You can see the effect of mottling. Tear & wear. My first ever. Not good enough. Noodle-masking took hours. Topside twice and whole underside. Otherwise, overspray may destroy the underside. Gonna touch up before painting exhaust. Still a long way to finish.
FYI, Russian su-33 fighters all have the same color schemes, but slightly different patterns. I’m doing #72 by Begemot decals. Every manufacturer is doing #80, supposedly the newest.
Also, su-33 is derived from su-27. They both look almost identical except su-33 has nose wings.
Finally primed the base paint. Now working on fine details and base part construction. Next update will be when this step is finished before a matte clear coat.
Only for primer and base coat. Even then I trimmed off all but one branch from each piece and initial sanded. Also since I’m kit bashing two kits I’ve built before I know where the least visible nubs will be. I’m actually removing the parts I’m using now and evening out the odd spots with a small amount of thinner.
use masking tape and multiple light layers of paint. That way, you will get sharp edges and an even look in the paint. If you used acrylic paint, you can use a cuetip + some water to fix the edges. If you used enamel paint, you can use enamel thinner + cuetip to clean the edges. The edges can also be lightly chipped away and straightened with the…[Read more]

I don’t know, it just looks awesome for some reason! I love green grunt suits, and the best parts about those looks carry over to the Sinanju as well. And I think you’ve given me an idea. Maybe I’ll get an HG Revive Hyaku Shiki and make a green one!
Make sure you fill out the official final entry form if you have not already. It’s at the bottom of the rules page I think. That’s where you need front/back and two sides shots plus whatever other shots you want to submit.
Started the water slide decal work on my VF-31C. While it’s not my first time using decals, it’s definitely the first time I’m using solutions like mark setter and softener to get better results. So far so good!
WIP # 2 Finished hand painting the inner frames. Must say the details is really great for just the inner frames for this kit, kind of sad to cover it all with the armors 🙁
Next up will be to build the armor and panel line… stay tuned for WIP # 3
Dry fit only. Purposefully not gluing the stabilizers for easy masking and painting the exhaust.
I like the colors. It’s going to look pretty cool!
I like it, reminds me of those old ring raiders plane camos.
Oooh! I had that orange and black tiger looking F5 (I think). Ah, memories.
Cool!!.
Thanks for the compliments.
