Brilliant work Luke! You are right about that green being used for calming, was also painted on the walls of psychiatric hospitals in the 1900s to serve the same purpose. Looking forward to what’s next!

I'm not gonna lie, I am impressed with your dedication to a Kitty Hawk kit! I've got an F-35B and SU-35 Flanker-E (Both in 1/48 scale from Kitty Hawk), and the F-35B was barely finished with no end of headaches, fillers in the wing roots and a lot of aggro. The Flanker-E was a loss as the wings were so thin and misaligned that I had no way of fixing it, so it's been relegated to spare parts for other kits. However, I've since acquired a 1/48 SU-30SM and SU-35S from Great Wall Hobby, and I am not starting either of those two until I've done my 1/48 HobbyBoss SU-27UB first as I've got an ambitious paint scheme planned for it, so it'll serve well as a 'training' kit before tackling my two big boys.

Well done! Nice buildon a challenging kit for sure! ...The Flanker really is a beautiful Aeroplane! ...But I agree, it's a bit naked with out the armament. Looking forward to the next build! Cheers!

Turned out awesome! You got much farther then I ever did lol. First KH kit I got was a Su-27. The rear of the lower fuselage half was wider than the upper part. Also tried one of their 1/32 T-28 Trojans, had major fit issues with an insert on the rear fuselage of both halves. Gave up on both and never bothered with KH again.

Absolutely correct. Russian propaganda channel Combat Approved, has video about SU-30 SM. Reporter was firing canon at some logs of wood and there were flames all over canopy 😂😂😂. Planes fuselage can't endure that heat..

Also, some horizontal stabs (Su-35) are also kept natural metal as a precaution due to the blast from launching weapons.

The video is very good, I bought myself a Su-30SM 1/72 from Zvezda. The only thing this model has is the wrong cockpit avionics. This is avionics from Su-30MK, M2, MKK.

I think you need to play with Annealing photo-etched metal parts - and pre-bending around prior to gluing and then you'll be wow!! I have 2 Kitty Hawk Su3x kits - good job - I know that GWHs have the SU-2/3x nailed, but good to see these are buildable.

@@machmodels the only flaw you've made during this build is putting TV nozzles down to 0-0 degree. Al-31FP and Al-41F-1 nozzles are mounted 25 degrees outside to create side force vector rather than pure vertical as F-22 does. So the nozzles should look inwards-down (25 degrees) when the hydraulics pressure is out.
