TimW Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 OK. I purchased the Flogger B when it first came out....did some work; stopped when the G came out and built that. The B has languished for awhile and I've gone all around the block trying to settle on a version. I was going to do an East German Flogger, but now am going with an all over grey Polish AF bird. Why? Because I have a camouflaged G aready, a K in the stash (which will also be camo'd) and thought an all over grey one would be a nice contrast. That, and I'll have to buy more MFs and MLs because I want to do Cuban, other Pact versions, etc. Pics shortly, as soon as I can get stuff onto Imgur, etc. Stay tuned.

Out2gtcha Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Looks good in primer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 For a simple scheme, there's going to be a lot of additional shading/weathering, so right now after the initial coat of grey, it doesn't look that exciting. The Authentic Decals set I have allows for a Soviet and Polish aircraft in grey, but the Polish one is for 1991--I'm just going to leave off the fancy squadron marking to backdate it to the late 70s/early 80s look as most of the fancy additions didn't come until the end of the Cold War.

TimW Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 More shots. I did some brush work with lighter and mostly darker shades of grey, then fine sanding. More to be done. Also did the nose and the panel up on the vertical stabilizer. Kagemusha, Out2gtcha, D.B. Andrus and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimW Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Need to finish off landing gear, next, and the ventral fin (folded in the right direction, of course). Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Looks great! Probably much harder to see tonal variations via pic VS IRL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Yes, the light isn't the best. It'll be more obvious once I do the sludge treatment! Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 I just want to say I find the Rube Goldberg main gear on this aircraft annoying. But I got them on! Some more small bits need to be added, then some touching up and gloss coat and decaling. Then the real work of detailing and weathering shall begin!

32scalelover Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Just curious as I just ordered a Flogger-K. Did you use any AM in the kit, or is it pretty much OOB? I was thinking about getting the Aires set for the kit, but wasn't sure if it was needed. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aires wheel wells and AM decals, but that's about it. Haven't worked on it lately. At Scout Camp this week with my boy, so I'll be ready to model when I get home!

32scalelover Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Tim, Thanks for the info. It looks great, and since I don't have the kit in hand at the moment I was curious. I figured if that was all out of the box, then I was not going to bother with AM. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 It builds up pretty nice OOB, but I can never help myself... Cheers, Tim W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
