exdraken Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Great! Have you decided in the pilot? There is also a PJ productions one that could fit. The Su-27 seat is also a K-36, but I assume a different sub model... headbox looks suspicious! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it doesn't look too bad werner ,the postman delivered the pilot and seat yesterday , but if he looks wrong or doesn't fit I'm sure he'll fit into a hobbyboss su-27,and I'll search for that pj productions pilot 👍 8 hours ago, modelling minion said: Wow Glynn. you're not messing around with this one are you mate!

Cheers craig, even though its a big kit the general fit helps it go together well and quickly, and not having the landing gear down , theres a lot of parts in the bays, the missiles are one piece items but the painting will slow me down a bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am by far an expert on modern (or old) Russian ejection seats unfortunately, I am sure the real experts will chim in if required! to me the more recent K-36D-3/ D-5 models have a more rounded head box. the D-5 is supposedly the one for the Su-57, so not relevant here I assume this one is called K-36D-3,5 ... not sure what to take from this! https://artsandculture.google.com/exhibit/the-museum-of-rd-pe-zvevda-jsc-named-after-academician-g-i-severin/wRgo-XRc if you do not like the resin headbox, you could probably also swap it with the kit supplied one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-36D-5 is indeed installed on the Su-35S: http://www.zvezda-npp.ru/sites/default/files/styles/850x530/public/uploads/product_images/k36d_5_0.jpg?itok=L06ocEVz http://www.zvezda-npp.ru/ru/node/118 the problem is that it is not on the aftermarket at 1/48. There is only a predecessor K-36D-3.5 from Metalic Details: https://www.scalemates.com/ru/kits/metallic-details-mdr4838-k-36d-35--1220708 but I am not sure of its accuracy and do not know the required amount of rework.

B.R. Serge Hi serge, I've used the resin seat and pilot and cut off some of the rear of the resin seat and used the kits rear seat frame (launch rail?) And the kits head box, The kits looked nearer to werners seat picture than the resin head box , I've nearly got the cockpit finished the seat is painted and installed, I've just got to paint mr pugachev's head and I'll post it up, I've been a bit distracted 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 A quick comparison before alterations Kit seat is on the left And the front veiw, again kit seat left The kit seat sits very slightly higher than the resin one in the cockpit The tube part under the head box on the kit seat isn't present on the resin one so thats where it will be cut and transfered Cheers all 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Looks to me like the only noticeable difference between the kit seat and the resin one is the head box Glynn, a little bit of surgery and all will be sorted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
