Sukhoï Su-27 Flanker - Trumpeter 1/32

[Stéphane]

Hello,

 

I'm a slow builder, producing on best years 3 to 4 models. and there are projects that takes a looooong time.

This Sukhoï was begun more than 12 years ago, on and off .....

 

But now, with the lock-up, I'm back at it after 2 years untouched.

 

It has almost all the available goodies : Zacto resin parts for air Intakes, nose and canopy, Aires wheel wells and exhausts, Black box cockpit ....

 

This flury of aftermarkets did a lot to slow and stop that building. The wheel wells are a nightmare to fit, requiring sanding with industrial power to lodge. Aires exhaust are undersized in diameter, making way to surgery.

 

But 3 days of work have produced their results, windshield and front sector optronics are in place, now polishing the plastic with micromesh, prior to a black base coat for working the exhausts area.

That is a big bird in 1/48 let alone 1/32! Some excellent additions and work, keep it up!

That is a very large model. I like your progress so far. The cockpit is going to be wonderful when finished, I can already see.
