viperchief Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Wow! What a build! This is my first Modelsvit build and there will be more! So much detail! Takes a bit of work/planning to get everything together but just enough of a challenge to keep me interested. Added Eduard PE, Master Model guns/pitot and Armory wheels. Painted with MRP paint (freehand) and kit decals were used (very nice BTW). Pictured with my Yak-1 and MiG-21 for comparison. She's a big jet! Thanks for looking!

stevehnz Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Very nice. A recent delivery of a similar aircraft kit (Su-22M2BR) from Mistercraft showed me how big they were. While the MC kit might not be up to Modelvit standard, a recent build by @John Masters showed they can come up well, your one provides further inspiration.

Luckily I have one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 That is superb Rich, very well done buddy. Some of these early Soviet jets are so brutish looking, they don't fly but actually force their way through the sky, in an angry fashion.....! Nice collection too.

Vultures1 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Oh yes. that's a beauty! Really nice work Rich, and a great collection too - well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Has to be my most favourite Soviet jet. Its a lovely great chunk of an aeroplane which I was lucky to see flying at the International Air Tattoo a few years ago. Your model is just superb Rich capturing the look of the real aircraft perfectly. Nice MiG and Yak as well. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Indigo Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Great work on what looks to be an excellent kit, and a very interesting camo scheme. I'm close to finishing a 1/48 HB kit in classic russian green/brown/sand colors, and this kit could be an option to build in the modern polish scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
