The model was made
couple of years back from a model kit from KP.
From accessories are used:
1. Wheel from Vitebsk firm Elf.
2. Part of photoetching of firm Interavia for Su-17 (air brakes).
3. Self-made aerials from medical needles.
4. The bombs and rockets are taken from a set of firm DRAGON.
5. Binding a cabin from a special set Hobby +.
6. Armchair NeOmega KS-3/4.

The panel lines were completely altered under the
drawings published in a magazine AviO (Ukraine); under these drawings all
changes on model also are made. The drafts in a design the chassis of pieces
of needles are anew made. The crests on the wings were made from thin sheets of
plastic. I used photo etch airbrakes from a company called Interavia.
It was
necessary to cut and to scratchbuild the landing gear bays to make them deeper
and scratchbuild the detail inside them. The nose gear was scratchbuilt and the
main gear legs were modified from the kits parts. In the cockpit I used a
resin seat from NeOmega
and scratchbuilt the sight, and used decals for other details. In a nose of model
the cargo is fixed and it is desirable that than weight it (him) was larger,
differently model will sit on a tail.
The weapons were modified and are
made
demountable. The fasteners for weapons load are made new from plastic. The guns are
made from medical needles. Both aerials are made from
medical needles and pieces of wires. Dimensional fires are made of colour
plastic.
The model is painted with Metalizer Revell "aluminium", the covers for
the technological hatches are tinted by a darker shade of metalizer to give it a
more realistic look. The niches the chassis are painted in grey - light-blue colour.
Cone in the nose and tail crest are painted in green colour. All the technical
inscriptions are put on with the help of a thin brush and
dexterity
of hands using red paint. Others decals are taken from different sets. The
panellines were darkened with black oil paint. I also added gun powder
stains on the guns and on rocket containers.
