Here's the completed Red Wild Weasel! All fitted out to rain terror on the capitalist dogs. This was a thoroughly enjoyable build and I hope you enjoy the finish.

Slavo Hazucha
Very nice job with a lot of attention to the small details on the plane and ordnance 👍 I stand by my build comment that I especially like the upper grey/engine metal combination, that really hits the mark in tone and feeling for the Chinese Flankers!

Glad to hear you confirm the kit too - the results indicate it well enough. I think HB on its later jet molds makes a really good job on the surface panels. Catching the lining just fine, but thin and shallow enough to not look overblown in the end. Especially the underside of the wing on pic 9 - just the right amount of realistic accent.

Daniel
this one is looking really deadly and mean, very nicely done 👍

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks Slavo & Daniel! 🙂

Slavo: I'd have to say this one was fairly straightforward build and mostly a breeze to finish. Any hiccups or errors you see are certainly my fault (the slight canopy alignment issue).

Daniel: Yes I really like the armament! It is what inspired the build for sure. Once I saw the YJ-91 (KH-31 copy) I knew I had to do a Wild Weasel.

Oh and a special thanks to the Trumpeter J-10 kit for providing the Chinese air-to-air missiles and the correct yellow numbers.

Jos Jansen
Just like Roland, very good reference build. Nice model Nathan, you can see the dedication in your craftsmanship...👍!

Michael Phillips
Awesome work Nathan! Love the weathering and paintwork too. The colorful Chinese markings really "POP" against the dark gray paint. Very appealing scheme choice, well done!

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks so much Roland, Jos, and Michael 🙂 🙂 🙂

James C
It looks amazing Nathan. The discoloration you've done to the paintwork is impressive. 👍

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks James!

I had decent pre-shading and the airbrush was treating me well when I laid down the grey.

Cristian A
Outstanding work! The weathering and panel lines look fantastic!

I have this kit in my stash too, and it's great to hear that everything fits together nicely. Could you share which paint you used for the gray on the upper part? Thanks so much!

Great job!

Mr James
Beautiful beautiful work Nathan. Excellent airbrushing skill on show.

Nathan Dempsey
Thank you very much Cristian & Mr James!

Cristian: The upper color was Tamiya XF-53 Neutral Grey with a little XF-63 German Grey mixed in to darken it just a bit.

Dutch
Woohoo! Another stunner! Nathan. You are really hitting them out of the park. Beautiful work.

Desert Marlin
The lines are excellent! The shading is perfect!!!

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks Dutch & Desert Marlin! 🙂

Me too.

Zsolt Czegle
Hello Bohrmann and Michael!

Zsolt Czegle
A little progress again with the reels and coils...

Michael Kohl
Is it a conversion or a full kit? I had very good experiences with Snake Models. How is this kit? Does it come with instructions of where to put hoses and cables or did you have to research that yourself?

Villiers de Vos
A very unique project.

Zsolt Czegle
Michael: This is a full resin kit casted of a awesome resin. This is my second kit from Aleksei and I'm very statisfied with it.

There is a little scheme how and where to "attach" the hoses (photo nr.7). I couldn't find any photos in internet because this is an unique vehicle and only one prototype was produced but never ordered by the Soviet Army.

Watching your build progress always makes me thinking of also doing these kind of stuff ... one day I will do it - do you then try a plane model? 😂
