1/72 Su-27SM3 Flanker by Trumpeter





This is my interpretation of the Flanker series, this one I converted into the SM3 mod. The kit is nice and well detailed, exceptional for the 1/72 scale.




How I envisioned it to look like






This is a gold standard in 1/72 scale



No problem with any fit





i had to modify the location of the IRST from the center to slighty to the starboard. Placed some details on the cockpit.







I custom mixed the paint, since there is no exact shade from tamiya. I use tamiya acrylics and some washes. No post shading was done, since reference pictures show no panel indentations. 







Loadout is a mix of the R-27, R-73 and R-77 missiles. 


The greatest challenge is the exhaust and the burnt metal. Tried to replicate it, hopefully I gave it justice.









Handpainted from start to end. Enjoy.
