Hi all, Now my Bedford build is done its time for something completely different, a what-if, the basis of this build will be the Hobbyboss 1/72 Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut. It will either be an operational Russian aircraft in Su-33 type camouflage or in Su-27 digital camouflage, we shall see Box art: ![]() Sprues: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Started the Berkut this morning, its a nice kit: ![]() Typical Russian design...its huge for a single seater, here it is with a 1/72 Harrier GR1 on its back: ![]() The nose cone and jet exhausts are dry fitted: ![]() It really is a great fitting kit, only very minor sanding of the seams was required thus far. Thanks for looking in, more soon

Any Russian jet sits well with me as I have built a few in my time and have another dozen or so in my loft and all 1/48th so, obviously, I will follow avidly. |

Thanks a lot lads Hi all, Done a wee bit more on the Golden Eagle: The kit seat is quite bland so I added some straps, an ejector handle and a couple of grab rails: ![]() The radome has been filled with Liquid Gravity and glued in place, the canopy was masked, glued in place and then painted that iffy Russian cockpit green colour ![]() Thanks for stopping by, more soon

Of course, it's going to be a whiff isn't it. If I carry on like this I can see another 'doh' award coming my way. |

The canopy is just tacked in place, so if I do a Russian bird I will change the colour of the handles just for your sanity Del
