IPMS19 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 - Coincidentaly, after the excellent KORALIK64 this is another Fitter two-seater. in 1/48 scale - This one is from HOBBY-BOSS. I had this in my stash, the one from KITTY-HAWK definitely better. - The ladder , platform and wheels shocks are from a new brand (to me) 3D printed stuff. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Utterly convincing, well-used Su-22! May I suggest that the spanking new looking ladder'n'stuff might appear more convincing with a similar expert level of weathering? 😉 Marvellous Sukhoi! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Joachim - Oh yes you'r awfully right it seems I had spent too much time the nose on the kit and was eager to end this building for another challenge. I will spray some matt varnish to alleviate the glossy brand new effect; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Very nice build of a lesser seen subject, looks very convincing! I especially like the panel line wash in a light colour that shows up nicely but subtly on the dark camouflage colours. That's a technique I've been meaning to try myself, would you share some tips and details? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The result is striking, it is a real progress compared to the photo etched set, no headache to fix the parts together and most of all this put a end to the flat cylindrical parts technically impossible with photoetched parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
