Ok guys, time to post my build for the coming AGB I begin with the Russian T-50 PakFa from Hobby Boss The kit comes with a small fret of photo-etched parts for the cockpit and antenna Fitting wise it's moderate, few areas needs some trimming and filling. The underside of the wing is one of the place. The instrument panels are 100% photo-etched parts, will it be bit too much for 1/72? I use it anyway since it's included in the kit. This is the first time I use photo-etched parts on a 1/72 jet. The instructions are not good enough to describe and explain the building process. These are the few missing info that I'm now searching online: 1. Landing gear color 2. Landing gear bay color 3. HUD actual picture, the kit comes with a PE part to hold the HUD but didn't explain clearly how to bend it. 4. Landing gear door color. 5. Ejection seat color is wrong. Anyone with reference source to share are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. As usual, C&C and suggestions are always welcome.

this seat it self is already 8 parts + 1 PE(not yet install) the HUD tinted with "cap ayam" marker from pasar malam, genuine artline marker too opaque (parts above) Rack for the HUD are 2 PE parts first I curved it by rolling a pen knife over it. bend using PE bender, this is the first bending Result after 2 bends (sore eye already) the end result is very promising, spend bout 1.5 hrs just to get things done front view Conclusion, this kit comes with a cockpit with details way better then many 1/48 kits but still.... missing the seat bealts (which I think I will make later) thanks for viewing, C&C are always welcome

Cap ayam effect indeed awesome! Looking the progress of PE bending and sort makes me feel phobia towards this subject....nevertheless, the results are promising...keep us posted bro!

I always mask the cockpit with the canopy. the interior of the T-50 is Blue, so I sprayed a layer of blue before the body color pre-shaded with thinned black Body painted with Mr Color 308 then the 2nd camouflage color, insignia white (I custom mix earlier), masked and spray Masking again to spray the dark blue gray is a new mix for this build. basic camouflage color done added some post-shading and filtering mask like hell just to paint the exhaust The exhaust of this kit is basically lack of details and panel lines, but I will do something to compromise this. pic shows below progress: 1. Clear Coat 2. Apply Decals 3. Clear Coat 4. Poster color panel line wash Panel lines cleaned up, basically this is the final weathering process of this build. thanks for viewing, C&C are always welcome
