Welcome Ben!
Work has started. Drilled holes in the lower wing for hardpoints and centerline fuel tank. Cockpit is nearly complete with photos soon since it will be nearly invisible once installed.

Added a shot of last night's work. The cockpit was installed and I'm ready to join the fuselage halves. The wheel well construction was also completed along with some paint work there.

Thanks Villiers!
Well I had to go and say "no issues at all" out loud… Funny that the cowling fit perfectly during dry fitting but once glue was applied a bit of sanding was needed to make it fit right. Also I painted the inside of the cowl Yellow Zinc Chromate even though the instructions barely mention anything other than the cowl and prop magically there on the last step.

Spent most of the morning sealing up the wheel wells and cockpit with tissue paper in preparation for primer and the initial color: AK Xtreme Aluminum.

You could have just started with the Hawk plated kit 😂 I'm thinking of trying chipping fluid on the prop but I will need to prime at least under the yellow tips.

That certainly would have cut a step out! I'm going to use the old hairspray method since I don't want to wait a week for chipping fluid.

Aluminum applied today. A little splotchy but luckily it's just an undercoat for chipping.

Much painting last night and today: I applied the hair-spray then the Dark Sea Blue & now the chipping begins.

Extreme wear indeed. Maybe they didnt use etching primer back in the black and white days 🙂. You've done an excellent job of it. If this effect can be achieved with the old trusted hairspray method, why would one buy the chipping fluid. Maybe there are advantages I'm unaware of.

Not a bad little kit, looks quite robust and not to complicated. The cockpit was definitely worth getting, was it easy to find ??
Looking good 👍👍👍

Mr James: The hairspray has an added bonus in that one can will last for MANY projects.
Mr D: The kit is available under the Academy boxing I believe. As for the cockpit I believe it is still easy enough to find online.

Today I added the landing gear and the drop tank. The drop tank is not seen much in my photos, but I thought it looked nice. Decals are also done, so now it comes down to more weathering and exhaust stains.

Added a shot of the continuing weathering. Today I added the radio antenna wire. The last step is painting and weathering the bombs.

Nathan, beuatiful work on this iconic aircraft. I love the weathering and paint chipping / fading. Truly authentic. Well done sir! Can't wait to see what's next.

Thanks Dutch! This was a fun little build. The next official project is the Mirage 2000, although I always have others going on the side lol!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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!

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.

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?

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? 😂
