Airfield tow bar for the Su-27 in 1:32 scale from Temp Models

The set brings a 3D printed airfield tow bar for the Su-27 in 1:32 scale from Temp Models. It is not a model of the aircraft but a piece of ground equipment: one end of the bar latches onto the nose landing gear leg and the other onto the coupling of the airfield tug that moves the aircraft around the parking apron. The shape of the attachment differs for each type, and it is exactly that difference the set captures.

The real subject

The Su-27 is a Soviet heavy twin-engine fourth-generation fighter which first flew in 1977. The fuselage and the wing form one lifting body, the two turbofans are housed in separate nacelles and the aircraft has a long range even without drop tanks. A machine weighing over twenty tons is not moved around the apron under its own power but by a tug coupled through a tow bar.

Building and painting tips

The parts are printed from resin and are held only by thin supports. Cut them off with a sharp scalpel as close to the part as possible, sand the marks down with fine sandpaper and protect your airways while sanding. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Paint holds longer on a smooth print if you lay a thin coat of primer under it. Ground equipment is brought to life by a dark wash run into the recesses and by drybrushing on the edges.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building a whole apron scene around the Su-27 in 1:32
  • Builders of dioramas with ground support and airfield equipment
  • Collectors who find the equipment around an aircraft missing in a large scale
  • More experienced modelers used to working with resin and cyanoacrylate glue

The set is an addition to building a model, not a model in its own right. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted, and glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is an airfield tow bar, that is an addition to building a model of the Su-27 in 1:32 scale. Neither the aircraft itself nor the apron is in the package.

Cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Ordinary plastic cement does not work on resin, because it does not dissolve it.

Yes. Cut the supports off the print, sand down the spots they leave and lay a thin coat of primer on before painting.

The set is made for the Su-27 type in 1:32 scale. A list of particular kits is not stated by the manufacturer, so with less common kits expect to fine-tune the fit.
