Reini78 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 After the refreshed Latin American subjects from 2016, now on to a few from the Middle East. Kopro kit, Wolfpack Design ejection seat (had to cut away several mm of it´s bottom because it is too tall), IFF antennas with plastic rods, Linden Hill decals, the underside color was an older selfmix my dad had standing around for some years (also used on the MiG), don´t know anymore what´s in it 🙂 the sand color was a "gut"mix with Tamiya XF-55 Deck Tan, XF-59 Desert Yellow and XF-60 Dark Yellow the green was Gunze H405 Olive Green Vallejo Metal Color Aluminium for the drop tanks and rocket pods.

Troy Smith Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Very neat. One comment, I was under the idea that ejector seats have different colour straps for the parachute and seat parts, as mixing them up could cause problems... I note also the big drop tanks, having red about Su-7 operations in the Arab MiGs books, seems they were almost fuel critical from take off! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don´t know anymore if he used a pic of a real seat or a model for reference. Big thirsty engine....range with droptanks was only about 250km.....well, Soviet frontline fighter/bomber concept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Very nice rendition of this well travelled mould. Looks great - Love the colours - not sure that anyone could argue as to accuracy and they look just how I imagine they should look. I've got a couple of these knocking about and I think you have inspired me to get one built. Just love the shape of the Fitter. Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigster Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 You've done a very nice job of that old OEZ kit! Even panel lines looks better than on "so called -modern" Airfix kits. I like your restrained approach to the weathering, which become some kind of obsessions lately. Zig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Super cool! Another great project Reini! I really like the Su-7 and formerly taught with an expatriate Russian who had once served as part of the ground crew for Su-7s. He told me "They were very tough airplane. Very tough!" 😀 Your plane make an ideal companion for my ex-OEZ Iraqi MiG-21MF, seen on these pages recently. 😉 Thanks for sharing your great scale model here!

I like your restrained approach to the weathering, which become some kind of obsessions lately. Zig Airfix has improved a lot but their panel lines are still a bit "crude", yes. That´s my dad´s style, he´s no friend of heavy weathering or the so called spanish school. 9 hours ago, desert falcon said: Mabrook !!
