Chebourashka at Soviet Air Force

[ShelbyGT500 2,590]

Hello my friends

This is AN-72P at 1/72 scale of TOKO.

I started this birdy many years ago and it is the only one abandoned project   Why? Horrible plastic material, raised panel lines and no rivets . .. no details, horrible manual , etc etc

So now it is time to put on the helmet and the body-armor and finish the Chebourashka:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is one of the examples at this $%^t - the window clear part of the left-side door:

 

 

But we will fix it

 

Ok guys, thanks for watching as always and Cheers

Pretty cool. The Russians build some odd looking aircraft

Very cool!

I think the Russians had a seaplane/flying boat with similar engine config

That is an extremely odd aircraft, keep the updates coming.

And the next update

The door is fixed and detailed :

 

 

 

Well if the door will be open, we need a ladder:

 

 

The wheels from the kit are horrible - soft rubber , the "rims" - far from the truth, so I will use the resin wheels:

 

 

Also scratched antennas, pitot tubes and screen-washers:

 

 

 

Well that is for now

Cheers guys.

Looking forward to more of this kind of work here. Awesome!

And it is painting time - first black primer, light the panels with some white, pre-shade the panel lines whit nato brown.

 

 

 

And start with bottom side - aluminum, some hair spray and salt. After 20 minutes first layer of dark blue for pre-shade, after that the main light grey-blue color.

 

 

 

 

When it dries completely I will cover al with high diluted main color.

 

Also start with other parts:

 

 

 

 

Thanks for watching guys.

Cheers

Hi friends,

continue with the upper side of Chebourashka - camo with 50K shades of green :) :) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the weathered lower side of the camo:

 

 

 

 

 

Well that is for now. The bird is sealed with gloss clear for decals work.

When all decals will be on place, we will continue with upper weathering ;)

Cheers guys

[ShelbyGT500 2,590]

Next step - decals, sealing, weathering, sealing:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Till the next update friends

Cheers
