Build #2: SU-22K Argentine Navy

[Spey_Phantom]

okay, this is the second plane i will be building, im thinking west-german navy markings.
as noted earlier, i think the Do228 forms the perfect basis for a carrier based transport plane.

modifications that im thinking of include a tailhook, front landing wheels from a 1/72 S-2 Tracker, folding wings, higher rear landinggear struts and maybe a rear cargo ramp.
the model i will be using is a revell 1/72 Do228 kit, with parts from a hasegawa 1/72 US-2B tracker.

here's a pic of the kit

I like the idea.   A lot actually.

there's been a change of plan.

i decided not to navalise the Do228, as the redesign of the rear landinggear would be to intense.
instead, i have decided to Revive the Argentine Navy SU-22K, witch was intended to be build for the 2007 Falklands war GB.

the kit itself (Mastercraft 1/72 SU-22 Fitter) has barely even started, all that was build was the cockpit instruments and the wings, nothing more.
since the kit is largely unbuild, i think it is still eligable to enter, color scheme will be the same as the Argenine Super Etendard.

below are 2 pictures of the progress made so far, nothing much

UPDATE:

the 2 fuselage parts have been glued together, the cockpit has aso been fitted.
prior to the fitting, the sides of the cockpit have been painted in soviet light blue

Now we are talking.

I like this idea and interested to see which colour scheme you use
