1/48 Hobbyboss Su-34 Fullback.

[DaveJL]

Hello all,

 

Here is my recently completed 1/48 Hobbyboss Su-34 Fullback. The build thread is here

 

The build was not easy with numerous few fit issues and there were times when I lost interest in it, but in the end I'm relatively happy with the result. Extras used included a host of Cold War Studio upgrade sets - nose cone, tail boom with APU (both of which are essential aftermarket items) and etch for the gun vents. Along with these CWS items, I used Pavla resin seats, Kokopelli Scale Designs 3D printed FOD inserts and TwoBobs decals. Paints were Akan.

 

I also added the curved 'fillets' that join the ECM pods on the wingtips to the wings with some filler and used rolled up cigarette papers to replicate the anti flash blinds seen on the canopy.

 

 

Thanks for looking.

They really are and evil looking beasite.

 

Nice work and captures the look perfectly.

Thanks chaps.

Cracking build Dave and in the sinister looking 'eggshell' colours too which best compliment this machine. Love it !

I don't see many of these built. That CWS stuff looks worth the purchase. Nice result!

Thanks Duncan. It is fairly big! Seems a lot bigger than the other Flankers I've built!
