Dukie99 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 9 hours ago, BradG said: Good work. I see you have exactly the same fit of the canopy and the gun access hatch as I did, they just don't quite fit perfectly. Hi Brad, I plan to pose the cockpit open so the not perfect fit does not both me. For the gun access hatch, I will pretend it is soviet style fit... joking aside when you look at some pictures of 1/1 Su-25, there are a number of panels where they could have used some putty... cheers, David BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom2 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 How could I miss this one! Your build is utterly excellent all the way! I get a lot of inspiration from Your build! Cheers! Stefan Dukie99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 That's my theory too David! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Slowly but surely we are getting close. Underside weathered and landing gears installed. Need to weather the wheels though. Pitots have been installed. I think I will be able to finish this one before end of December and I am looking forward to the next GB (Eastern front) because I plan to build the Su-25 grand daddy, the Il-2M3 in a tank hunting configuration.

BradG Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Very nice...and you managed to close your main gear doors. For some reason I couldn't get mine to close without surgery. Ah well, nice work mate. Dukie99 and Out2gtcha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokey Pete Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 That's looking really cool. I'm not much of a fan of the Frogfoot, but that camo' scheme seams to make it pop. Dukie99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Thanks guys for the kind words. I am on the home stretch. Loading her up with the gun pods and the rocket pods. Dumb bombs and AA missile to follow. Cheers, David nicolas96, BradG, Out2gtcha and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 And it is finished. Aside from the major let down of screwing up the bort number due to careless masking (I now pretend it is heavily weathered...), I am happy to call this one done. I think it is a very good Trumpeter kit with lots a good aftermarket available. I could be tempted to build another one (in a few years...) Some picks and then I will move on to the Eastern Front GB with another sturmovik.
