exdraken Posted June 17 Posted June 17 from 1989 it seems, OEZ originally! https://www.scalemates.com/de/kits/oez-02-su-7bkl-bmk--114899 some add ons I have found in the stash of dust aquiring items PE from Eduard, Quickboost resin, and a nice Neomega cockpit! I guess I also have some Master pitot if they released one bnot sure yet which airforce/ time frame.... well reasoned ideas? 12
2996 Victor Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Should be interesting! These Soviet jets are so distinctive, aren't they? Looking forward to watching your progress. Cheers, Mark 1
JOCKNEY Posted July 4 Posted July 4 Goodness me that looks like a lot of parts even for 1/48 scale, should look amazing when finished. Best of luck Cheers Pat 1
exdraken Posted September 5 Author Posted September 5 a BMK= export version it will be. just found that KP/ Kopro/ Eduard provides you with 2 lower wing options... the more slick one for the BMK, the onw with a bump whrer the undercarriage retracts is for the short field cpaable, skid euipped Soviert or Warsaw Pact airfores --> hence the BMK this will mean special attentian when mounting undercarriage, and respective doors. and PE I have, maybe a bit too much, especailly when also using the Neomega cockpit... lets see! i am also thinking about a reskit nozzle...... the said BMK lower wing halfs detail is surprisingly good, plastic ist thick and soft though..... 7
exdraken Posted September 9 Author Posted September 9 worked a bit on wings and fuselage enging louvres from quickboost look great, but need to be blended in better. (of course they are slightly small and a not a drop in replacement.... ) fopr the BMK the wing root has to be modified according to the instrictions as the fairing is designed for the larger BKL skid equipped landing gear bulge gone on the fuselage Neomega resin cockpit is beautiful and full of detail base blue grey paint is no, now the details need to be painted as well 8

I do think that some of these boxings are a bit borderline in their 'full disclosure'- imagine buying this as an Eduard Limited Edition and finding you'd actually got an OEZ from 1989🤔 22 hours ago, exdraken said: Neomega resin cockpit is beautiful and full of detail My fault for jumping here from a Tasman build thread- I thought those were kit parts with 'minimal' flash😱 1

Those Limited Edition kits were all, I do not think without any exception older kits with fantastic decals and PE and Resin improvements. Lately also newer plastic parts got this treatment. I also have an OEZ Su-25, Academy MiG-29+Su-27, KP Su-17/22, etc... still those were the best awailabld back then! We got a lot of new molded kits in the last 10 years it seems, by Trumpeter, GWH, Kittyhawk etc! 😉 1 1
exdraken Posted September 14 Author Posted September 14 some paint work on the pit, sorry for the bad photo... but looks quite ok part mounted! 7
exdraken Posted October 6 Author Posted October 6 so, lets see what wonders the new photo upload side Hobby Photo does... I also replaced some, but I guess not all of the above photos... let mw know if you can see any, none, all..... I got a Reskit nozzle if lots can be seen after installment I do not know.... but its there cheers! 5 1
PattheCat Posted October 6 Posted October 6 Pit and burner are gorgeous. It all looks very good so far Werner @exdraken 1 1
AdrianMF Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Terrific detail, and it all seems to fit well too. Looking forward to seeing it all together! Regards, Adrian
John Posted October 15 Posted October 15 I built the OEZ Mig-21 back in the late 1980s. It was a bit of a fight but it was the only game in town for a late generation airframe in 1/48th scale. How times have changed 😀 I never built the Su-7 but I always fancied it. I got the Mistercraft boxing last year and it's in the queue, so watching this build with great interest. John 1
exdraken Posted October 21 Author Posted October 21 some more PE work the airbrakes wells actually would benefit from complete replacement if shown open, (Eduard does provide a flimsy PE option) but actually I wanted them closed. As those airbrakes have sharp, edges, in contrast to the plastic ones with poor fit and undefined shape I decided to go for the PE shape instead... some on the wheel wells and exhaust area 3
exdraken Posted October 24 Author Posted October 24 looks like a Su-7 Fitter now! some smaller PE and Resin parts still missing, next to canopy and control surfaces, but then I think we are good to go direction paintshop! 1
exdraken Posted November 3 Author Posted November 3 moving surfaces msotly mounted, some detail added like scoops etc... next is canopy and pre shading! ad camo decissions..... Nile or 2/ 3 tone? ,,, 3
