Hi! This's my 3rd article here on ARC.

I used Academy's 1/48 Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker B.  I changed it a bit with an air re-fuel tube near the cockpit.  I got this kind of paint scheme somewhere, but I've changed the colors.  This plane does not really exist, so I needed to guess all the colors and masking.  All were painted free-hand, so you all can see the blurred edges lol.

The technique of making the metallic paints can be seen in the ARC's Tool 'n ' Tips.  I added a bit more colors and cut some colors from suggested ones in the forum.

Happy modelling !

P.S. I've sent this one to challenged in the contest here, non of the result is known yet , 29/10/05.

Cheers!
