Phantom2 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Hi all! Late as usual, but here´s my build for the twin-einginge GB; It´s slightly started, tough. Here´s what I have done; …and there´s a LOT still left in the box; Hope it´s OK, I´d say around 25% done. To be continued… Cheers!

Phantom2 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Hi all! Time to get this build rolling…. I´m starting with cleaning up the AIRES Cockpit, Trump´s ain´t bad, but the detail can´t keep up with the AIRES one. Aires parts; Hud/Instrumentpanel; Side wall parts; Seat and tub, I changed the seat for a Quickboost one, I prefer painting the seatbelts instead of trying to fold some etched parts. Detail in the tub is incredible, so much detail, some of the best I ever have seen… Just watch the wall behind the seat! Almost a crime to have the seat in place, obscuring the wonderful details! Aires instrument panel is the old-school etch and acetate, but I´m gonna use a pre-painted panel from Eduard. I don´t like the rubber wheels you get in the kit so I´ll use these from Fisher Models instead; Lovley detail…. First a primer, Alclad Black Microfiller…. …and we are rolling!

BradG Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 That is a really nice resin set. I settled on having mine OOB (apart from the added intake covers), as you said, the trumpeter cockpit isn't bad, but that detail is insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Do you think it needs any weight in the nose? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom2 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Me neither, but I loaded her up with as much weight I could (I´m quite a bit ahead of the tread and have just closed up the fuselage....), just to be sure. I hate tailsitters! If you use the metal gears, It sure can hold it. Stefan E Edited August 31, 2019 by Phantom2 BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom2 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Hi all! The nose gear well assembled; Trumpeter kindly have included metal-reinforced landing gears, this will hold the model securely! Flickr The nose-gear is supplied in two sections (base and gear) so i can glue the base now and leave the gear for later. But we can do a dry-run, just for the joy of it! Trumpy´s Engine-parts looks fine; ---but they can´t compete with Aires, even the weld-seams inside the cans are there! Engines completed, many parts here…. Intake- and exhaust fans are super detailed by Aires! Engines, exhausts and intakes done; The cockpit is painted with MRP-195, Sukhoi Cockpit Blue-Grey; The details really pops out now! Side panels; More to come soon… Stefan Edited September 6, 2019 by Phantom2 Fvdm, LSP_Kevin, gmctaggart and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom2 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Hi All! The wheels are primed with Alclad Black Microfiller (ABMF) and then painted with the lurid green color the Russians use for the rims; The burner cans were primed with ABMF and then painted with Alclad steel, burnt metal, exhaust manifold and several more colors. The engines were primed with ABMF and then painted with Alclad Aluminium at the front and the rear part got some Alclad steel. I`ll give them a wash later, but I´m not gonna put in too much work here as they won´t ever be seen again. Painting of the details in the cockpit have begun, there´s a lot to do here, and here it WILL be seen! The side panels got the treatment too; More to come soon…. Cheers!
