Flankerman Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Well, I have made a start - using a mixture of the currently available drawings/renditions on the internet. It's all a bit empirical - I'm making it up as I go along - but that's half the fun It probably won't be 100% accurate - but it won't be any worse than Hasegawa's 1:72 scale or Trumpeter's 1:32 scale Flankers...... :D The first thing I did was to create a 'centroplane' using thick white plastic card..... I'll be using the cut-down wings from a Hobby Boss F-22 Raptor..... .... and the engine nacelles from an old Nakotne Flanker.... Wish me luck. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Remember that angle and general size of the wings are totally different on PAK-FA. Other than that, i can't wait for it to progress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FlyingLow Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Excellent Ken, I will be definitely follow this with great interest... especially because I am contemplating this build in my scale (1/144). I think I can get proportions from photos pretty well but the actual size is still pretty tricky and there are so many differnt numbers out there. What basic dimensions will you use for scaling down?
