      Flanker B Build 1/48 scale

      Here is my progress so far copied from a few threads...... It's turning out to be alot of fun



      Just got started on a couple of resin cockpits.... Flanker cockpit is the Aires one... and the Mig-21 MF is a cheap black box cockpit I picked up for $5 at a show... Im doing a Flanker build with a few guys on this forum..... and just doing the Mig 21 cockpit for some practice before starting my 1/32 scale one.....

      Paints are by AKAN... they spray really nice as long as you thin them with DI water.... DONT use Alcohol or windex with them....











      Got a little more progress done..... sorry about the pic quality I didnt have a chance to fix white balance and exposure issues with software yet..... THese are the white metal landing gear... painted with dark anodic gray metalizer(lower) and Gunze engine gray (upper) the metal gear from SAC was a pleasure to work with....


      finally git the quickboost nose to fit flush.... it was a little larger by 1.13 mm ... so I glued it then mated them and rescribed..... I will start priming the exterior tonigbht... cheers













      A little more progress... got my preshading done.... yes a bit messier than some of you guys.. but I have found a method I like..... using both black and white primer for my preshading.... It kind of helps give that scale effect....









      Got my Steel heat shields done on the engines and gun..... I used Alclad (Steel, Pale Burnt Metal, Stainless Steel, Magnesium, Hot metal Sepia, Blue, and Violet, and transparent smoke.... then coated with alclad light sheen.. I was horrified to see the paint chip on the left engine Ive got to fix that . then cure before i mask and start the splinter scheme..... Doing Ukrainian Red 56 Last pic is the missles AA-10 from Eduard Brassin,..... I just laid down the titanium metalizer for the control surfaces.... then I will shoot white amd airframe aluminun .... cheers

      This is looking rather special. I love the heat staining and that/those cockpits are amazing!

      I presume this is the Academy kit? If so. Excellent. I have this in my stash

      Thanks all...... yes its the Academy kit..... there were some fit issues but I just took my time with it and did ALOT of sanding , filling, and rescribing... Ive been kind of putting this one off because well... i was afraid of it(got alot into aftermarket on this one) and I didnt want to blow it.... so I just slowed down...(a month in or so).... I just masked off the heat shields and Im starting laying down the base coat....

      Ukrainian late bird circa 2001 ish..... I decided not to model a particular serial number since Im missing Blue 56 in this scale but im doing the second paint job put on blue 56 in 2001 for the Ukrainian demo team..... Its a really bright splinter....almost Khazakstan bright,....

      Armament will be 2 Alamo AA-10 IR homing and 2x AA-10 active radar (Eduard Brassin kits) and 2x R-8 rocket pods..... 2x Sorbitsya Jamming pods (wingtips) and 2x Archer short range radar....

      The Flanker is hands down my favorite jet....and I plan on doing the UB in Etrician livery next... then doing the trumpter big one....

      More pics coming soon ... thanks again

      Lovely job Marc, my favourite aircraft too, I did the Trumpeter 1/32 so I hope you have a lot of shelf space, look forward to seeing the finished bird. Cheers Derek
