Model Build: Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker

Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker Air Superiority Fighter

One of my all time favorite fighter planes, the SU-27 is a gorgeous piece of engineering. It just looks fast! I am still waiting to add a scale model of this to my collection, but in the meantime I have not wasted anytime hunting down video build for various different versions of this aircraft.

I want to give a shout out to Phil Flory from Flory Models for his excellent 9 hours of video going through a complete build of the 1:72 scale Trumpeter kit. I really enjoyed this build and his videos immensely, so much so, I subscribed to his site. I highly recommend Flory Models to anyone who's serious about joining a modeling community.

But wait ... there's more!

I stumbled into a couple of tutorial sites for the SU-27 and was compelled to bookmark them here so that I will always be able to find them . I hope that you will also find them inspiring and useful!

The most amazing aircraft model I have ever seen! See the howto build here ... www.naritafamily.com

Model Build: MiG-29 Fulcrum

German MiG-29 - GADF assumed possession of 24 East German MiG-29's upon reunification in 1990

Satiating my desire to build some MiG and Sukhoi fighters I purchased an Airfix 1:72 scale MiG- 29 Fulcrum. In addition to the video reference videos I collected, I found as many videos as I could of other MiG-29 model builds. The many builds collected together here span a variety of scales and manufacturers but are inspirational regardless of whose kit you at building or at what scale.

Model Build: F/A-18 Super Hornet

I just added a Revell  1:48 scale, F/A-18 Super Hornet to my "stash". As I have been building and focusing exclusively  in 1:72 scale this will something of a leap for me. Upon initial glance I am excited about the level of detail although I have no idea what I will do with a model this size when complete. Part of the thrill of this hobby I suppose!

As with most of my models I started collecting video tutorials on F-18 builds. Looks like a pretty popular aircraft to model, however it also sounds like the Revell version is going to be something of a challenge. As I am just a Noob in this hobby that does not bode well for me! LOL ... I  guess you can't get better without working through being bad first. :) Besides I got for 40% off at the craft store so for $13 USD I figure it's still a pretty good deal.

This Model Build: F/A Super Hornet playlist includes 18 video, from 7 channels and span 3 - 3.5 hours when watched straight through. I wanted to issue a special call out to Doog's Models for his particularly informative multi-part build, something I have come to expect from Matt's videos. Thanks!
