Hewy Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Looking at some of the really nice model kits that are going to be built in this gb I've had a rustle through the stash, and being aware this gb runs till march i thought I'd have a go at the su-35s from GWH , the kit looks really nice ,there's some awsome camo schemes around for these ,so I'm swotting up for aftermarket decals, and I'll need a resin pilot figure. if anyone's got a link for a suitable pilot please post it, this is going to be on a stand wheels up in a suitable pose, i dont have a jot of am for it ,does it need any? I'll post up some pictures when i make a start tomorrow Cheers all Glynn 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 This should be an interesting build Glynn, a very new kit of an awesome aircraft. As you say, these have some interesting colour schemes too. Another one to watch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray B. Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) I was initially planning to do the Hasegawa 1/72 version but I want to get better with painting before I build mine, so I can give those exhaust nozzles the attention they deserve. Excellent choice! I'll be watching this with interest. There's a set of videos on YouTube of the guy from someone building this kit and he does some outstanding work, only to be let down by the decals in the end. Said the carrier film was thick and they stuck out like a sore thumb. Edited November 18, 2020 by Ray B. Ooof.

Cheers ray, it was a close decision between this one in 48th scale or a trumpeter su-33 in 1/72 ,i need a few more bits and bobs for the 33 though 2 hours ago, modelling minion said: This should be an interesting build Glynn, a very new kit of an awesome aircraft.

Hello nigel, it'd be good to have you look in ,thanks, I've made a start, and got most of the cockpit painted and decaled,I've ordered the areobonus (aires) pilot 480211 in a seat pictured above ,I'll paint him up when he lands, and hopefully he'll slot straight in🤞, I've had a look at a fair few builds , both on this site and youtube , I'm going to build and paint in sections, test fitting of course as i go , and build the prepainted parts at the end , I'll start assembling the intakes next, This is the scheme aircraft I'd like to do the model in although it hinges on whether i can get hold of the bort numbers 902 The office awaits Cheers all Glynn 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Nice start, cockpit is looking very nice. Pretty sure the resin seat is correct too. The high AOA display sounds interesting too, great idea. Will you be using acrylic rod in the exhausts for mounting it? I did that with a Lightning a bit back in vertical flight and it looked pretty nice, will be interesting to see what you do with this great big lump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a good go at this today , all the stories about it being a cracking kit and fit are very true, I've built up the intakes and painted the insides,its a similar color to the plastic so not obvious, when i test fitted the intakes i noticed i could get a totally close fit easier without clamping if i fitted them to the lower fuselage half before sealing it up, so thats what i did, i fitted the gear bays even though they are going to be closed, then test fit the upper fuselage half to check, all good, Apologies for the lighting, Intakes built up Open Louvres, nice clean join Same story on the othe side Painted the coaming, also the pilot has landed today, so i may be able to zip it up at the weekend Cheers all Glynn 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
