1/48 Academy Su-27UB

Su-27UB Flanker (Academy)

I build this model 2 years ago, but just finished it recently. It was also a deviation from my US modern aircraft focus.  The Flanker is one of the Russian aircraft that appeals me. And, it was my first attempt with Academy's kit. I can say the kit is very good aside from some fitting problems in the rear fuselage section and a rather minimalist cockpit. Paints used are acrylic and enamel based.

The underside is sprayed using Tamiya's acrylic Luftwaffe Light Blue and the camo is Modelmaster's enamel Flanker Grey, Flanker Dark Blue, and Flanker Light Blue. 

Enjoy the photos.
