 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr So don't throw away wood pallets, make something new and useful of them instead. Well even a fantastic weekend comes to an end and it was time to go home again. When I got home I continued on the ordnance for the Su-35. I've cleaned up all seams now, and they're ready for some primer.019 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr020 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr To be continued.... /Bosse 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hi, We're in a bit of a heatwave here in Sweden with temperatures over +25C. But don't think the heat has stopped me from working on my Su-35. I've been looking for the right colours to paint all the small bits that will go in the wheel wells, and glueing some sub sections.021 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr The small bits are just about ready to for glueing in place. 022 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr023 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr The ejection seat is almost complete. 024 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr The cockpit is taking shape. 025 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr I've painted the fuel lines in the wells. 026 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr The missiles have been sprayed white from a spray can. I do this on the balcony, because I can't spray indoors. 027 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr I've glued the fins together, and the wheels are waiting for some paint. 028 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr029 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr 030 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr The engine nacelles and air channels have been painted on the inside. 031 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr The engine fans and exhaust have also been painted. And there is where I'm today. Now the plan is to get these subsections inside the fuselage during the next couple of days.

Marlin Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hi. I've done the main wheel bays now.032 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr033 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr I really like the piping and plumbing plastic parts. I'm trying to use AKAN colours as much as I can, but I don't have them all so some Humbrol colours have also been used. 034 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Only dry fitted, looks very promising. 035 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Glued and clamped. I think I'll have the nose gear well and the intake channels done before the weekend. To be continued..... /Bosse 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hi. Yesterday I continued with the fans and intakes.036 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr 037 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr The fan looks nice, and it's a two part piece. 038 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr But I guess not much will be seen when all parts are put togehter. 039 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Both subsections was then glued in place in their respective gondola. And that was what I had time for yesterday. To be continued..... /Bosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done some more subsections. 040 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr041 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Nose gear well with cabling. 042 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr The radar parts, I've not deceided yet if I'm going to use them or not. 043 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr I glued the slats together, mostly because they were the only parts left on that sprue. 044 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Exhausts, a four piece job each. 045 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr I've glued the nosegear well in place. 046 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr The intakes are ready for some paint. And with that it's almost time to glue everything together. To be continued..... /Bosse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
