this sounds like quite a fun and unique idea

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks LC76. Welcome to the build!

Torsten
LOL, follow ^^

Robert Podkoński
Watching for sure!

Nathan Dempsey
Welcome Torsten & Robert!
I've started the fuselage assembly and clamps were needed.

Dutch
Nathan, I am following along as well. I have friends in eastern Ukraine, so very interested in this one. Kind regards, Dutch

Nathan Dempsey
Welcome Dutch! This build is turning into a slog. Clamps and super-glue "force-holds" galore. Luckily it is a tiny plane so I'm nearly done already, just completing all the seam sanding.

Nathan Dempsey
Working on the cowl. I had to use 2-part epoxy clay to fill a large gap on the bottom of the cowl that was created by making the cowl fit straight & level.

Nathan Dempsey
Working on masking the camo pattern today.

Dutch
Looking good. Keep up the progress. The splinter pattern will be stupendous when done.

Nathan Dempsey
Thanks Dutch! Man I just realized looking at pictures that the wing camo is a mirror image for the other wing. It won't be perfect… 😁

Ben M
Ah, amodel 🙂

Dutch
Ben, I feel you!

Nathan Dempsey
Welcome to the show Ben! I've applied the first color today. Now off to cut masks for the next color. I've been spoiled by those pre-cut masks…

Dutch
Nathan, quick question. Why not just spray the first color overall, then mask only the subsequent colors? Saves at least one step, I should think. Carry on. I am enjoying the show.

Nathan Dempsey
In this case I just got a little too happy masking. I even decided against my usual preshade since this plane's paint looks really new in all the pictures.

Dutch
Yeah, I can understand the excitement factor!

Dutch
Nathan, are you going to put kill markings on it?

karatel
Thank you, Neil!

Eric Thornton
Very interesting whatif, nice job!

Clifford Keesler
Very nice viper.

karatel
Thank you. It was a challenge for me. I had to design everything on my own, including decals. Some of them were printed at www.meliusmanu.pl , some of them are my own home-made inkjet decals. BTW, I tried lots of decal papers to print at home and found that Expert Choice decals are the best (from those which were available in Europe). Unfortunately I don't have a decent camera to make pictures, in real life it looks even better 🙂

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Cool subject! Nicely done. 👍

Arif Saeed
Great scheme, love it 👏👏

Finn
Fantastic build, Karatel. And I really wish that you had a whole lot of them IRL. Slava Ukraini!
