Important, when adding a quinta studio set, you have to work both instructions, the model one and the quinta one side by side to see, where to remove the detail‘s from the plastic.

Frontgear Bay with the sliding hatch to enter the cockpit. You can build it, that the hatch is working but i keep it closed, because there is nothing behind it. ?

Here i tried greenstuff for the first time to imitate the cover i seen in some images but i didnt liked the result so i took it of.

![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/4/4/9/1592449-128145-65-720.jpg)
Painted the interior with the Russian Cockpit color from akan. The color is extrem thick and doesnt like the ak thinner so i try Tamiya the next time.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/4/4/7/1592447-128145-37-720.jpg)
The akan color is darker then the quinta parts
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/4/4/8/1592448-128145-48-720.jpg)
First steps are done. The Quinta studio decals are everytime awesome.

The cockpit is evolving
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/8/3/9/1593839-128145-36-720.jpg)
First seat done, looks awesome.

The rudder pedals are really nice.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/0/1/6/1601016-128145-98-720.jpg)
There is no clear part for the hud so i used microscale kristal clear. Love that stuff.
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/0/1/7/1601017-128145-65-720.jpg)
Cockpit is done so far.

The Hobby Boss nose had to go
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/3/2/4/1602324-128145-52-720.jpg)
The new nose from quickboost, first time for me to cut a model and quickboost has no instructions where to cut so i had a massive gap.
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/3/2/5/1602325-128145-63-720.jpg)
But greenstuff safed it, now i leave it to dry and then i can smooth it.
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/2/6/5/1606265-128145-74-720.jpg)
It‘s coming together.

First time using akan colors, they are unbelieveable thick but with Tamiya thinner it worked ok for the first try.
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/5/1/8/1611518-128145-71-720.jpg)
The intakes from Hobby Boss sukhois always suck. Doesnt fit at all.
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/5/2/0/1611520-128145-83-720.jpg)
Little AK extreme metal for the nozzle.

First Color is on
![Album image #40 Album image #40](/albums/img/9/3/6/1614936-128145-56-720.jpg)
First try with the DN masking, it’s ok but the instruction could be better. Still need some work for a good paintjob. But now letting it dry.
![Album image #41 Album image #41](/albums/img/7/3/6/1615736-128145-42-720.jpg)
The akan colors need alot of thinning, mr. Hobby and Tamiya thinner didnt work well. The best for me was the AK thinner.

First coat of varnish is on, now comes the worst part…. Decals decals decals
![Album image #45 Album image #45](/albums/img/7/0/9/1626709-128145-93-720.jpg)
I have some silvering problems with the begemot decals. Even with Micro Sol and set. I tried a trick from the internet to solve the problem.
![Album image #46 Album image #46](/albums/img/7/1/0/1626710-128145-87-720.jpg)
Used Mr. Color leveling thinner and the result is quite good. On the other side i need a little repaint…. Used a little to much 🙁 but fixable
![Album image #47 Album image #47](/albums/img/5/8/7/1629587-128145-95-720.jpg)
Upperside and both sides are done with all the marking stuff, now the undersite.
The decals are way to ''bright''? In RL Images you can barely see the markings…

We have decals on yeah, begemot had some wrong numbers or missing decals in the instructions but i figured it out.
![Album image #49 Album image #49](/albums/img/4/1/8/1635418-128145-57-720.jpg)
The red Star on the left wing is the second one, on all decals i used Tamiya mark fit super strong but the red decals had an extrem reaction to it and completly crumblet together and didnt recover.
![Album image #50 Album image #50](/albums/img/4/2/0/1635420-128145-37-720.jpg)
Then i used Micro Sol and it worked good.
![Album image #51 Album image #51](/albums/img/4/2/1/1635421-128145-90-720.jpg)
Ah and we have wheels, the landing gear is a bit tilted backwards so the front wheel from the main landing gear is a little bit floating but i will find a solution.

Little update, someone tought it would be a good idea to grab the model by its nose to take a closer look and tore off all the sensors………and not telling me, instead throwing the parts away.
I bought the cold war Studio nose because it has all the sensors and also the A312 antenna.

Nice progress, I also like the aftermarket you have there!
How is the overall experience with the resin replacements? Anything specific to look out for?

Thank you guys, for me is it the first time using resin aftermarket products but they are really good. Only the nose i messed up a little bit because i did not cut perfect.
The APU set from cws is fantastic

Nice progress DuperScale, beautiful colors...but what do you mean by the Tamiya and Gunze thinners didn't work well...? Do you mean together with the AK paint?

![](/profiles/img/128145-891-s.jpg)
Thanks jos, with the gunze and Tamiya thinner the akan Color dryed on the nozzle of the airbrush. The AK interaktiv thinner worked fine with the colors from akan, for me at least.

Again, great progress, looking very menacing already! 👍
What where the numbering issues you encountered with the Begemot decals?

![](/profiles/img/128145-891-s.jpg)
Thanks guys, @Alexander overall there just little failures in the instructions. The decal is with number XXX is obviously not the one shown in the instruction or there 4 times number XXX but only 2 times on the decal sheed because its not 4 times XXX, it is 2 times XXX and 2 times XY.
But it is really only on small decals and from 100 decals is maybe 1 fail.

That is a real beauty. The colour and the camo together are an amazing combo.

Phänomenal Su-34. You did it really well. 👍👍👍👍
I would also like to have a Su-34 as a kit, I like this aircraft and it is missing from my collection (I am a fan of the Su-27 and its derivatives), but I find the kits ( in 1/48 scale ) very expensive and disproportionate in price , which is why I haven't bought one yet. 🙁

Amazing result, very clean paintjob and good weathering! 👍
Also great photography together with the base, it really adds to the realism/effect (such as pic. 78). 👍
