  Malaysia 51th Merdeka Day Update

        Steve Bamford will insert full sized version of photo 01.jpg here 

  Converting Su-30 MK to Su-30MKM.

  kIT-Mini Hobby Model + Zhengdefu
  Decals-VFA Production (MIG-29N)

  This build was a kit bash of the Mini Hobby Model Su-30MK kit and Zhengdefu flanker kits from my scrap yard,  Initially I wanted to build Su-30MKM by using MHM kit, but the MHM nose is out of shape in my opinion, then I took an old zhengdefu nose which its better shape and bash it to the MHM body, well if we want batter accuracy, we can always use Academy Su-29UB and corrections nose by Zacto.

  To convert the Su-30MK to Su-30MKM, I've to sketchbuild a few features that unique to SU-30MKM, this include adding the Canard & shoulders from Bondite and plastic cards, the IRST was done by removing the original IRST, sand the cutting edge with 340 grade sand paper, then wet sanding with 400 grade and follow by 1000grade sand paper, after that polished with autosol, tamiya compound and car wax, and I rebuild a new IRST by using Bondite.

  Other modification include convert the front landing gear to fit twin tires, adding refueling probe, RWR Antenna, MAWS antenna, FFWL antenna, RFLW ANTENNA,  Increase chord rudder, and reposition the TVC Nozzle.

  I also Converted 4 B-29 figures from Monogram to RMAF Pilot and ground crew for the diorama.

  Happy 51th Merdeka Day Malaysia.
