WHAT IF??

  Mexico Independence Day 2007 

 

This time I'm here to show you the newest model airplane I have finished.

About the model, there`s no much to say, it is a hard model, poor in quality, bad pieces and requires a lot of sanding.  But that was a challenge and this is the result.

 

Having it in my model stock and having listened for years in the news that SEDENA (Secretaria de la Defensa Nacional) was in negotiations to buy any number of these jets and for one and other reason they never buy a thing.  So I decided to built the first Mexcian Sukhoi 27 as a "What if" theme.

The painting was done using light ghost gray and dark ghost gray and for the interior color I used green/blue interior all from Modelmasters

The decals came from ZOTZ decals and the lettering was dry transfers applied to a blank decal sheet and then transferred to the model.

 

And to celebrate our DIA DE INDEPENDENCIA

Hope you like this model
