1/48 Hobby Boss Su-27 Flanker B
Posted by Grant Dalzell on Thursday, July 27, 2017 8:28 PM

OOB build with Begemot Demo Flanker decal set.

Another nice easy to build kit from Hobby Boss. Landing gear is well engineered for a positive sturdy fit that gives solid support. No fit issues or problems with this build

Painted with Mr. paint lacquer, Gunze, Tamiya, Akan and Vallejo acrylics, AK Xtreme metals, Vallejo Metal Colors and Gunze Metalizer. Flory Dark Dirt wash and Mig satin varnish.

As it is a Demo scheme I chose to  give the weapons a inert/inactive look. I have seen these colour schemes on these weapons, so no, I did not make it up. Whether the schemes are for inactive/practice weapons I don't know, but I did not want live armament on a Demo aircraft

Now that's cool. Is the red ordnance a normal color that's used?

Thank you guys. If you google R-73E's, R-27ER's and R-27R's you will come accross these colours, but I doubt that is normal, but as mentioned I wanted someting different being a Demo Flanker
