Ukraine Air Force Su-27S - Digital Camouflage “58”

[trickyrich]

This model is part a group of builds that are outside my usual group build projects. I have a fascination bordering on obsession with complex schemes for my builds, even more so for these crazy digital schemes. Especially these Ukrainian ones, I knew I just have to build them from the first time I saw them about 5-6 years ago. I had mask for an Su-24 and Su-25 well before the current situation, and even more so now!!

 

..and here is one did earlier, it’s the Trumpeter model (a horrible model) with full set of correction bits.

 

 

The masks I use/used are from a Ukraine company Foxbot, and I have to say without doubt they are the best available anywhere! They are a super thin material like thin plastic, conform quite nicely and stick VERY well!! The warning with these are you MUST use lacquer paint, enamels and water based stuff will just lift off with the masks. Even with lacquer-based paints you need to ensure you have a good base for the main coats.

 

The model is the GWH one, and I really liked it, the only issues I had where with poor mould lines on the AAM stores, I had similar issues with their F-15I which I have also just completed.

 

Plus speaking of which, the eagle-eyed would have noticed the AGM-88’s under the wings. They were going to go on a MiG-29 that is in the build list until a saw a photo of a “grey” Su-27 with them fitted, so why not.

 

Thank you for looking and please enjoy.

thanks, the Orange Hobby nozzles aren't too bad, though prefer the Reskit or KA Model ones.
