SU-27 Flanker B

John Dunbar
Dude, you are quick! 👍 🙂

Adam Gudynowski
Following!

Germen V
WOW, how is it according to the Academy

Bob Hou
I'm not a big sukhoi-fan, not sure if this kit's shape is right or not, but the nose section is definitely look better than Academy.

Germen V
ok no replacement parts fron Quickboost

Michael Phillips
Nice, gonna be following this too! I think it is funny, you just finished an F-15E, I just started an F-15E. You just started a Flanker, I just finished a Flanker. LOL

So what markings are you going to use? So many cool camo schemes out there for Flankers.

Bob Hou
Your flanker is superb! I haven't decide which scheme yet, any recommendation?

Michael Phillips
Thanks Bob!

My favorite Flanker schemes are Ukrainian. The Splinter camo and the Digital Camo both look really awesome, but a bit difficult. There are masks for both available though should you choose to go that route. Also, Indonesian flankers have a cool two tone gray camo. Then, of course, there is always the good ol' Russian light blue camo, which is always nice and can allow you to go crazy with weathering, as they sometimes can really look worn.

Bob Hou
Ukrainian's splinter camo is one of my favorite! but this time I want to make this flanker really worn and faded, I'll check others, too! Thanks, Michael. 🙂

Melf Boyens
Watching! How would you value the fitting of this kit?

David Barclay
Nice! I'm looking to add this kit to the heard....

David Barclay
Oh!I'll second the Indo Scheme!

David Barclay
Hey Bob! I just realized...... We're neighbors! I'm on Okinawa! Too Cool!

Bob Hou
Hey Melf, hobbyboss' flanker fits pretty well, no big gap, a good kit i'll recommend.

Hello David, Okinawa is so close! your works are great! going to follow your F-15E, i just finished my own.

Aghis Barberopoulos

David Barclay
Here's a Pic of a Indo SU-30 that came up to say hi to us last year on our way to Malaysia..... Their SU-27's are the same schemes....

Germen V
don't they have anything else to do, we were once intercepted by 3 Russian 27's on our way to Moscow DME, the captain faulted the set up from the transponder

Bart Goesaert
nice progress in the cockpit. Is the dome behind the seat scratchbuild?

Spanjaard
i am certainly in.

Jeff Owens
Looks really good, any more progress on your flanker

Gary Brantley
That's some beautiful work on those exhausts! 🙂 Great looking bird! 👍

Scott Dutton
Beautiful work on the painting, nice blotchy appearance

Adam Gudynowski
I like the paintjob and fading decals 🙂

Adam Gudynowski
@Bob how is the fitting? Did You compare it to Academy kit?

Ed Froix
so far realy nice, i follow

Aghis Barberopoulos
Convincing work on the fading, I like it.

Christian Ristits
Very nice - cockpit weathering looks awesome!

Dale Marston
Have this kit coming up soon on the build list any issues Bob? Looking Nice so far.

Bob Hou
Thanks for your following guys, here's the result, hope you like it!

Ed Froix
Well, i like it! 🙂

Bob Hou
Accuracy: Also some problem in this kit as Trumpy/Hobbyboss always, LOL
1.the angle/bulge of canopy might be higher, but it's not obvious for me, I choose to ignore it.

2.Spine, yes the shape and the angle of spine is a big flaw IMO, Hasegawa and Zeveda made the right shape in 72th. I pre-shade the spine parts darker to make it LOOK better(maybe)

3.The angle of wingtip and all pylons are all different, wingtip pylons point-up when parking, outer and inner pylons are all different angles, I fix it make all pylons in parallel line and all point-down.

4. Wheel-bays are wrong shape, but it's not obvious after finished, so I ignore it again, how lazy I'm mates.

Conclusion: Reasonable price and nice detail, also fits well, definitely recommend this kit even not a flanker fan, looking forward to Hobbyboss Su-34 in same scale, hope you guys enjoy my build. Cheers.

Christian Ristits

It Looks like you are not only gifted at building models but also at taking pictures! This perfectly built and painted Flanker Comes across even nicer with These great photos! Back to the model though. It is a real eyecatcher with lots of character! I really like the faded paint. How did you accomplish the faded decals? Anyway, great stuff and congrats on this build!
