chris148 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Good afternoon everyone, Latest build off the bench,the Kittyhawk SU35 flanker 'Red 25' in 1/48.I found the kit went together well and was well moulded and detailed although the painting guidance fell short from start to finish.The decals were good and went on easily. The build is entirely out of the box,it did come with resin 'at rest' exhausts which i didn't use as both the moulding and fit were poor. The build was painted as always by brush using mixed colours all round using revell/humbrol enamels. 35 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent modern day Flanker Never had an air brush and probably never will,the only ready to go colours available are Mr Color acrylics which if you brush paint on a large scale i find you can't get a good finish with as they dry quicker than enamels leaving brush lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty84 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Wow, an excellent Flanker, one doesn't see the KH Su-35S built very often with the GWH kit available. I'm really envious about your painting skills, sometimes I get a worse finish using an airbrush Great build 👍 Cheers Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
