Continuing
my “Syrian Air Force” build, here are
the Sukhoi 22 M4 and Sukhoi 22 UM as
seen in the 1982 conflict over Lebanon.

Both
kits were the well crafted Italeri kits. There were no major fit problems
but some putty and sanding needed. Both were built OOB except for the
detailed interior of the UM. For painting, I used Model Master Acrylic
LichtBlau RLM 4786 for the underside, Tamiya Desert Yellow XF-59, Tamiya
Brown X-9, Tamiya Olive Green XF-58 and Model Master Acrylic Medium Green
4734 for the radome and fin antennae. This was followed by a coat of
Future then I used home made decals coated with MicroSol, another coat of
Future followed by ProModeller Black Wash for weathering. The model was
then sealed with Model Master Acrylic Flat Clear coat.
Hope
you enjoyed this and stay tuned for more to come!!
