VG 33 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Hello I have finished the 1/72 Zvezda Sukhoï Su-57 kit. I have chosen No 511 prototype as it has likely operated form Russian bases in Syria and I have found a couple of pictures of her. The build is easy as with every new aircraft kits form Zvezda. On the other hand there is nothing for the pixelated camouflage except a wrong scheme on the instruction sheet. So I used my Silhouette Portrait to make masks and get a better camouflage scheme. Both colors came from the Tamiya Lacquer Paint range and how I saw them on the available pictures.. Patrick 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Great build and an outstanding job on the painting. I'm very impressed. Can't wait to see the 1/48 scale version of this model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The pixelated effect is beautifully recreated, all the more impressive because you fabricated you own masks. great work. Cheers Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
