  "Italeri 1/72 Su-34 Fullback"

  Hi, I'm 15 and i have been modelling since i was 7 when i was sent a model of the HMS Fearless for christmas. I have always liked the Su-34, probably because of the unique Platypus nose, and the interesting fuselage curves. I finally went out and bought one a while back, and got the Italeri kit (it was the only one i could find). For £8.00, it is a nice kit, and all the pieces fit together well, with no major gaps between parts. I added my own pilots from an old Hawk model, and repainted them in orange jumpsuits. The paintscheme for the Fullback is close to the later blue schemes, but not quite accurate, because i am not the worlds greatest paint mixer. I especially liked the detail on the landing gear for this kit, and painted it in two tone silver, using Humbrol Polished Aluminium for the hydraulic parts.

  I especially liked the Kh-31 Krypton missiles that came with this kit, and painted them in an orange test scheme ( my reference was a photo on the net). I am currently building a diorama base for my model, with all sorts of ground equipment and extra. Hopefully, i should hava a second Fullback done (with everything open for maintenance) in time for my Air Training Corps Modelling competition in August.
