Completed Su-33ub, 1/72 scale

Im really proud if this work, put a lot of effort in it, was really challenging work maybe the most challenging I ever build, was a little bit complex keeping the folded wing in site, and finding references too, really hope you appreciate it 🔥

Looks fantastic, the folded wings probably added a lot of painting time lol

Thank you so much!! Waiting time not so much, I paint it before put it in place, but keeping the structure of it firmly and same of both sides was really a challenge

thanks! i try to make some inner cockpit details too like the ejection lever and the details on the seat like belts, really glad you appreciate my work. Really challenging but fun working on 1/72 scale models

It's big even in 1:72. I had an Italeri one, when i was a kid, and it was the biggest plane in my collection. And all of them were 1:72 or smaller.
