Those are some amazing modifications! I really like the "double bubble" canopies!

Wow!

Wot he said!!!


Wow!


Thanks :)

That is coming to together better than I could have imagined!

Any tips to share? Youre making this look simple


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

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 :)

Mr white putty and humbrol. In Poland there is a putty for wood called STUCCOLEX which is
great for small holes like air bubles.

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. :) ;)

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 :)

Very small progress-instrument panels:


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 :)

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 :)

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:


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

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?
