Thank you. Now I have work to complete the details of the landing gear and the interior of the landig gear space and airbrakes. These components are not part of the kit. I'll use accessory kits and I'll have to make some details.

After a short break, I continue working. Today I worked on improving the front landing gear leg.

Thank you :-D . It's an old kit. I'm trying to correct his shortcomings. And I can admit that I enjoy it a lot 🙂 .

I saw that plane in a museum and I remember the landing gear was extremely complex. I think yours is almost perfect.

One hardly ever sees this gem of days passed and today I stumble upon 2!
Very nice work, the big-ed pack really helps big-time to wash away the years... Looking forward to you crossing the finish line! 👍

to Agustin:
Yes, the Sukhoi landing gear is complicated. The kit is very schematic and non-model. I try to give the landing gear on my model as realistically as possible.

Thank you Slavo! It is already a very old set. The detail sets helped me a lot to rejuvenate the set. But there are still a lot of small parts that I have to do. But it's part of modeling and I like it 🙂

Gentlemen, thank you for your support :-D
I continue to add details. Now I'm working on the details of the interior of the air brakes. It goes slowly, the parts are small and I have to make them all 4 times.

Are the cracks one the yellow paint made on purpose? So as to reflect the temporary nature of the bands?

Yes, that was my intention. The yellow stripes on the fuselage and wings were painted with water-washable paint and served as an identification of the "enemy" for the duration of the military exercise. Immediately after painting under the stripes, the original color shone through. And due to weather conditions and atmospheric humidity, the stripes gradually washed away.
