India Republic Day

 

      

Hi everyone, this Indian Air Force Sukhoi-7 was assembled using the Modelsvit kit which goes together surprisingly well considering its short run nature.  However the decals proved to be a nasty surprise, on contact with water, both shark mouth decals split into 15-18 pieces each and it was a painstaking exercise to assemble them piece by piece and then touch up using a fine brush -as such, kindly excuse the crooked tooth haha; keep this in mind if you intend to build this model.

I decided to weather the model using airbrush though it is not quite clear in the photographs, I suppose a better camera is required.  The UB-32 rocket pod used is an Eduard resin aftermarket, the kit rocket pods were rather bad. 

The decals stole the mojo out of this build though I like how it turned out in the end and hope you do too ...

Regards,
