Pete in a shed Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hello all Here is my latest, the Trumpeter kit of the Su-15UM. It was completed using the Pavla replacement resin nose and decals from the Begemot Su-15 sheet. The kit seats were detailed with plastic card and harnesses from an Ace etch set. The paints used were my usual Humbrol 27002/3 metallics. I used Flory washes for the first time and found them easy to use and was very pleased with the result. I really enjoyed this one and can thoroughly recommend the kit, it’s one of Trumpeters best in my view. Hope you like the pics. Cheers Pete Thanks for looking Pete 46 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Beautiful work and very nicely displayed. I'll bet that airplane was a beast to fly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Wow! I had no idea this version even existed, and was combat-capable, no less! I'm really impressed with those decals, which include an inscription for "excellent!" and what appear to be people's signatures over the inspection panels. Ah-maaaz-ing! Great work, excellent detail, as always. Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 What a terrific build! You have such a realistic NMF... I am quite jealous. I have to agree that this is a good kit -- I assume it shares most parts with the Trumpeter Su-15 TM I built about a year ago and, except for a little work needed on the intakes, I found it to be a well designed and molded kit. I did mine in a camo scheme that was pretty unique and interesting, but frankly I think bare metal suits this aircraft and you've done a wonderful job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much. Yes I imagine it was probably like I've heard said about what it was like to fly the E.E. Lighting, Two (in this case) screaming pilots astride two screaming engines😁.

The aircraft depicted was from the 218th Training and Instructor Aviation Regiment (Stavropol Pilot and Navigators Military University), Salsk airfield in the 70's. And as you rightly say was named 'excellent aircraft'. I think the markings on the panels are pictorial instructions/job guides as they are on all aircraft. We need Su -15 ground crew to confirm.

Yes the same basic parts I think plus the same poor fit round the intakes. I took the easy option with the metallic finish, the camo scheme is wicked but too hard for me. well done for doing that.

Natter Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The model is, like the plane's name, excellent. The Humbrol Metalcotes are really nice paints, but your NMF is a class piece of work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningboy2000 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I've never really taken notice of this aircraft until now. I think that's a seriously good looking aircraft, something different to the usual. Very nicely applied metallic paints, Humbrol which I haven't used in a long time & looks like another must have kit. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its so easy to create different shades with a little of another colour of your choice. 21 hours ago, Lightningboy2000 said: I've never really taken notice of this aircraft until now.

I think its a cracking shape as well, so of the time. 12 hours ago, RidgeRunner said: Heaps of well deserved praise!
