haneto Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 I also took some photos of Su-27 together. My photo booth is too small for this huge bird, so I just took several shots and gave up. Need to buy a bigger booth later to take the formal photos... Also took some photos of the model with some nolstalgic reference(yes I even bought a Su-27 LD from Japan which is narrated by the very famous aviation photographer Mr. Katsuhiko Tokunaga!) to bring back the good old days to those who remember like me, when Su-27 was still the cutting edge top secret of Soviet Union. Happy weekend. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom726 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 That truely is a masterpiece model. It must be one of the top 5 best aircraft models I have ever seen on various forums. Your attention to detail is amazing and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing you work with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 It really is one of the best builds I have ever seen and the information you give us on how to go about building our own is most appreciated. I am sure your work in progress posts have sold many GWH Flankers to folk who might not have bought them otherwise. I look forward to using this WiP as inspiration when the time comes to build my own GWH Su-27 and I look forward to your GWH Su-30 build which I hope you will share with us all too.

Alan P Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Great attention to detail, you clearly understand your techniques very well 👏👏👏 Looks very realistic, a real example of modelling artwork 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chr15 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 WOW !!! Just WOW. What an incredible build, even if I could get half of the detail you have managed to get in there I would be happy. Going to be using this WIP to help me build mine as it has definitely put me in the mood to get started on mine now. Even made me order some more Flankers from Duncan B. Will keep an eye out for your next build 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Haha, hope my built is informative and helps to promote kit sales! I have been staying at home for more than 1 week since Shanghai is now lock down by local government due to Omicron pandemic here. So I have not received my Su-30SM while some folks in other China cities even finished building it...sad story but at least I have plenty time to finish this Su-27 diorama patiently.

I will build the Tamiya 1/48 F-16 to change the taste from Russian aircrafts. Actually I have not built a Tamiya kit for 20 years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haneto Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) During the lock down in Shanghai, I have plenty of time to keep on building other items for the diorama. This time figures are done. So what's next? It will be PAG-14 tarmac, and APA-5D starter truck! Thanks for watching and have a nice day!

FortyEighter Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 An incredible build and such attention to detail! Your annotated photos of the various stages are bookmarked for future reference. Having pre painted most parts, what glue do you use to avoid damage to the finish when they are joined / attached? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
