1/48 Hobbycraft SU-27B

--------------------

 

This is my first 1/48 kit.  This kit is fairly simple and cheap kit available in market I found so far. Decals with this kit are very basic only with AF numbers and Red stars. I took nearly 6 weeks to finish this model. Humbrol enamel paints with Badger air brush were used for base paint coat. I wanted to use an air brush for the camouflage but I dropped that idea because wet winter weather outside and I didn’t think it was good idea painting adventures in Indoor house. I used hand brush for camouflage as well as rest of parts (missiles, pylons, wheels and other small parts).

The canopy is very low quality piece which down part of the kit with a nearly 1mm gap, which I don’t like. Panel lines are very good in this kit but I am not so experienced to raise it.

Stencils are stolen from other kits, I did mistake while applying the decals to the model. I hope I won’t repeat this mistake again.
