Jorge FerreiraÓ Ricardo achas mesmo que essas decals 3d têm bom aspecto ? Na foto não acho.

Spanjaardthose 3D decals look good, but the details in the original cockpit look just amazing!

Ricardo Reis Author@Jorge, têm sim... o problema é que o cockpit tem o detalhes ainda mais definido, é mesmo lindo, o sacana...
@Spanjaard, the details in the cockpit are more crisp than the details on the decals... it breaks my heart! 🙁
@Desert Marlin, yup, quite. :\

Ben MYou might leave a comment on the 3d decal page so people know what they're getting in to.

Ricardo Reis Author@Ben, with GWH this is always the case, I had to do the same thing with my F-15 some years ago; Eduard has done it better, because they always have parts with details and parts that are flat, for this purpose

Ben MNice work on the line. I've never done that but definitely will give it a try sometime now that I see how well it works. I wonder if I dare use my non imbedding polishing compound or if I should get the hobby stuff.

Ricardo Reis AuthorThanks; I only use the traditional Tamiya compounds, they work for me, so I'm not changing 🙂

Ricardo Reis AuthorHello Nathan; thank you, I delayed these builds a little during Christmas time and New Year, I hope I can pick up the pace now, again 🙂

Desert MarlinThat really is a lot of clamps! The canopy came out great! This mold line they put in the top of the glass seems to be pretty common for all the 4th generation fighter aircraft. You make it look great!

Ricardo Reis AuthorCaro @Jorge, the clamp is to hold the temporary canopy in place while the white glue sets, no biggie; the glass seam is a pain, but solved in 5 minutes of careful sanding and polish 🙂

Jorge FerreiraOh Ricardo não são esses grampos são os outros..... Ou montaste isso mal ou o kit é mau 😁😁😁😁

Ricardo Reis Author@Jorge, os outros foram para assegurar que encaixava tudo bem e apertadinho: os encaixes não são maus, mas também não são Tamiya!

Ricardo Reis AuthorThank you @Brontax3000; the plane is really nice, but prepare for a lengthy build

Ricardo Reis AuthorThanks mates; impressive photos, a little late at this phase of the build, but still, great material! 👍

AlexanderVery clean decaling, can't wait for the finish line! 👍
How are the decals? I heard GWH's are a more on the thicker side?
15 June, 21:31
Ricardo Reis AuthorThank you Alexandre; the decals on this plane are very good, however, in the sister build I'm doing, the Su-35, the decals are extremely thick; because of this, for the Su-35, I bought the Begemot decals, which are very good, unfortunately, their size and the instructions, are wrong in many places
1 15 June, 21:52
Ricardo Reis AuthorYes, they improved on lots of things: decals; quality of fit; instructions; assembly sequence; reworked parts; although it looks very similar, everything is better in the Su-27 kit, really! 👍

Ricardo Reis AuthorThis one is finished; I had to rush the finish, because I'm taking it to an exhibition tomorrow; final photos here: Sukhoi Su-27UBM | Album by RReis (1:48)
