Academy 1/48 Sukhoi Su-30 MK
by [b]Aamod Potdar[/b]
Well Sukhoi-30 is one of the my favourite aircraft so I decided to do this my first plastic kit of the very same plane. The aircraft is the Academy 1/48th kit and is done in Indian Air Force colours. Sukhoi-30 is the latest and strike aircraft of the Indian Airforce.
Academy kit of Sukhoi 27 UB Flanker C is the best in the market. The kit is very detailed with fine recessed panel lines. This being my first kit I had made some mistakes and I have really learned out of it. But the final outcome wasn’t that bad.
Well It took around a month to complete this kit. The only difficulty I had was during the paint job. I used academy enamel paints. Since I dint have a air brush and compressor I had hand painted this kit with a flat brushes. Since I didn’t also had time to buy a air brush and compressor. But the brush painting wasn’t that bad.
Well the decals supplied by the kit were Russian one. So I couldn’t use the squadron and country decals. Since I couldn’t find any Indian Air force I had to get decals printed on a printer and past it on the kit and it didn’t look that bad. My kit is SB006 of the No.24 Squadron, The Hawks based at the Lohegaon Air Force Base at Pune , Maharashtra. This squadron has since then moved to Barielly in Uttar Pradesh.
I like to thank Murli Ranjan who helped me a lot in acquiring and completing this kit.
