I always wanted to built a Su-7 however never had a
kit until few months ago when I got hold this Smer 1:48 Su-7BMK which comes with Indian Decals options. Thoughts of building the shark mouth however many folks have
built it and they sure look good. Then I went for the generic scheme for three tones colors.
The instructions were a bit confusing as the color for the main body was stated grey however it is steel
grey. I used the Vallejo and seemed to match the color of the real aircraft. The Bright Orange tail, was tough to paint as
I didn't had a proper orange so it was bit of a mix of this and that.

The
Kit
The kit seems to be aged however it fit very well there were some blisters on the spruces that needed to be cut off.
A bit of filling and sanding was required for the tail parts, there were big gaps.
Decals were very fragile, one actually crumbled so I have to use decals from elsewhere.
Hope the aircraft turned out okay.
