Thanks pitstop25 ;D

those are pills blister leftovers, glued in place and sanded flush. ;)

Thanks Model maker. the previous owner did a lousy job when gluing the main wheel bay. Anyway I don´t like the Monogram´s interpretation of this bay. So a bit of plasticard and patience is in order. This is just a mock up, it´s gonna take a lot more work to get it done.

Thanks for your kind words guys! ;D I´m planning on a production A series, but I´m aware this task is nearly impossible because of the inaccuracies of the kit itself. So I´ll try to make my best and have fun in the process. I eliminate this detail by sanding, and will replace it later with a...

More or less that´s the idea scorpionmikey, but I didn´t have spare intakes so I need to make the masters to make the vacs. ;) Not much progress here. I proceed to clean the fuselage pieces, sand the glue marks, an fill all the dents created when separate these pieces. First i sand with...

I love the look of this plane. And your model is a beauty too. congrats!

Thanks for the words guys! Making resin parts is not too difficult, let me find some time to make a step by step, meanwhile you can check the Smoot-On page for some tutorials. The inside of the intakes is beyond repair, so I´m planning FODs Fill the inside with Play Do and then make a...

Thanks for your words guys! :) Yes the original Monogram kit was injected in orange plastic. One of the wheels is almost fully cover with CA. so I made a resin copy from the *good* wheel. Ok. it´s not perfect, but at least it can be used. :) the two inner wing suports are wrong, they are...

Hi all!! I buy a Glue bomb from a friend, the kit is the 1/48 Monogram Su-25. Beside all the inaccuracies it`s a glue bomb!! I didn´t take pictures from the very beginning but I´ll try to explain. First, for all those who didn´t know what a glue bomb is, it´s the way many modelers call a...

I love this build. And love the color you choose. Do you prime with Dupli-Color too?

Ok. I use Dupli-Color sandable gray primer, and looks fine. A couple of spots need some sanding. I still don´t know wich color to use.

Thanx Lotno! I´ll check that Krylon paint, It´s not too solvent hot? Hey Hooterville ( I love your nick!), If the gap is small mask around it sand to bare plastic and use putty to get the proper contour. If the gap is big sand to bare plastic and use a styrene strip with super glue, then...

thanks guys, you´re very kind. Ok. I glued the splash panes, the side panels and the upper body to the lower body. Almost nothing fits well in this kit. Specially the rear of the upper body, it leaves a very notorius gap. I use basic tamiya putty to work this out. due to the bad fit...

I want to build this one, but I don´t know how to paint the body. The two last bodies were in one piece, but this one have multiple pieces one including the interior floor, so I don´t know where to begin. Any advice on this one is more than welcome!! I turned some aluminum rod for the...

Just a few more details and it´s done!! ;D I think it looks ok. I don´t know why , but always the last details seems to take forever, I have many models in the last stages waiting for inspiration to finish them.
