High Detail Sukhoi SU-33 Flanker D Papercraft Model by Ronan

Hi everyone! Here is my newest model! A Sukhoï SU-33 Flanker D of Russian Naval Aviation from the 279th KIAP (Independent Shipborne Assault Aviation Regiment), 1st squad navy. 

It's carrier-based on the aircraft carrier Admiral Kouznetsov. 

Bort number 70 red.

This model was released by Maxart for free (its also possible to get it printed from YG model editor).

The scale is 1/33.

This is my entry for the Full Flankage group build on Instagram with more than 20 people building plastic Flanker. It took me 4 month to finally get to that result. 

I've used as usual for big models 160gsm paper sheets and for 100gsm for smaller parts or rolled tubes

The wheels are made of laminated cardboard sanded with my Dremel and painted. These are my best wheels so far. 

The pitot probes are made using needle applicator from old Revell glue. 

The metal parts (like the gun panel or the various actuators) are made of aluminum speed tape glued on the paper. They are weathered using Tamiya panel line accent color black. 

The edge of the paper has been painted with Vallejo paints.

Best regards!

Ronan
