Added an album for the Su-25M Ukraine build. Today is more work on the cockpit area in preparation for closing it up. Actually closing it up will be delayed until a new kit arrives since the front canopy was a bad mold.

Work continues. Today I shaped a very large etched part for the cannon vents and the carved the kit to make it flush. This is the largest etched part I have ever attempted to use.

Work continues. Closed up the cockpit, added chaff/flare dispensers, and I'm currently test fitting the Master pitot tubes after drilling out the holes in the nose.

Took a full day of work to apply all the camo colors. Now for the Ukrainian flag colors applied to the belly, tail, and wing leading edges.

Ukrainian national colors added to the belly, tail, wings, and fuel tanks. A duel use of boosting national pride and taming those trigger happy AA gunners.

Shar Dipree
The risk of friendly fire is probably higher. than the risk from enemy AA.

Work continues. Today the decal application has started. I am very pleased with the Kagero decals depicting the exact plane in my research photos. My only problem is that the Kagero set did not include the rather unique intake & ejector seat warnings. So now the entire project is at a halt until another set of decals arrive.

Final parts being completed. Today I worked on the NATO compatible pylon as used on the Su-25. Mine isn't perfect, but close enough.
