Su-25M Ukraine
The fuselage as seen with its now complete friend.
Wings added.
Etch parts for the gunsight and covers. Part it replaced below.
Drop tank with new etch winglets.
Started work on the Reskit wheel set.
Front of the rockets with added decal stripes.
Load out is a mix of US and Soviet era weapons.
We have a big problem here.
A shot of a real aircraft with the custom pylon. Reminds me of a slightly modified A-7 pylon.
Carved out a notch in the nose for some sort of optic on the real aircraft.
Large etched part for the cannon vents.
No turning back now…
Added the extra chaff/flare dispensers near the exhausts.
Test fitting the Master pitot tubes after drilling the holes in the nose.
A long road to walk begins here.
Main camouflage colors applied. Semi-accurate ?
Ukrainian National colors on the bottom to tame those trigger happy AA gunners.
More ID colors on the tail.
FoF identification bands on the wing root. The Blue & Gold of course.
Decal application has started.
Weathering work on the fuel tanks & pylons.
The NATO compatible plylon shown with the ones I made.

Added an album for the Su-25M Ukraine build. Today is more work on the cockpit area in preparation for closing it up. Actually closing it up will be delayed until a new kit arrives since the front canopy was a bad mold.

Work continues. Today I shaped a very large etched part for the cannon vents and the carved the kit to make it flush. This is the largest etched part I have ever attempted to use.

Took a full day of work to apply all the camo colors. Now for the Ukrainian flag colors applied to the belly, tail, and wing leading edges.

Thank you very much mates. I'm very humbled by such praise from a group of excellent modelers.
CaptGPF: The Foxbot masks were excellent!

Ukrainian national colors added to the belly, tail, wings, and fuel tanks. A duel use of boosting national pride and taming those trigger happy AA gunners.

Work continues. Today the decal application has started. I am very pleased with the Kagero decals depicting the exact plane in my research photos. My only problem is that the Kagero set did not include the rather unique intake & ejector seat warnings. So now the entire project is at a halt until another set of decals arrive.

Final parts being completed. Today I worked on the NATO compatible pylon as used on the Su-25. Mine isn't perfect, but close enough.

Thanks Clifford. I was very pleased with the camo once complete. I really want to try the Ukrainian Su-24 now.
