chrish Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 (edited) All....all I could find so far paint problems have been fixed and the Zacto pylons and engines added. Without weapons added the Zacto pylons are almost mandatory for the details they add when the business side of the pylon is exposed. Again, keep in mind, I strive for mediocrity That's all for now Thanks for looking Edited March 10 by chrish Kagemusha, Fanes, Martinnfb and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 I've added the last few bits and pieces to the Su tonight, still a couple of pieces missing (antennas) and I'll need to get hold of some stencil decals. While I do strive for mediocrity the Trumpeter stencil decals are merely red lines on a yellow back ground...even I couldn't get passed them. So, hopefully stencil markings will some day become available (maybe some red star kill markings??) and I'll re-visit the decalling at that time. For now...tah dahhhhhh.... I think it's finished. This one will be suspended from the ceiling doing an airshow maneuver and his older brother Thats all for now Thanks for the opportunity to build and post here, I doubt I'd have ever finished it if not for the SOD group build Thanks for looking Landrotten Highlander, Hartmann352, Alain Gadbois and 12 others 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokey Pete Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 That’s looking pretty darned good buddy. Great work. On the Stencils front, let me check my spares stack, I MAY have a set of Begemot stencils floating around. I can’t recall if I saved anything from my build.

panzerrob Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Congrats with this beautiful build, this is my favorite Su in weeks. I do like the idea of red star kill marks!!!! Rob MARU5137 and chrish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Finished and mounted (not permanently) on a stand for a Zvezda 1/144 B-777 which I figured may just be strong enough to support the thing.

Martinnfb Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Looking great Chris, if I may a suggestion?, I would change the base for a solid wooden one with a print of speeding runway underneath to give it even more dramatic touch. Great show. Cheers Martin MARU5137 and chrish 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
