ROM Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Hello, My new (but not so new ) project consists on renovate my Flanker built in 2007: More here: http://fighters.forumactif.com/t10437-su-27-trumpeter For this build, I did some correction and improvements: - Windshield: - Some detailling under the canopy: - And here: - And Eduard PE set for the seat. Some over points deserve to be treated, like the nose, air intakes,pylons and missiles: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=39249 Zacto site: http://www.zactomodels.com/ This time, i take the opportunity to correct other things - Exhausts, with Aires set - Zacto nose - Homemade correction for the air intakes I want to depict the "Blue 38" from 941th, Kilp Yavr Source:http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=146765&st=80 For this, I have the very nice LindenHill 32001 sheet: http://www.lindenhillimports.com/lhd32001.htm I'm still looking for pictures of the top surface... The camo Pattern given by LindenHill is not the "standard" one. I like it a lot, but i can't find any pictures showing it... Let's go!!

And then, masking: Martinnfb and Girlscanplay2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROM Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) I peeled of the decal with adhesive tape: I also was helped by a new blade and sandpaper result: Then, I sprayed tamiya primer direct from the can: Recessed lines are still pretty visible :)/> A+ Romain Edited May 6, 2013 by ROM Iain and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero77 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 OMG that seems to be an exhausting job ! Must be faster to start from a brand new kit... In my opinion, your 2007 version of the model was already looking very pretty ! But we must say that if you make this over-weathered and fadded lady, the paint job will be very interesting. Â Â Bon courage Ă toi, je pense que tu vas en avoir besoin ! Daywalker and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like what you did with "Blue 9", and from the looks of things so far I think "Blue 38" will be a real knockout! I'll be watching this space for more progress reports.

LSP_Kevin Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Wow, brave move! I too really like the model in its first incarnation, but having rebuilt an LSP model myself, I can certainly understand your motivation. Looking forward to following your progress!

ROM Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hello, Some update with the correction of the intakes shape Trumpy gives us a rounded shape where it should be flat. The correction set from Zactomodels shows it: http://www.zactomodels.com/ I started by trimming and inserted plastic card: Then I applied polyester resin: After one day, I sanded down: Result: Some holes are filled with more fluid epoxy resin: Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROM Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Â And again and again... sanding: Some scribing: Final result: OK, I didn't correct the width... but it's still better than before, right?? While waiting for my Zacto nose to be delivered, i will continue with the Aires nozzles. Thanks for watching! Rom Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROM Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hello! So, after the intakes, let's go for the nose! I received my Zacto parcel... My turn to be impressed by the VERY high quality of his products. The surface is ultra smooth and recessed lines are very very fine. The ealier version of the Trumpy Flanker B had a shorten nose. Chris (Zactoman) came with his replacement part: Instructions: http://www.zactomodels.com/html/Nose%20intructions%20flat.pdf Alongside with Trumpy nose: 2 resin pitots are given: But I preferred to add master Model metal one: First I had to open the fuselage: Zacto nose is a bit smaller in diameter, and you have to remove some material on the two fuselage halves in order to tighten the resin nose: I had to face some damages, and some adjustments were done: Girlscanplay2 and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROM Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Finally I manage to glue it with cyano: Despite the previous work, I got i little step, and had to use filler: Result: Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROM Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Nozzles I first sprayed "Chaos Black" from Citadel: Then i sprayed Humbrol metalcote 27003 on the two external cans. After drying, the coat need to be polished with a cloth or paper tissue in order to get the metal shine. Black (insides) and metalcote (outside) were used as a base for the paintwork. I used humbrols with a little brush and drybrush technique on the insides. For the external surfaces, I used tamiya powder sets and oil paints. Et voilĂ ! Big works are done. Some touch up and masking.. then paintwork!! Romain HerculesPA_2 and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
