IPMS19 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 -This is the Great Wall Hobby model in 48 Scale the kit by itself is very good but it was not that easy as I though at first to built. The exhaust are from AMUR River. In this kit the canopy was not tinted so I've dipped the canopy in klir colored with yellow ink - That work fairly well .The difficulty come to find the right amount of ink to obtain the good shade. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Very nicely done Sukhoi ... Normally i dont comment on modern Sukhoi’s or Migs. However i think the Su’s look best in this scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What dark gray and light blue did you end up using? -I've used Akan paints Eggplant and for lower surfaces 35622 Mr color mixed with few drop of medium blue to get the shade I wanted. I felt the eggplant grey closer of a faded shade than the one applied on recently issued machines so I've used darker weathering powder to get a different darker grey shade around structure and panel lines and on some larger suraces panels to give a better general weathered aspect.

I've noticed that too late to correct this the paint process was almost completed. - The mod is not very difficult. Just cut the sting before the tail cone and after the dispenser, rotate the part obtained and glue it again in the right position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avgas Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) That eggplant scheme really has grown on me. Didn't care for it much when I first saw it but over time the weathered appearance lends a fiercer look to it in my opinion. You've done a lovely job on yours, well done!
