Serkan Sen Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Since long time I was waiting for Zvezda's new Su-27UB kit (7294) for one of my ongoing Flanker projects namely Su-35UB. The main idea is to merge Zvezda's Su-33 and Su-27UB kits. Next I will add some pictures of my work in progress.

I mean Su-33 🙂 Also I have slightly changed the project name to Su-35UB as I have almost all necessary modified parts from my ongoing Su-27M (T-10M) conversions, Su-30MKI/MKM will follow this modification mainly with new vertical tails and thrust vectoring nozzles.

I have already the "cloned" fins from my Su-27M project (modified from Trumpeter Su-30MKK). I have also almost finished 3 view drawings and markings (most of the time I print my own decals for my special projects). I will post the drawings soon. I am a bit in difficulty in identifying the actual colors of this unique blue camouflage. Regards Serkan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Sen Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Here are the upper surfaces of Su-27UB and Su-33 kits... The blue line is the cut line for Su-33 kit to remove canard shoulders. Here is the fit check of right part and comparison versus original left side: Now all parts are ready for fit check: The next modification is the nose part replacement..

Serkan Sen Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Su-35UB has the following differences than Su-27UB at nose: IRST moved to right side of canopy Refueling system (light and probe) is installed These features are already in Su-33 kit: After gluing all parts together: The next step will be the front lower surface modification.

Serkan Sen Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) The front lower surface of Su-35UB will be mainly taken from Su-33 kit. The front part has been removed between slat root and just before the MLG bays: Su-33 has longer NLGB door than Su-27UB. Therefore additional modification is needed to correct this: Before NLGB area replacement: After replacement, the gaps have been filled with small amount of putty. Shorter NLG bay and door cause small shift in nose area. Therefore a small slot (approximately 1mm) has been opened to align panel lines. The following shots show completed lower and upper surface modifications of Su-35UB nose: The next step will be test of complete aircraft parts including Su-30MKK fins to see if all components will fit together...

Courageous Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Amazing work Serkan, good step-by-step progress reports. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Sen Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Thanks lot Stuart. As mentioned before, here are my first 3 view drawings. I am a bit in difficulty to find actual camouflage colors. With my best guesstimate (partially from Begemot decal instructions, partially from internet search) here are the colors I have currently picked: Light Blue : FS25550 (RGB 160.205.220) Mid Blue : FS25250 (RGB 87.149.206) Dark Blue : FS25095 (RGB 5.67.154) Any suggestion/comment about colors and drawings are highly appreciated 🙂 Serkan Edited March 15, 2021 by Serkan Sen 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Sen Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Hi everyone, After a short Christmas break here I am back to report my progress on Su-35UB modification project. As I have posted before the next step is part fit check; I have "cloned" modified Su-30MKK fins and Su-33 canards from my ongoing "T-10M series" project... All main parts have been taped together to build complete aircraft temporarily: Now the bird seems ready to finish 🙂 Next step is to identify correct blue tones to complete the model. Any support/suggestion for the colors is highly appreciated... I use Tamiya acrly and Model Master enamel paints.

Hi Stuart, As I am not a native English speaker, I am not sure whether I understood correctly what you meant. Does it mean that you would like to know how I replicate the parts? 🤔 Serkan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serkan Sen Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 After a very long break I am back to complete this project. I have completed the mask drawings last weekend: and here are the vinyl masks: The masks were placed on model: In overall the mask patches fit well. But some modifications have to be made at highly curved areas especially at spine. Serkan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
