Guest Peterpools Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi Brian Not sure how they do it but the Sufas make it off the runway every time. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 UPDATE: 3/30/14 LOADOUTS – DONE! Before I started construction on the Sufa, I never dreamed I would spend so much time researching, building and painting the loadouts. In reality, I could have almost built another complete model in the time spent on this portion of the build and easily could have devoted twice the time in detailing and fussing with the assemblies. Each assembly was built OOB, as I was shooting for a very lightly worn look, as Israeli Air Force aircraft are very well maintained. I kept the Flory wash to a minimum, using it to highlight only the panel lines on the pylons and accentuate the welds and seals on the drop tanks. I did notice that the panel lines and details on the Wolfpack pylons (used on the 370 gal drop tanks) were sharper and accepted the wash mush better then then Academy pylons. Model Master enamels were the paint of choice, as well as both Glosscote and Dullcote for the decaling process along with the Micro Set and Sol. To help the decals sit down over the numerous filler caps, Walther's Solvaset was needed. Kit decals are by Cartagraf – nothing else needs to be said – gorgeous! With this portion of the build now nearly done (thanks goodness), except for a few tweaks and on the GBU's, a few parts need to be added, it's time to head back to the Sufa herself and start finishing up all the details, adding the zillions of PE upgrades, the burner can assembly and finally getting ready for priming the aircraft herself. Thanks for checking in Enjoy Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks Brian Some as as big as a 1/72nd scale kit but at least they are all done and today I started working on all the lump and bumps on the Sufa - and she sure has a lot of them.

Guest Peterpools Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks Gary Much appreciated. Just couldn't believe how long it took to actually work my way thought the loadout. Started adding lots of PE and resin details to the SUfa this afternoonand hopefully, I'll be able to start priming in a few weeks. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Wow! Now I know why I wasn't setting any updates on your build. That is a lot of ordnance for one plane. The finish looks great on everything. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
