First Russian jet I've done. Attracted by the box art, but this kit was rough. There were a ton of fit problems in the intakes and joining the fuselage halves, which is what led me to go down the road of a static display and fod covers. I let my daughter pick the paint scheme, and have now learned that red on white make for a hard combo given the contrast. I had to control overspray and really nail the masking because touch-ups were difficult. Unfortunately, I cracked the gloss coat (spider-webbed pretty bad), so it's not up to my normal standards. I was was to fix most of it by just coating it again and again with mist coats, but the problem is still very noticeable. I basically gave up on everything on the end because I just wanted to move on. I had higher hopes for the outcome, but very glad this one is done.
