Already I discover in step 1 the cockpit walls are shown reversed. Not sure if I have them correct now or if they are upside down
I am going to try to salvage the instrument panel on these ancient decals
Nose full of lead...
Hey KP, why is it called a fitter if nothing fits! 🙂
Working my way through this old kit, it's pretty rough but I think it will come out OK in the end. So much nose weight, I can rest it on a cradle like this!

Alex KWatching too... Not a great fan of jets, but I like exotic subjects (not to mention abandoned planes) like this one or your Indonesian Il-28... Thumbs up for your choices... 👍

Ben MThere is no pic #10 yet??
Latest discovery - the decals for the instrument panel are much larger than the instrument panel. Everything about this kit is kind of a WTF, the instructions are clearly wrong, no locating pins, lots of sinkholes, etc. I believe I picked it up because it was cheap, and a Sukhoi.

Maciej BellosFollowing. A KP is always a challenge but back in the day it was kind of the only way to get a decent eastern block subject.

Ben MAh! It's just a similar paint scheme I found. Since the decals in this kit are ancient and yellowed, I looked for a prototype with no markings. I'll figure this kit out. When I was a kid I built a kp mig 15 uti. I recall much putty was required.

Ben MI tried all this, hung them for a month in a south facing window, no change. I have realized that even with the micro scale stuff they simply don't fit. They are the wrong size - too big. It is hilarious.

Łukasz GlińskiIt is nice indeed and worth a try. Sometimes the decals are too bad for it to work, but usually it helps. Just don't spray it if it's too thick (my case), it's hard to de-clog the airbrush afterwards.

Ben MHey KP why is it called a Fitter if nothing fits? 🙂
Did all the little external scoops and conduits, now time for major assembly.

Patrick HagelsteinIf it weren't for the beast of a kit, with that Afghan museum paint scheme, it would be a really cool model to build. I hope this heap of KP plastic is not giving you nightmares then. 😉

Pierre Pierreyou are managing to make out of this old kit a quite good result so far !

Ben MDidn't turn out great but I learned a lot about airbrushing, trying to mix colors, masking and the total futility of trying to shoot thinned model color ????

Patrick HagelsteinIsn't that what model building is about? Trial and error? 😉
I think it came out lovely! Like the weird psychedellic colors! 👍
