Chris Reimann
Very nice and clean build!

Christian W
This came out so good. I'm jealousy about your fricking awesome clear coats.
The color of the interior looks pretty good instead of black as usual.

Neuling

Welcome gentlemen

It is like a duck

Skyhiker
Yeah, it's a bit like the Su-34, just a little less flat.

DerMattes
Watching 👍

Skyhiker
Hi, DerMattes, welcome.

Guy Rump
Following. 👍

Skyhiker
Wings are on and surface details beginning.

Mr D
Coming along nicely 👍👍 More building 🤣 going ahead,
Smart and interesting aircraft, lm going to have to research n watch some YouTube videos on this aircraft.
Like the cockpit 👌

Mr D
Watching a YouTube video on the Berkut now, interesting aircraft 🤔 ..

Skyhiker
Yeah, it's kinda cool. Certainly it's different from the other Russian planes in looks.

Skyhiker
Worked on more details today.

Mr D
Better job on the nose shaping now, it was probably quite dependent on front aero due to wing position and design.
Could help with sonic boom too ??

Skyhiker
Infrared search scanner attached and corrected.

Skyhiker
Weapons bay constructed.

Mr D
Was the bay missed off on the kit ??

Skyhiker
Yes, the kit was made before the plane was seen up close.

Mr D
Ahh probably from airshow viewing ect they probably wanted to keep alot secret.
You will do it justice as usual I'm sure.
Thanks 👍👍

Cuajete
Great job so far 👍

Mr D
Nice to get it right 👍
Was it a Zvezda kit originally??

Skyhiker
Yes, Zvezda put it out in the 90's sometime after the plane's first flight on September 1997. It's not a bad kit but a few adjustments are needed.

Skyhiker
Vertical stabilizers corrected.

Alexander Grivonev
What a cool experimental plane, nice improvements👍

Skyhiker
Thanks Alexander, I just hope I can do it justice. Every model is still a new learning experience for me.

Cuajete
Much better with your improvements, Skyhiker 👌.
Do you know if the HobbyBoss tool is more accurate than Zvezda one?

Skyhiker
Cuajete, I looked at the instructions for the HobbyBoss and I don't think that there is much of a difference. It might be a bit better but I wouldn't count on it being accurate.

Skyhiker
After watching the review on the HobbyBoss kit I can definitely say they are very similar. HobbyBoss did correct a few things such as the landing gear doors which are a little bit better but still not correct, their decals are better although not 100% accurate. They also seem to have added a few small details that I haven't seen on the original plane and are probably fictional. The nose is still not correct even though on their box art it is and are they are missing the weapons bay. So, I wouldn't say that either kit is better.

Mr D
It's worth giving these different techniques a try, if it works it's a good learning curve for you and others, nothing ventured nothing gained.
I looked at the HB kit it would probably have some advantages, but front would need to correcting at very least.
Always fun to watch you build 😀👍

Cuajete
Thank you, Skyhiker and Sr. D 👍
