rom1 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Hello Here are some pictures of my Kinetic Su-33 built in 2016 for french Cocardes Magazine issue n°5. The build took me around 7 months, as I spent a lot of time on painting and decaling. Weathering is subtle as I wanted to depict a quite clean and bright rendering. I chose to set a full load as seen on some pictures on the ground, but it is not that common. I found the kit quite good. Just had a trouble on the nose fit. The most annoying was the poor instructions... Not easy to understand and succession of building step are quite disturbing. Fortunately, Kinetic shared updated instructions here: http://www.kineticmodel.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=64&search=48062 While no seatbelts were given in the box, I replaced the seat with Aires resin one. Pitot is from master. Decals from Begemot (Su-33 and flanker stencils) As some pylons are missing in the box, I added those from Eduard brassin. And More R-27 missile come from GWH Fulcrum. Comments and question welcomed! Romain 45 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Love it, the burner cans and bare metal engine area’s stand out for me, what paints did you use for this? I have one in the stash and have been looking at it recently with a view to starting, the instructions do look hastily cobbled together.

redcap Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Magnificent SU-33 and this is the best example I have seen built to date Romain. Thank you also for the link to the instructions which I have just printed off - MUCH better than those supplied with the original kit.

NazarovVladimir Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Excellent model. By the colors I already said on the ARC, they should be slightly muted http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31266&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
