Beautiful, loving the added pipelines to the brakes. Makes such a huge difference.👍🏻

Alexander
Great looking Flanker so far! I like the choice of one using the green color for radar/sensor parts. 👍

Villiers de Vos
Very detailed. Very nice.

Ludwig Micallef
Thanks for feedback guys! Much appreciated!

Unfortunately finishing off the project had to take a pause. I mishandled the canopy and applied a little too much pressure, and some cracks showed up which I noticed only after removing all masking.

I am now trying to reach Hobby Boss for a replacement but they don't seem so responsive so things might take longer

Daniel
Oh that's unfortunate, other than that just an awesome looking bird🤘🏻

Spanjaard
there are other alternatives 😉 Su-27 Canopy (One Seater) wi..(Fairy Hobby FRH48005, 1:48)

Ludwig Micallef
And after being shelved for 9 months, now finally seeing the finish line having repaired the canopy by creating a vacform from original mold and combining it with modified canopy frame

Spanjaard
Looks very successful!

Robert Podkoński
Fabulous work, Ludwig! Congrats!

Ludwig Micallef
Thanks Robert and Spanjaard! Though not as accurate and neat as the original, I'm happier with it now than having a crack along the middle of the canopy 🙂

Vincent
Very nice result and great safe on the canopy!!!

Neuling
Looks very good, stunning detail work!

Alexander
Awesome work, well worth the wait, lookinf forward to the finishing touches! 👍

Ludwig Micallef
