  Indonesia Independence Day 

 

      

At the time Hasegawa released Su-33 eggplane, I know I have to build this into the Indonesian Flanker. Some surgeries and scratchbuilds are needed, of course.

I removed the canards, folding-wing panels, made new pitot and single nose-wheel. I used Gunze’s Base paint as the light grey and US Neutral Grey 43 from Aircraft Colors for the dark grey.

The hard part was the decal. I have to salvage some 1/72 Flanker decal, F-16 decal and other left-over decal and combine them to make this as the Indonesian bird.

It was a fun and enjoyable build. It makes me want to build some more eggies sometimes ... ;)
