rom Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 And some pics of building: If you have any comments or questions, don't hesitate!! bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 So is it a what-if trainer Su-35? A Russian AF Su-30? Either way... ;) Looks sweet and clean, excellent job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zark Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 First of all the aircraft model is a beauty, obviously you know the "art of modelling". Now I will have to agree with the previous comment that it looks like a Su-30 similar to the ones given to India. Since I have built something similar - Su-30Mkk Chinese Air Force - using the two-seater from Academy and a lot of scratchbuilding and hard work - I wonder how did you built the foreplanes, they don't look like the Sol conversion but they still look excellent...

rom Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Thanks Sv! It's not a whatif, but a prototype: look here, at the end of the page; http://www.mars.slupsk.pl/fort/sukhoi/su-30-ru1.htm 1. In 2000 very specific hybrid aircraft was prepared, converted from serial from serial Su-30MKK (serial number 80-08), with aid of a huge and advanced computer-aided design; first flight 08.2000. It's a tandem two-seat multirole fighter called Su-30M3 (please remember that Su-30MK2 it's a prototype in Su-30 upgrade program, known as Su-30KN). Produced by KnAAPO using advanced airframe with canard forewings (Irkutsk), but equiped with cheaper avionics of Su-30MKK (Komsomolsk-on-Amur) - rare example of the cooperation between rivals. Aircraft was in 2000 proposed to China but PLAAF was not interested. 2. Then aircraft was rebuilt. Equiped with avionics of the Su-35 (export version of Su-27M) and combat capabilities similiar to indian Su-30MKI, With designation Su-35UB was used for some marketing purposes, especially for promote Su-35 in tenders in South Korea (tender for 40 fighters) and Brasilia (24 fighters). Sukhoi Su-35 failed both tenders in 2002, so aircraft is used to test new avionics and in 2005 even play in the movie Mirror Wars: Reflection One, directed by Vasili Chiginsky, with Rutger Hauer and Malcolm McDowell. 3. Later aircraft was used as testbed to testing new avionics, including radar Zhuk-MSE produced by Fazotron NIIR. bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zark Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Thanks for clarifying that, is always a pleasure to learn something new from fellow modellers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F-16rhs Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Reeeeeaaaally nice job m8!!!! Cheers Panos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 thanks zark! Foreplanes or "canards" were cuted in a cd box!!! i took a templates from drawings. edges were sharpened and a litttle filler was added on sides to give more volume. The shoulders or LERX are from the same material. I glued some pieces to the original kit and after a lot of filling/sanding i get the right shape!! Finally i stuck and sanded a plastic sheet on LERX to ease scribing. bye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zark Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I do really admire your work even more now. Becouse I have some years of modelling in my back, it is so simple to explain how you did it but is actually veeery hard to achieve these high standards of scratchbuilding...

Fabster Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Oh, Yeah! We can't never have enough Sukhois around here, especially if they are as good as the one you have here, my friend. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us. The right word for me right now is INSPIRATIONAL, no less! Do you have pictures of the scratch building process for the front landing gear (and the rest of the job for that matter) you could share with us? Keep up the good work FAB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rom Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Thank you so much for kind comments guys!! Concerning the paints, i don't remember.. i did it 2 years ago... I used Humbrols blue 14, 48, 89 and maybe 65... About the scratch: The nose was designed on CAD : then drillmilled : the result: I was very lucky to be able to use it at my internship workshop. The front canopy was done from scratch, with packaging clear sheet and PE tree part: the template of the windshield should look like this: The LERX: first i added some preshaped plastic parts from a cd box :) stuck with CA glue. Voids are filled with Tamiya filler: Edited May 28, 2009 by rom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaiidanTomcat Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Wow Rom!! superb model and where did you get that cool machine tool? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rom Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 then shoulders are recovered with fin plastic sheet: It helped for the scribing. For that stage, i printed scale drawings and cut the panels i needed. I stuck them on the plane shoulders at their right place with white glue and let it dry. When stuck paper was hard enough, i scribed around using them as a template. For the wheels, im not so happy with it: Casts from MHM kit: x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
