Exhaust nozzle redone to satisfaction, weathered & installed. Airframe touch-up completed. All but landing gear, pylons and ordnance has been gloss coated and curing for 1 week. So no WIP on those, but on later parts.
It’s not done yet. Next would be panel line wash & then decals, and then flat coat. Finally final touch-up & weathering, then flat coat again. The metallic were Alclad, but the primer wasn’t good enough. Alclad ate into the plastic a bit. On top were acrylic metallics. I wanted to try layering Alclad with the final being copper. Next time perhaps. I do have another Zvesda su-33 with folding wings so the leftover upgrade parts won’t be wasted.

Gotta say that is looking really cool.
Thank you.

It really is.
Thanks.
Even if the entry doesn’t win me anything, I learned something. That’s worth the effort. You can quote me on this:

Man that looks amazing, can’t wait to see it finished.
