Folks,
A few days ago I found this picture on this forum...
(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/179/c/9/Su_30MKM_Yukikaze_by_hasrulGGK.jpg)
...and decided that I have to built it :) Of course I'll change verticals and exhausts to look more like Yukikaze-ish but I won't modify it to look exactly like "Yukikaze". A year ago I've started conversion of Su-35 into Yukikaze but it was a faliure...
So I ordered Kitech's something-like Su-27 :)
(http://airshowsamerica.biz/cart/images/Kitech%2008M-L323.jpg)
I'll post some photos when there'll be something to show :) Now I'm still thinking about canopies. Any ideas?
-
I'll be keeping a close eye on this one..... Canopies your gonna need small... Hmm F-16 perhaps ?
-

I thought about F-16 canopy. But what scale? 1:48 or 1:72? I think the best would be F-22 canopy but don't know if there is vacformed 1:72 canopy to this plane.Buying two cheap F-22 is also an option.
-
Now this is an ambitious build! Are you sure you don't want to do it in 1/32 scale? ;) looking forward to seeing this one.
-
Awesome project! :)
I'd say F-22 canopies in 1/72 would probably look best. :)
-
Perhaps you could cheat and use a pair of YF-22 canopies, or are they too different? I'd reckon YF-22 kits might be a bit easier to find at reasonable prices.
-
Talk about taking on a challenge!

Find me cheap 1:32 Su-27 and I will :)

I'm searching for two cheap YF-22 or F-22. There was an awful 1:72 F-22 made by Aeroplast but it cost more than I thought :)
-
Best of luck on this one!! look forward to seeing it come together :)
-
We are all sat waiting and watching, there's no going back now :D
Chris.
-
We are all sat waiting and watching
I'm happy to know it, really :) I need few days to get rid of some unforeseen work issues and I'll have time for Yukikaze.
-
I am greatly interested too... :)
-
Still no progress (time time time time...need more time! )...but a question...
I've ordered two cheap 1:72 F-22 kits so I have canopies but still I have a problem with cockpits. I know that Yukikaze's pit lokks like that:
http://www.gearsonline.net/series/yukikaze/super-sylph/sup-sylph-08.gif (http://www.gearsonline.net/series/yukikaze/super-sylph/sup-sylph-08.gif)
I'm thinking about buying two Pavla resin cockpits but for what plane? I think that Harrier's pit is most suitable, of course there'll be some modifications :) Here is a photo of stock cockpit:
(http://www.pavlamodels.cz/images/resiny/cockpits/C48015/C48015_1.jpg)
What do you think?
-
^ Reason for mod edit: Fixed the image links. Hope they show up now.
Using Harrier cockpits looks good to me! :)
-
Ok , let's rock :)

-
Yes!!! Nice work on those intakes too :)
-
Crazy already i love it !
-
Oh yes! That's coming along wonderfully, artoor_k!
You're working some real magic on this baby!
Brian da Basher
-
WOW! already lookin the part! :-*
-
Ditto on each of the above. :-*
What a build. Never would have considered it. Your model skills are showing well. :)
-
That's one wicked looking 2-seater, good to see the model is taking shape nicely too .... !!!
-
First of all, It's nice to see that this topis catched attetion of so many great whiffers :)
But, back to the model...yesterday it was quite good:
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/DSCN1329.jpg)
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/DSCN1328.jpg)
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/DSCN1327.jpg)
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/DSCN1326.jpg)
But today...a few hours ago...suddently... terrible thought..."#$^%*&% !!! Where are the wheel wells?". I couldn't mount landing gears directly on the fuselage underside. It must have GEAR WELLS. So with tears I have to cut Yukikaze to mount these $%^&*% wells. Suprisingly I had fit problems only with the first one. Here is result:
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/DSCN1333.jpg)
And finally , front gear strut:
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/DSCN1334.jpg)
-
Wow! (http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m309/ChernayaAkula/Emoticons/worship.gif)
-
That is coming to together better than I could have imagined!
Any tips to share? Youre making this look simple
-
Wow! ([url]http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m309/ChernayaAkula/Emoticons/worship.gif[/url])
Wot he said!!!
-
Those are some amazing modifications! I really like the "double bubble" canopies!

Thank you :) I don't know if it's a tip. I used very nice drawings of Yukikaze from this site:
http://gearsonline.net/series/yukikaze/super-sylph/super-sylph-d.html (http://gearsonline.net/series/yukikaze/super-sylph/super-sylph-d.html)
Wings were simply cut to shape , wingtips were cut and dropped down. Width of each wing was extended with styrene sheet and gunze putty. Verticals are made of sheet of styrene. Additional vertical stabilizers were made of...additional horizontal stabilizers for SU-35 :) The hump behind cockpit is made of two parts of F-16's fuel tank. Horizontal stabs are again additional horizontal stabilizers for SU-35. Intakes were made of styrene, without drawings could be a faliure.Cockpit is simply Su-27's cockpit - maybe seats will be different. Canopies are 1:72 F-22 canopies. Front gear strut is combination between 1:48 Su-27's front and main struts and main strut from 1:48 F-14. Width of sides of cockpit was extended with styrene. Wheel wells are just 1:72 F-22 wells modified to be like "boxes". That's all :)

Finally some progress...
First...TARPS pod:

And overall:
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/DSCN1337.jpg)
A LOT OF PUTTY TO SAND ARGH!!!
-
What kind of putty are you using?
-
What kind of putty are you using?
Mr white putty and humbrol. In Poland there is a putty for wood called STUCCOLEX which is
great for small holes like air bubles.

Hi!
Sanding is almost done! I'd say 75 % :)

-
That is freaking cooool 8) .Having no investment in the original design and noticing that there are many configurations on an image search I would personally like to see the dorsal fin mounted as far back as possible on the center tail boom... kinda like a shark's tail. :) ;)
-
Hello!
Sanding is finished :)
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/DSCN1373.jpg)
Thrust Vector "petals":

Little more detailed kit's seats:
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/DSCN1369.jpg)
Now it's time for annoying thing-cockpit...
-
I salute your superior skills, Sir! Looking fantastic...can't wait to see it finished!
-
That looks awesome!
-

Thank you :) But I'm sure that they're not superior. There are many flaws in this Yukikaze-ish thing. Especially irregularities after putty sanding. I hope I will be able to make them invisible.
That looks awesome!
Thanks :)
-
Looks crazy good to me !

Looks crazy good to me !
Thatz for sure :)
Right-on touches everywhere.

Thanks :)
First thing for cockpit-seats. I've detailed original ones:
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/DSCN1379.jpg)
Not the best but better than OOB :)
-
Very small progress-instrument panels:
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/DSCN1380.jpg)
Left one is made of styrene sheet, right one is from the kit. Left will be in front cockpit. Maybe I'll make another one for WSO...I don't know :)
-
Good evening (It's 10:30 p.m. in Poland now:) )
Today Yukikaze was primered. Also , canopies were fitted. I had to add a fairing in front of first canopy but I like it afterall :) The radome is more sharp now.

More progress in thursday 'cause I have to buy some vallejo paints for Yukikaze and Do-335 :)

Those pictures show you've crossed the line from building models to making art. The sculptural elements are a feast for the eyes!
Brian da Basher
-
Yes, beautiful. :-*
-
Im so excited!! Wonderful work :-*
-
Thanks guys :)
You know ,it's great to be a part of a forum where I can build my models without grumbling of rivet counters.
I'm from Poland, where playing with history is often taken as a sacrilege. I had a plan to make a whiff story about one survived polish destroyer: ORP Błyskawica but actually I'm afraid to post it on any polish forum.
On one of polish modelling sites I've seen by my own eyes 13 pages of rivet counter's quarell about TKS tankette. Main topic was: in rear wheel of TKS there were 13 flat screws or 15 conoidal screws? Imagine-13 pages of unnesessary irritation! WHY? FOR WHAT? Where is the fun of modelling in this case?
For example...I love Spitfire MK IX. This is most beautiful plane in the world for me. But when I see a whiffed Spitfire it's not a heresy for me and I hope that it never will - it's kind of different point of view. I'll never unnderstand "real" modellers that trying to persuade me that I'm not one of them. OK , maybe I'm not , maybe they're "real" ...maybe we're all heretics here. But we have one thing that they'll never have-imagination.
I'm happy to be here :)
-
you are not alone here artoor, I have run away from forums in France too, it is wonderful to be welcome somewhere, sharing heresy somehow... ;)
-
We, Mr Artoor, are very happy to have you among us! Please keep the heresy coming!

Good evening (here it's 11:30 p.pm.) :)
It's undercarriage time :) My DREMEL changed personality for a while , become a lathe and helped me with front wheels :) Main wheels are from Su-27:
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/DSCN1395.jpg)
Not much , I know...I hope I will paint Yukikaze tommorow :)
P.S.
I desperately need two UN logos, like this:
http://www.rpa.xbp.pl/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ONZ_txt.jpg (http://www.rpa.xbp.pl/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ONZ_txt.jpg)
I have no chance to print FAF logo so I need to improvise :) Don't you know if any decals with this logo are
available?
-
Today base color:
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/DSCN1410.jpg)
I don't know if it fits , here is photo of model found on net:
(http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp258/wacek80/Yukikaze/yukikaze1.jpg)
What do you think? :)
-
Beauty is what I think :) :-*
-
I posted wrong photo...now it's corect :-[ What you think about color?
-
I like yours better!
Brian da Basher
-
Both are wonderful, according to me. :-*
-
I like yours better!
Brian da Basher
Agreed - your's has required more effort and creativity.
-
Thanks :)
Because on every photo color of Yukikaze is different I've chosen a color for camo that's as probable as any other :)

Holy cow!!! :o
That looks astounding :-*
Clint Eastwood stole the wrong airplane ;D

This is looking proper cool now, keep it up you are a great inspiration to us all.
Chris

In those colors, I keep thinking Royal Navy. Have you considered going in that direction?
Sweet paint work!

"Firefox" remake with Yukikaze instead of Mig...Pure insanity (in a positive sense :) )
In those colors, I keep thinking Royal Navy. Have you considered going in that direction?
Maybe :) I'm going to keep the look of Yukikaze from anime...but I have no decals to even imitate markings of this plane...so I have to improvise :)
-
"Firefox" remake with Yukikaze instead of Mig...Pure insanity (in a positive sense :) )
If we suddenly see a remake of Firefox appear (probably with either Chinese or North Korean protagonists), you and Ben (aka taiidantomcat) are going to be in big trouble... C:-)
-
Only if I could've reached that kind of excellence...
Great work on everything man!

Nah, don't like it...redo it all...and send me that horrible first attempt ;)
-
Nah, don't like it...redo it all...and send me that horrible first attempt ;)
Redo...OK no problem. Any ideas?:)
First attempt went to trash bin few moths ago :)
Final decision about markings...not Royal Navy...not even original Yukikaze...but JASDF, Canadian or Italian markings :)
-
Italian!!!
-
Looking good, now you need to do some more so you will have a squadron of them ;)
Chris
-
JASDF would be a bit obvious no ? So i too am saying italian !
-
Italian job has failed. Decals are from spare box. So...I'd like to present-Sukhoi B-503 "Yukikaze" :)
