I finished off the Tumbing Dice 1/600th scale Sukhoi Su-7 Fitter A fighter bombers today, adding some Soviet decals and buzz numbers to the painted models. This went mouch more smoothly than the decals on the Su-9's as I took the precaution of brushing on a little Future before I applied the insignia. I'm quite pleased with the way they turned out in the end.
I also added buzz number to the Su-9's as I forgot to do so the other day and it does make them look the part. I really should find a way to make underwing stores, missiles and so on, as they do look a bit lightly loaded for strike aircraft? I definitely want to expand the Soviet capabilities a bit further, so will be adding some MiG 21's and MiG-25's at some point in the future.

Great work- They look lovely. Just finished a 1/300th one- like the lines on that aircraft.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Where did you find the 1/600 decals?
ReplyDeleteThe decals are a combination of Doms Decals for the stars and I-94 decals for the buzz numbers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pete...I bet the 1/300th scale version looks amazing!
