Serkan Sen Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 The APK-9 pod and its pylon were also cloned: Next is to clone KAB-500KR bomb... Serkan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Sen Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 The Zvezda Su-30SM kit has Kab-500kr bomb but some improvements are needed. I have cloned the bomb's body and the entire Trumpeter Su-34 KAB-500L bomb to take its tail fins: Now the only missing parts are 6 x FAB-250-M54 bombs and MBD3-U6-68 Multiple Bomb Racks...

Serkan Sen Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Trumpeter Su-34 kit provides also MBD3 bomb racks: I built one of the racks and cloned it: As you noticed the sway brace assemblies were casted separately as they are very tiny.

Robert Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Hi Serkan, just like what you do when you need extra items, l will just cast this and that. Do you use a pressure pot for your castings ? Regards Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serkan Sen Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Now almost all armament is there: The only missing loading is FAB-250-M54 bombs... Serkan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Sen Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 After spending a bit time in web search I saw that having 6 FAB-250-M54 resin bombs will cost me more than 15€ including shipping. For such tiny and simple parts it is too much. As I gained significant experience in 3D printing I decided to print my own FAB-250-M54 bombs... And here is the STL model imported to Chitubox: I have also scaled up that bomb to 1:48 scale to use in my ongoing Su-35UB project: It will take 2,5 hours to see the result... 🙂 Serkan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Sen Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 The print process finished. The parts were rinsed with IPA and cured un UV light: Look at these beauties: Now I have enough (in fact more than enough 🙂 ) bombs to load my Flankers...

Serkan Sen Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 I made some progress on this project as well. The AA-10 missiles were painted to white and the black strips were cut from 0.08mm thick dull black vinyl film: Most of the missiles and bombs have been loaded: The only missing loads are the KAB-500L and FAB-250-M54 bombs. This project is now very close to "RFI". Serkan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
