Ripaman Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Ok guys…………..today IS the day! I wrapped the big girl up tonight. Got the gear on and completed. As ZZ Top would say, She got legs! – Got the gear doors on and the fiddly bits for the nose gear door actuator, along with the nose gear arm cover and mud guard – Took me some time to figure out the canopy, but that is done as well. Cans are glued in, and secure. I also got the missiles figured out and glued on, but had a slight problem with the port wing AA missile, as I broke a tab off. I got that sorted as well though. I'm callin this big Russian girl done. My first completed GB, YAY! One final teaser shot as I have to leave out of town this weekend to Kansas City but will be back on Sun or Mon to take some shots and put up a RFI post. Thanks again to one and all who followed me on this quite extended journey. So…………………..looks like there is only one thing left to say after 8 months: FIN! Thanks, cheers, and happy holidays to one and all! Brian :yahoo: Well Brian mate, she looks very good well done just love what you did to her.

Rudy Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Dear Brain, Your scale model is amazing and it's a reference for my fisrt scale model costruction (I know I'm crazy). I decided to make the same Su-30MMK n°504 ; I bought all materials, kits, accessoiries etc... But I'm very sad cause I can't find nozzles from Pitzmodel. Could you send me a digital copy of the construction manual ? I'm a 3D CG artist and I think I can reproduce them in PE or with a 3D printer. I would like too, a list of all the MM paint you use.... Thank you very much for all tips and tricks you could give me. Rudy (from France) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just PM me here with your E-mail address. The paint was mainly a custom mix of MM enamel yellow zinc chromate primer, and MM insignia white. I just mixed them until I was satisfied with teh color matching the 1:1 bird. Then I took and lightened that color by 5 or maybe even more times, with white to make the really faded top color.
