Just a note, Vallejo pastel blue is a very good match for the KA-27 interior after researching the real cockpit and experimenting with many grey blue colors from Vallejo. I would recommend Vallejo 70.901. This picture was taken to show the color on the cockpit floor. I am still waiting for the aftermarket cockpit seats before I go any further in my build.

Brilliant 👍👍 l like Velejo paints, l purchased the big main colours box and can mix almost any colour out of them.
The white and yellow is only letdown as very low in pigment!!
I purchase AK Intense white and yellow and they .. knock it out the park.. Brilliant.
I'm building a HB at min and it's not giving me accurate paint colours! Also some areas n parts no paint colour mentioned! Good old internet to the rescue.
Good luck with it..nice project 👍👍

Yeah thats the one thing I dislike about the Chinese kits, very little paint callouts and no data on the units in the decal options offered. You really have to dig real data to find out and while it can be fun and a learning lesson. I bet a lot of modelers find it annoying. These companies need to do better for the price of kits these days.

I got this kit for a reduced price on a flea-market - due to the fact that the cockpit and seat were missing. The former owner spoiled it or put it aside - I don't know exactly. But it wouldn't be me not taking this challenge. Lets go and scratch an Eurofighther cockpit...

Łukasz Gliński
Interesting challenge

Juergen Klinglhuber
thx for your interest Lukasz. I joint the fuselage last night & the cockpit did fit 🙂
pics will follow soon.

Excellent cockpit, following! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hi mates - thank you for your nice words on my scratch work. Time consuming - but It came along nicely and better than I did expect.

Michael Kohl
Following too.

Robert Podkoński
A little late, but watching with pleasure 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber
Welcome. No worries - it's summertime again (progress is slow ... 😉 )

Harry Eder
Nice scratched cockpit! Watching with interest! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Harry. Welcome.

As the cockpit is done I have to catch up with the Eurofighter Typhoon - "Austrian Typhoons" 7L*WB | Album by jott (1:72) build which is almost done. Beside livery the kit is 1:1 the same, so making up leeway isn't that hard I hope.

Nice work so far! I had the same issue with the warped vertical stabiliser on this kit.

finished painting the AT gun crew today

Thomas Wirsching
Project finished😊👍

Kate Ward
Nice! What did you use for the grass?

Mathias Decommere
That grass is very convincing!

Thomas Wirsching
Thank you Kate and Mathias. That gras diorama piece was from dennisminiaturesdesign.de/shop/diorama/ a german producer of 3d printed figures and some other stuff. I´ve bought it from Modellbau König in Germany. I am not sure if they still carry it. I was not overly impressed as I had to cut quite substantial parts of the corners because the grass was applied irregularly there and looked ugly. I got a discount for that by the dealer and kept it for a while didn´t knew what to do with it until I decided for this diorama.. For this small scenario it did fit perfectly 😊

Guy Rump
Great dio, figures are excellent! 👍

Doubtingmango
The grass certainly looks great after you finished with it, and those figures are stunning!

Neuling
Very good diorama and photography. A realistic and dynamic scene.

Shar Dipree
Looks great!
