Col. Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Oooh that's nice! A lot of work perhaps but the harness looks great Will make a nice centre-piece within the cockpit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlin Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Real nice work Werner. Can't wait until I can start my own. The CWS set was shipped from Bulgaria yesterday, so perhaps in a fortnight from now I can start it. /Bosse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 thanks guys, I actually planned to do the rest of the decals yesterday.... stencils I mean .. and lots of them... instead I tried to train seatbelts to stay calm and relaxed on an ejection seat I also will do some work to the seat base color, I think it is a bit too dark now..... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 - I'm not sure to be ready to spent hours trying to get the best of this CWS part of the transkit owing to the tiny size of those buckles and straps even if I recognise it is an upmost adding to get an exceptionnal looking seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Awesome work on the seat Werner, that really does look fantastic. Your build is really nice and those KH-58's look like they would do some serious damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eduard Steel seatbelt are also very nice..... just that I only had some for the PD... not sure if also appropriate and as time is running out I took out the scissors and some tranquilizers to thread the straps into the buckles..... 22 hours ago, modelling minion said: Your build is really nice and those KH-58's look like they would do some serious damage. indeed! and 4 of them! how accurate they where/ are will probably remain a mystery though! but they where also used with the Su-17/22. and a special targeting pod (Vjuga) https://i729.photobucket.com/albums/ww293/binhbeo78/53-kh-58.jpg the West should be quite aware of this capability! I assume though that a Mach 1.5 -Mach 2.5 launch velocity capability would add some punch and element of surprise! whatever, some decals: lots of stencils on the pylons as well--- times 4 adds a lot of decaling time to my tight schedule! luckily some of them are grouped, and the behave quite wonderfully! great job Begemot! but worth the effort i'd say! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have problem with the painting of the missiles, it didn't stand the masking I have to strip all the remaining paint off , spray a primary and paint again , before begining working on them I had dipped them in klir but this time it didn't work I should have cleaned them and all their fins more seriously before , I fear it will be the same for the nose, I don't want to have the same problem once the model almost finished. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I washed them before though. the same goes for the missiles. I used Tamiya tape mostly, 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post the result in some days as I want to show the camouflaged bort white 37 but I still have not enough photos mostly of the left side as it look rather different from the right and I have to wait the weather becoming cooler for the paint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Looks really realistic. I've seen these birds looking exactly like that. It is one of the planes I have personal dislike for because of what it has been used for in current times. However, your model looks excellent.

That should help with paint lifting. It does look good!! I really have to get one of these! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that I use acrylics paints only is this reason....can't tell.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
