I initially had plans of foiling the engine area as you did on your fantastic Flanker...but sadly giving up on that was one of the many concessions I have made just to get this thing done. But the next build...for sure. That just sets off the whole model for me. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johncrow Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 I think I'll pull this off. I got a flat coat on it, which toned down the camo; it looks much better. The elevons and canards are still not fully attached. I did manage to get the vertical stab reattached...full functionality was restored. I still have to attach the landing gear, weapons, and the various antennas. Or antennae, if you prefer. After removing the masking that had been in place for two years, I found that the cockpit suffered a bit more than I had hoped, and it needs some rehab. I thought "No matter, I'll just go closed canopy". Then realized my vac-formed windscreen does not match the main canopy in cross-section, so....canopy up it is. Thanks for looking, and Merry Christmas. jp LSP_Kevin, Pfuf, The Dude and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Man, that looks fantastic jp! I've always loved a lot of the modern Russian jets, and the Flanker has always been a favorite. I too would love a folded up IM Sea Flanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
