After a, kinda long hiatus, I'm going to start building this kit! it's gonna be the first model that'll stay with me in my house, usually they go to my brother's, but not this one. It's been chosen cause my son asked me for a model and since he and his mother are venezuelans the choice was easy. It took me a while to get the kit itself since it's out of stock from stores since a long time ago, but thanks to a fellow modeller I was able to get my hands on this kit and some other cool stuff! the aftermarket the kit came with it's the following Wolfpack SU-30 MK Flanker cockpit set Wolfpack SU-30 MK Flanker update set Quickboost Flanker correct nose Fairy Hobby Flanker family correct canopy Begemot CARACAL decals in the mail I'm not a rivet counter by any means, but this one I want to keep it as close as posible as the real thing, is not gonna be easy cause you find lots of pics of the venezuelan planes but mostly good to get the overall look, but when it comes to details such as cockpit, gear bays and stuff you won't find many, or at least I couldn't find! So if you have some I'd be glad if you can share with me! So let's go to the pictures and I'll try to unfold the kit as I move through the build This is the plane I want to represent, decals are on its way the same with the colors, even though for color I'm just following Begemot suggestions, I'll wait for them to get here and see what do they look like The kit and it's goodies This is one of the sprues that turns the SU-27 kit into a SU-30, so I'll have to start cutting away a big chunk of the model! nice way to start for a non experienced modeller! Wolfpack SU-30 MK Flanker cockpit set Wolfpack Flanker update kit Quickboost correct nose. and the Fairy Hobby correct Flanker family canopy This is a special build and I'll do my best to make it justice!! and I'm posting a WIP here for the first time cause I want to learn and hear your opinnions, I don't think I'm good enough to "show" what I do, but I do want to get there!
