SU-57 Felon
Used Quinta studio cockpit, looks nice, but it's too easy, for me, modelling needs to be just a bit harder.
Fitment is a bit on an issue, if not careful can use putty a lot more then you need
Done all the scribing and riveting, I'm taking a bit of liberty watching both prototype and serial production Su57
Masked by hand, it took a while, but definitely worth it!
Lower pic is serial model. Colour is quite close, I'll paint radial and other panels later on. Only think I regret is tilted digital camo on a side but I was looking at wrong reference while masking. 02 model it seems doesn't have tiled camo, at least not on a pic I was checking, while 01 has it.
Gloss coat is on, I also painted verticals and radar surfaces
Nozzle work, usually just dry brushing
Upper side of decals is done
Just few more things to be done.
First studio photo, and actually I'm not totally done, I just need to add lights on wings, and correct two panels near wing radar area
Opted for outside photos on a stand, I'm very very happy with result.

Gergő TakácsVery nice camo! I have the same kit in my stash and i would like to make the kit with the same camo. But I think I dont have enough patience to do. 🙂

Petar Žorić@Grego Haha totally understandable mate, this took a lot of hours for me, I think there is kabuki mask somewhere online, but I like old fashioned masking, or you can maybe try it's prototype splinter scheme 🙂 and thank you 🙏🏻

Buddy build with a friend, but I'm gonna try my best to bring this model to life.
