- Welcome to the second installment of the Lethal Beauty build series, part two of Stash Jenga. In this episode, I assemble and paint the magnificent Sukhoi T-50, a formidable fifth-generation Soviet fighter. Sit back and enjoy the entire immersive experience, from start to finish.

The IR sensor in front of the cockpit is glued baclward !!! 😱
It's for when they retreat 🤣
Enjoy watching your builds.
Thanks, Salvador :-) I haven't forgotten our Larson sketch. The Cylon model I was going to build only has a tiny slit about 1cm wide - it's going to be difficult to squeeze all of those SMD's into that small space. But now I'm thinking Knight Rider :-) Thanks for watching and commenting, as always!
Wow 🤩 fantastic build once again !!!
Thanks very much :-) They're coming along slowly :-)
You nailed it dude awesome work ! Love the SU-57 Digital Camo and you really did it justice in this model with your meticulous and methodical craftmanship.
Thank you very much 🙂 It was a crazy amount of masking, for sure. Thanks for your support. It is much appreciated!
The fact that you take your time to mask the camo yourself is amazing. Dedication at it finest 👌🏾 also, great build
Thanks very much for your kind words :-) It's the first time I'd tried the mottling technique, so I'm glad it turned out okay! But those masks, haha! They were a little labor-intensive! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
You are on fire with these builds Trevor. Really nice mate
Thanks very much, Mark :-) I enjoyed building the T-50, because there was less building and more painting, which is my favourite part of the process. Thanks very much for watching and commenting! I'm always happy when I see your M-ATV in the comments section!
That is seriously cool. I've never seen a paint job like that before, your use of the thin strips of tape to make it was inspired :-)
Thanks very much, Dan :-) I wasn't sure if I'd be able to pull of that camo pattern, and I'm glad it turned out the way it did, even though it's not perfect :-)
@@OstrichLongneck I feel that buying a mask for the camo is not quite playing the game .
@@fredtedstedman Yup, it does take some of the creativity out of it. But pre-made masks have their own set of problems, like stretching or lifting paint from the surface. I'm not a big fan, although I try them out once in a while, when I'm feeling dangerous, haha!
Very informative and fun video.
Thank you :-) It's quite a lethal beauty!
Outstanding, really nice work!!!
Thank you very much :-)
Wow the model looks amazing the camo pattern awesome great job 👍🍺🍺🍻🇿🇦😎
Thanks, Travis. She turned out quite nice :-)
Another fine build.
A brave move, I think, going for that camo scheme with no pre-prepped decals or masks but you have pulled it off beautifully.
I also love the bits of footage of the real thing. I have worked on these sort of aircraft most of my working life but always look at them in action and think - that's gotta be fun!
Hi Alon :-) I wasn't sure that the paint masks would work, but luckily they did their job. LOL, I had to watch a lot of Russian documentaries to find some clips of the real aircraft in action. I still think you have one of the best jobs in the world, though :-) If I wasn't such an imbecile with anything mechanical, your line of work would have been my ideal :-) And you're right, I'm pretty sure it's not all business when a pilot takes one of these machines up into the air! Thanks for your kind comment!
Thanks for such a great explanation and congrats for the nice result. I was looking for a shortcut to paint my model and actually I've found a complete mask. But I think I will enjoy trying the "artisanal" approach ;-)
Hi Jose :-) Thank you so much for your kind comment. I actually searched for a pre-made mask, but couldn't find one at the time. There were only ones for the splinter camo, which looks good too. The masks I applied with 3mm Tamiya tape took about three evenings, if I remember correctly. So it was a bit of effort, but the result didn't look too bad. I hope your model turns out stunning!
Nice
Thank you very much :-)
Thanks, nice build. That was a very ambitious paint job, well done. I was trying to decide if I wanted to buy this kit. I just finished the Hasegawa F-35A and am about to start the Revell F-22. I think adding the Su-57 and the Chinese J-20 would round out the Fifth Gen collection nicely.
Thanks very much :-) Those are great choices for future builds!
Beautiful Job Ostrich ! Wales UK.
Thanks very much :-) Wow, Travis, my buddy who shares this channel with me, has Welsh grandparents. I'll be sure to let him know you commented! This model kit almost drove me nuts with all the masking, haha! I remember thinking, "What was I thinking?" as I laid down those last few pieces of tape! Luckily she turned out okay, so I was glad I chose this camo pattern in the end. Thanks very much for stopping by and taking time to leave a comment! - Trevor
@@OstrichLongneck I love the Sukhoi jets , I built blue grey and a yellow/brown Su 27Flankers , then a blue Su 34 (,about 30 years ago ), and last Chrismas a Zvezda Berkut . my leanings are What If ? I like splinter camo , I have a shakey hand so mask and hand paint is ok for me .
@@fredtedstedman The Sukhoi's really are amazing aircraft. I've just finished a Su-27 Sea Flanker, also with a kind of "What if?" arctic blizzard camo pattern. Your camo schemes do sound amazing though, and I love splinter camo, too. I built a Viggen with splinter camo a couple of years back. The Berkut is a stunning aircraft. I'll bet you had a lot of fun putting her together!
@@OstrichLongneck they are on my channel .
@@fredtedstedman I'm going to have a look :-)
Love the work! But I think you glued the infored part backwards
Hi Al, thank you very much 😀 I figured with those upgraded MIG-29's from Poland, they are going to need to watch their backs 😂 Just kidding - I actually made the same mistake on the MIG-29 I built a month before, too, but have fixed both models in the meantime. The build instructions were not very clear, and I didn't think to Google some reference pictures, which I now do religiously 😁 Thanks very much for checking out the video - and for spotting that awful mistake!
Awesome build! But was that IR sensor/radar installed incorrectly? Cause the live video of the jet shows it differently big round end facing forward and you glued yours facing the cockpit or was my eyes playing tricks on me?😅
Yup, good catch.👍 I did fix it on the model after posting the video. My excuse is it's on that way for when they need to retreat by flying backwards 🤣🤣🤣
@@OstrichLongneck lmao! And that would have been the best reply ever!!!!
@@franciscobalbuena9843 🤣
Вы неправильно приклеили деталь на 12 минуте 23 секунде ролика, круглая часть должна смотреть вперёд самолёта ,а не на фонарь пилота
Вы правы - и, к сожалению, я сделал это со всеми русскими самолетами в этой серии. Я исправил это позже, когда обнаружил свою ошибку.
good build but i think the infrared tracking peice is facing the wrong way
Thank you, I never noticed! 😁👍
Great build mate, I'm just about to start the same model and will be using your video as guidance for sure! What is the Johnsons floor wax used for by the way? I assume it is to make clear parts look more realistic? Have you got a link to the product, I'm in the UK so not sure I can buy it here. Cheers!
Hi Alex, thanks for your kind words :-) The Johnson's floor wax is an amazing product. It forms a thin acrylic layer which fills in small scratches and scuff marks on a dull canopy. It's self-levelling and makes clear parts extra shiny. It's an old modelers tip I picked up somewhere. We don't have it in South Africa either - I had to ship it from the USA. The name has changed again, by the looks of things. Here's an Ebay link if you're in the market for some: www.ebay.com/itm/Pledge-Cleaner-Revive-It-Floor-Gloss-Original-27-FL-OZ-FREE-SHIPPING/274702161189?epid=9016410575&hash=item3ff5865525:g:lLgAAOSwUp1gPGQx
Good luck with your build!
@@OstrichLongneck Thanks very much for the info, I'll put an order in for some ASAP. Great tip, cheers!
Amazing build bro, very cool looking camo, just a heads up, your forward sensor asssembly is the other way around, the rounded part should be facing forward if i'm correct?
Thanks very much :-) Yes, you're absolutely right. I think I did it the right way around on the Su-27 I built afterwards. Those small bits are always confusing!
@@OstrichLongneck sure dude, always wish i had the patience to actually paint a model tho, lol, i think i'll stick with diecast😂
I have a question. What is the tape called that you used to cover the parts you don’t want to paint? Is it some special tape, or just some regular one?
Hi Nikita, I just used plain old Tamiya tape. The 3mm seemed to work the best for the scale.
@@OstrichLongneck thank you for the answer. I’m now working on the Zvezda MiG 1.44 MFI model. The airbrush is an expensive thing for me, so I use the model brush. And my hands are not so steady, so that’s why I asked for it.
Awesome job. What size mm tape did you use?
Hi Jonathan :-) Thank you kindly! If I remember correctly, I used 3mm tape. It seemed to be more or less in-scale for the 1/72 model.
座舱前面的冰淇淋放反了😅
你是对的！我的错！
HOLA EXELENTE TRABAJO, PERO HOMBRE POSISTE EL BUSCADOR INFRAROJO ALREVES...
Muchas gracias :-) Arreglé el infrarrojo más tarde, ¡fue un error tonto!
There's no doubt that the Russians make excellent fighters that are amazingly maneuverable. But THOSE DAMN ENGINES.......
They'll never be truly stealth until they figure that problem out.
Yup, it's kinda sad - they designed a fifth-generation aircraft with a fourth-generation engine. The Raptor will kick it's butt before the T-50 sees it coming! Thanks for watching :-)
@@OstrichLongneck Well, maybe 3.5 generation engines :P
The Russians dont want to lose the superiors thrust vectoring, which they'll lose if they go full stealth....they're kinda in a catch 22 currently.
