  "1/48 scale Su-24 Fencer by Trumpeter"

  I have been planning to build this kit for some time. I finally got it from Hobbyeasy. It is pretty Impressive in its size. The kit is quite complex in its build as the number of parts are around 800 !! 

  The build is a slow time consuming process, not made any easier due to some moulding faults. The tail assembly does not sit flush entirely with the rear engine decking as its supposed to, so I had to crazy glue it in place by pushing the decking up with a pen, so that the tail fused flush with it. The rubber wing glove covers are fine as long as you don't sweep the variable geometry wings, then they fit too tight with the wing surfaces, resulting in the paint being scratched. Also, for a scale so large, you would have expected Trumpeter to make the outer wing pylons to swivel, but they don't.

  Enough criticisms.  The kit otherwise builds beautifully, with virtually no need for filler and minimal sanding. The moldings are crisp and bang-on perfectly matched. The undercarriages are works of art, really superb. As for the weapons, you can't praise the options enough.  There are simply too many varied options. You have enough left over for maybe another 7/8 Russian models, all wonderfully moulded, with great details. I can't praise them enough, I haven't completed all of them yet.

  All in all, the results speak for themselves. I really enjoyed the build of what is an excellent kit, despite its small problems. Well done, Trumpeter !!.

  Just delete any of the boxes below you don't need.....it's not important to include them.....they are there to give you an idea of the finished article.  It is best to limit your article to no more than 60 or so photos, so the finished webpage won't take too long to open.
