Grant_T Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Another big Flanker for this group build. I'm going to build this out of the box with the kit decals. My first group build on here, wish me luck. Edited April 19, 2018 by Grant_T Dany Boy, Vandy 1 VX 4, alain11 and 5 others 7 1
Dragon Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Great choice. Looking forward to your build. Mike Grant_T 1
Out2gtcha Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Good luck! It really is a decent kit. But those intakes............. Your going to need all the luck you can get. I might suggest augmenting your OOB scheme with some FOD covers. Grant_T 1
Grant_T Posted December 16, 2017 Author Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Just to prove I'm actually working on this, here is a big lump of grey plastic. It is a fun kit; for me it hits the sweet spot of just enough detail but not too many parts. (I actually like Trumpeter 1/32 aircraft kits and I've built a bunch of them. Sacrilege! ) It'll require a lot of filler, removing mold marks, and replacing soft detail, but none of that bothers me too much. My build process is to get as much as possible glued together, filled sanded etc before beginning the painting. The cockpit in this is very open so should be pretty easy to paint like this. I'm on holiday at the moment and the weather is lovely here so this has been a very relaxing build so far. Edited December 16, 2017 by Grant_T Daniel Leduc, BradG, Youngtiger1 and 5 others 8
mark31 Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 Great progress looking forward to more I have to work on mine Mark Grant_T 1
Koralik Posted December 16, 2017 Posted December 16, 2017 Su-27UB "64" was the third model I made in my life. I hope to do it one more time, now I look at your progress. It looks very interesting. Grant_T 1
Grant_T Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 Some more progress on this. Still putting it all together and filling the various gaps and sink marks. Quite a pleasurable build as it is a very simple kit despite the size. Painting soon, my favourite part! mark31, Shawn M, BradG and 4 others 7
mark31 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 looks like a flanker to me looking forward to your paint job Keep going Mark
TorbenD Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Impressive bird that flanker eh? Shaping up nicely. Torben
Grant_T Posted January 7, 2018 Author Posted January 7, 2018 Thanks. Lots of time in the hobby room this weekend (though a big part of it this morning was cleaning and fixing the airbrush). johncrow, BradG, KiwiZac and 5 others 8
mark31 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Looks already great have fun with the paint Mark
dmthamade Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Man, that's fast work!! are you going to load it with missiles? They can carry an impressive loadout and the Sukhois don't look "right" unless loaded for Eagle. Don
Grant_T Posted January 8, 2018 Author Posted January 8, 2018 Man, that's fast work!! are you going to load it with missiles? If I'm going to get this finished in in time I thought I had better pull finger. I'll see how I feel when I get further through the build regarding missiles.
Dragon Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Not wasting any time with the build! Coming along nicely, looking forward to seeing some paint on it. Mike Grant_T 1
