Superb model and beautiful photography!

I also want ro build one, but these Su-27/-33 etc. series aircraft are just huge, even in 1:72.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Seyid, honestly I was not too impressed with the quality of the kit. Considering it is quite modern and all I ran into some fitting issues. There were also many inaccuracies considering some details and parts. The main carriage is simplified, I worked on it about three weeks alone. All in all it is okay I would say, a solid B-

BTW good luck trying to get one, I was fortunate enough to grab mine in 2019 I think when they were available. Now KH is out of business and I have seen these Kits on eBay for around 400€

Really nice work Alexander. Kitty Hawk always had a bad wrap for instruction errors and fit issues and normally deserved. I had issues in the bucket load with the SU-35 and F-35B, so i have an idea of the pain you went through. Great project and thanks for sharing.

Thx Gary and Pipeman86!

I had the Su-35 in my stash but decided to sell it and to get a GWH kit. They seem to be on another level just by glancing over the parts. Maybe just maybe I will try and get one of them Su-22s just because there is no alternative except the ancient KP kit

Grom
Looks great. What paints did you use?
26 September, 19:25
Alexander Grivonev
Thx Grom. I used Mr. Paint lacquers. Usually I work with Tamiya acrylics but these are also great. They had the 3 main Su-34 camo shades already mixed so I gave them a try. The colors are spot on, I just added some white to match the scale effect and fading.

Alexander Grivonev
Initially I bought the Su-34 set from Hataka but the colors didn't match at all to my taste. Way too green.

Album info

I always liked the looks of this cute but deadly bird and wanted to build one for ages. Especially because of the gorgeous blue-green camouflage. Luckily I was able to get a Kitty Hawk kit a couple of years ago when they were still available for a reasonable price. The project took almost 1 year from start to finish and I used an obscene amount of aftermarket parts and did a good amount of detailing myself. Anyway, here is the result...enjoy!
