Su-35 Ecardmodel

Hello,

This is the Su-35 from Ecardmodel.

This month last year, I started building the paper model. This model is finished, marking 1 year of papercraft for me!

I completed this model in just over a week and a half.

Dmitry Udalow's models always please me with their balanced layout and ease of execution. The aerial refueling tube is very good, the air intake is very realistic.

In short, it's great!

Quote from Marcel1981

Very nice! How did you make the cocpit canopy? Is it vacu formed?

I used one of the two ways below:

Note this is just the basic way to form it...

Method 1: I use a PET plastic bottle, prepare the default mold from the developer like this:

Stiffen the frame and put it inside the PET bottle along with a wooden stick to keep the frame from wobbling. Make sure the PET is fully stretched when inserted into the frame. Use a candle or heat gun, stove to heat it. Do not heat it too long in one pot or place it too close to the heat source because it will cause the plastic to burn.

Method 2: I used an office glass cover. Cut it according to the available pattern. Using a rigid frame, I pressed the glass cover onto the compatible frame like this:

Heat it lightly over the fire, just quickly pass it over the flame, not like method 1. Just like that, it can bend and give the desired shape. The downside is that it is not very pretty however, it seems to "respect the original"
