Until March I have off, so I started to finish another project. Originally it was to be Peruvian UBM.I started building about 8 years ago.It's only OOB.First I modified ruder and horizontal stabilizer.spacer.pngspacer.pngspacer.png

However, when KP / AZ released a series  Su-25 I buy UTG and SM kits.But it was a big mistake!

For UTG is correct only hook and details cocpits.

Repair PUR parts are wrong
The horizontal stabilizer has a good shape but a bad profile. He's negative.

This part is completely useless. It is short and have a bad shape.

If I modified the original model, I would have less work.All the details I made myself.It was faster than repairing KP "super details"

On Friday, a year after my last work at UTG, I returned to it.I started doing camo.

All UTG were originally produced as UB.Therefore had original camo for UB.

Very nice progress Harvy!

A UTG!.What a rare plane!

I personally plan on doing a green Peruian one with Kh-58... with the Kopro upgrade boxing and Frufru misdiles and targeting system...

Seems a lot of work though...

FRU-FRU VJUGA pod is only for Su-22. You need this one.

Hallo

Actually, could you tell me, is the KP kit so wrong? Or can you give me an idea, in short terms, what all I have to do, to get a good result?

I have two kits, soingle and twin.

Happy modelling

KP are only versions K and UBK. Export version. Soviet versions have small differences.

UB and UTG version have a different framing rear cabin. Stabilizers have correct shape but bad profile.

SM version is classic Su-25 without any changes.Missing all  differences,new antennas, new bomb racks. Only one detail for SM version is new instrument panel.
