The SU-27 by
Trumpeter in 1/32nd scale is a relatively old kit from Trumpeter.
It
is to date, the largest 1:32 kit available here in the Philippines and my SU-27
took well over two months to complete. I replaced the kit provided ejection seat
with a Black-Box cockpit. When I damaged the kit provided canopy with lacquer
thinner I replaced it with a Zactomodel Canopy kit.

The model was
painted with Gunze lacquers and Alclad 2 lacquer paints for the bare-metal
engine section and afterburners. Due to a lack of readily available
markings online, I decided to use the kit provided markings. Overall, this
SU-27 was a fun and challenging build, particularly because it was my
first large scale aircraft and only the 7th plane that I have ever built.
Thanks to IPMS
Manila (IPMS USA 2007 Chapter of the Year) for providing advice and support in
the building of this model.
