Harrier/ViperFan Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 This is my first model in a long time. I am hoping that it will take me out of a rut and as i always liked the look of the Su-17/22. I like to say a big thanks you to harvy5 for helping me out on a lot of questions. I have a few bits and pieces for it: Master Pitot Hi Decals Eduard R-60 Missiles Eduard R-3S Eduard Seat Belts Canopy Masks It won't be a fast build.

Harrier/ViperFan Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Does anyone know if this kit needs weight in the nose? The instructions don't say if it does or not. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasosrr Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) I haven't built this particular kit, but KittyHawk's Su-17 needs weight, so I would advise you to add some. Maybe not too much, if you want to protect your nose gear and considering that the kit doesn't require it, but... just to be on the safe side, you know? Great choice of model by the way. I will be following your build with interest. Edited June 22, 2020 by nasosrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrier/ViperFan Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thought i better show my work so far as i forgot to up till now. The nose cone is slightly off as there is no guides or any way to show that its aligned right which sucks.
