1/48 Tamiya Su-122

[Jeeves]

Really trying to get the bench cleared in tome for my doozie of a project for the spring contest...still want to play around with this one a bit...need to flatten things out a bit more and play with the exhausts as well. Anything I am missing or any other feedback is welcome...

Very nice Jeeves

Well, Jeeves, you took the right way choosing the 1:48 against the 1:35... yours is light years ahead in accuracy terms than the ultra-OLD Tamiya one (the 1:35th I´m talking about).
´
Just some humble advices:
´
1º.- Look for the front-hull towing "hooks", I think that maybe you have forgotten them... ¿ ? If you still keep the model´s instructions sheet, study the hull (front)...


´
2º.- You could also add a couple of towing cables...
´
3º.- I would also suggest to you to paint the tracks & spare-links with a darker colour... just a dark-blackish brown will work !
´
4º.- I would also add an aerial ... Jeeves, you can easily do it, look:

It is a nice, clean & well done model, Jeeves

Hey spud and Jelly...

Thanks for the comments!

Jelly...yup- I know about the tow hooks. Unfortunately I left them in a place where someone who didn't know any better might have thrown it out with the other clutter on the counter and well...they got thrown out

Can darken up the tracks and add an aerial easy enough though...and if I can figure out a substitute for the tow hooks, I can add the cables...

Thanks Eric!

There might be hope...I have a Hobby Boss KV-1 in the stash that might have extras I can use...

Looking good, I'd agree with Panzerace007 about a little mud and dust but still it looks great.
