Koralik64 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Kitty Hawk models are always difficult for me. The way they are cut is completely pointless - I have the impression that it comes to information on the box that there are so many parts. Aerodynamic brakes are made in the open version if you want to close them you will have a lot of work, etc. However, sometimes there is no way out and you have to make a model that is not perfect. Su-22UM Kitty Hawk 1:48 made straight from the box in a very difficult painting. I cut the decals and applied them over 20 hours. The effect looks like this: 1:1 Su-22UM3 Kitty Hawk 1:48 Polish Air Force Edited December 28, 2018 by Koralik64 44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Seems to be 20 hours well spent – the livery looks impeccable and is a real eye-catcher. Excellent modelling! Kind regards, Joachim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Well.....all your hard work paid off, anyway. Well Done, Sir ! I agree that Kittyhawk do tend to over-engineer their kits although this is often necessary to produce the different variants. I can do without open panels, air brakes etc if they do not fit in the closed position. It can be done (Great Wall Hobby have proved this) but Kittyhawk have a way to go yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
