Vultures1 Posted September 2, 2024 Posted September 2, 2024 You're a brave man @Ryan Hothersall! I built the Art Model Su-25K and it fought me all the way! There's something about the brutal looks of the UB I like though 1 1
JOCKNEY Posted September 2, 2024 Posted September 2, 2024 First and foremost can I congratulate you on the workbench, it would appear you and I have the same filing system You certainly have lots of bits for this one, the choice of decals alone I'm finding intimidating Best of luck Cheers Pat 2

I'll be following, I've heard these are the most accurate Su-25 kits, but they've never sounded like a relaxing build. Never heard of Salamandra decals before, they look interesting. 2

stevehnz Posted October 13, 2024 Posted October 13, 2024 I've always held back from buying one of these, tempted though I have been in the past, now I've seen the work out it is giving you, I think I made the right decision. You seem to have the measure of it now. Steve.
