Skyhiker SzerzőThanks Nicolas, the canopy will be a challenge. I sanded out the blemishes on the kit part but there are stress fractures and a crack going through it. I'll have to see if I can vacuform it but there is a ball turret behind it that would be a different thickness and I doubt I could vacuform a ball turret.

Skyhiker SzerzőAfter putting the ball turret together I realized that it would be very risky and way too much work to try and vacuform it. So it looks like I will have to use the damaged canopy because I don't want to mix and match glazing thickness.

Łukasz GlińskiInteresting kit, way better looking than I thought. But the transparencies are a bummer indeed

Skyhiker SzerzőI only paid 5 euros for it so I guess I can't complain when the canopy is a mess. I bought someone's entire stash and it was one of the kits in there. Hopefully after it's painted it won't be too bad.

CuajeteI always had in mind to buy this kit, but I forgot about it because I think it has some problem or difficulty (maybe those transparent parts? 🤔). I hope for a better tool in the future.
Well done so far.
Following!

Skyhiker SzerzőThanks Air no. It's really an interesting early war bird. The turret is pretty cool.

KennethSorry to see that; what combination of paint and setting solution resulted in this?
22 February, 13:04
Skyhiker Szerző3rd generation paint and varnish with Mr. Mark Softer. The decals were shit and I probably used too much solution. I ended up having to brush paint over the decals and problem areas.

Skyhiker SzerzőAny Sukhoi specialist out there? All the original photos show the Su-2 propeller going in the opposite direction of most airplanes. But the Volgograd Panorama Museum Su-2 and the two mock-ups at the Moscow - Victory Park (white 27 and yellow 39) seems to be different. Anyone know anything about this?

NicolasAs far as I can say the M-88 engine turns counter-clockwise, the ASch-82 engine turns ckockwise (viewed from the engine to the propeller). Both engines were used in Su-2 aircraft, but I don't know about diffrent type designations depending on the engine.

Skyhiker SzerzőNicolas thanks that helps a lot to understand what is going on. Now I have a point of reference to do some more research.

Denis DogadovYou have a Su-2 with an M-88 engine. Here is the M-82 engine for understanding-

Guy RumpGreat job with a troublesome kit and decals. I think it looks really good! 👍

Skyhiker SzerzőThanks guys. The kit was challenging but it has a lot of strengths. ICM's surface detailing is really the best and with effort you can make great stuff with their kits. That being said there are no guide pins, the canopy was a mess to start with and took a lot of effort to make it halfway presentable, the landing gear was problematic to say the least and the instructions were worthless. Definitely not a beginner's kit.
