1/48 ZVEZDA Su-25 Frogfoot (Grach)

May 27, 2023 · in Aviation · · 10 · 437

I don't choose my models, they choose me. I see a picture in my head and try to make it happen. Some time ago I saw a video of firing unguided rockets and had to put all my projects aside until I recreated what I saw. was logical choice for in scale (and also available in local store). I can't judge on accuracy of the model, but fit is perfect. All Zvezda models I came in touch with so far were absolute pleasure to build. Quinta Studio 3D printed cockpit interior is only aftermarket accessory used. I integrated 2x1mm neodymium magnets to make weapons detachable and be able to choose between bombs and rockets.

Since I suck at photography, photoeditor was used to hide the background as much as possible (exposure corrections), but trying to keep details of the model at the same time.

    I love in-flight displays and you've done an amazing job on the project. It's very dramatic and shows what this jet was made to do.

  3. Super cool! Love the subject and the way you displayed not only in flight but in action as well

  4. Excellent work on the Frogfoot and very dynamic diorama, Boris @grgast
    Well done.

  5. This turned out excellent ! Great painting & creative display. The Zvezda kits I have built were all very nice, on a par with Tamiya or any of the other top manufactures .

  6. Thank You for comments and reactions people

  7. That's very nice. Not only in-flight, but in action. Not easy to do and a great result.

  8. Wow, Boris, that’s a terrific Frogfoot.

  9. My vote is for the rockets - very dynamic display! The aircraft is done very well - excellent build!

  10. I love how you displayed your Frogfoot! The dynamic action is amazing! I hope my Frogfoot will look just as amazing as yours! Great job Boris!
