1/48 Su-33 Red 81

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.

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.

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.
