spyrosjzmichos Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Hi all! While the F-15I build is still going on I would like to present you my previous work.First off, Trumpeter's lovely Su-25A kit! I loved it at every step for its ease of build despite its size, its details and overall engineering! It's an almost OOB built with the addtion of Fisher Models' FOD covers and Zactomodels' outer wing pylons (only negative aspect of the kit as they are missing...)I used a combination of Mr Paint colours for the cockpit and undercarriage, Alclad for the engines and Lifecolor acrylic colours for the camo!Also, I tried out Mig Ammo and AK Interactive weathering products for the first time. Quite happy with them although I could have gone heavier.Hope you like it!!!

spyrosjzmichos Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Very nice. Did you use the kit decals? Thank you! Yup, kit decals. Good quality although the shark mouth was too fragile and managed to tear it at some spots. Had to repair paint these but otherwise pretty good! WOW!!! Thank you!

RNoAF Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Do anybody know what kind of stencils the export version of the Su-25 have?? Russian? English? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 That is one fine-looking model. Great show. Sincerely, Mark spyrosjzmichos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyrosjzmichos Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Did you use the kit stencil decals? Yes, all decals came from the kit box. Do anybody know what kind of stencils the export version of the Su-25 have?? Russian? English? Unfortunately, I don't know. But I think it would make more sense to have the stencils in the operator's local language or English? Maybe someone else can provide better info. The kit stencils were the same for both Russian and Czech versions although I think both languages are completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNoAF Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Linden hill!!! We need up to date stencils for the SU-25 in 1/32 please!!!!! spyrosjzmichos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 That's a very nice Su-25 you built ! And you seem to have really enjoyed it ! I built one 2 or 3 years ago as well and so i did, that's a very good kit. Do anybody know what kind of stencils the export version of the Su-25 have?? Russian? English? I think they were delivered with russian stencils in the Warpac countries. Most of the crews in these countries had basics in russian. Some may have been re-stenciled later in the local language, though, but i must depend of the specific country. spyrosjzmichos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Beatiful build, nice attention to detail. Czechoslovak Su-25 had stencilling in Czech with "custom" CS Camo scheme, here is an example of stencilling in Slovak language, And yes those guys are using two different languages, . Harvey/Jozef ( the other Harvey) should pitch in with his hands on experience . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 before General Overhaul, all the stencilling on CSAF was in Russian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
