paulsbrown Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Here's another one that was started years ago and put back in the box due to a big move. It's an awesome kit, only one of this scale and not without challenges. It is all OOB as the kit contains all you need; one piece fiberglass fuselage, resin parts, full intakes, metal reinforced landing gear, photo etch, vac formed canopy and a great decal sheet with all the stencils. The build had a quite a few disasters in the final stages, I had to replace the canopy (luckily HpH provide 2) and it's a little rough up close but it looks ok from a distance. Now I'll have to wait for a mainstream kit so I can do a production version with that all flaps, engines drooped gangster look. 55 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 That looks great and I wish my "rough" work was even half as good as that! The engine areas and exhausts are particularly impressive. Well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made them this way after spending far too much building time collecting reference photos off the internet and from magazines. I used photos like this And after making the overall copper like coverage used Micron masking tape to start to make the patterns And then some more And then applied washes and scumbles to give it more sheen and depth. I noticed the Su-35s have the same kind of patterns and did the same thing on my first Su-35. I think with 1/48 scale Flankers it takes the same amount of time to do the engine painting as the overall camouflage! My current build has the strange blue thing going on top and bottom- 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstorin Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Man, that's amazing work on the engine areas. Someone (hint) needs to write a LONG how-to one making those effects and others. I have spent a lot of time trying and failing to get these areas up to your standards. Well done Sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 - I missed this one for an imperative reason ,Telford SMW , It is one of my favorite aircraft still on the work bench and still working on it I think I will consider it more seriously thanks to your very inspiring building . Well done Sir..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hat's off to you and look forward to it being finished. Have you seen the recent AKAN colors for the digital versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
