Deflected Control Surfaces for the Su-31 in 1:48

The Sukhoi Su-31 aerobatic single-seater has unusually large control surfaces: the ailerons run the whole span and the elevator and the rudder are sized for an instant response. When such an aircraft stands parked, the surfaces lean on their own weight and stay deflected, often each one differently. A model with all its surfaces neatly level therefore looks stiff.

This set offers the surfaces separately and adds further surface detail to the airframe. On aerobatic specials those details are usually the dividing line between a model that reads as a mock-up and a model in which the viewer believes the aircraft landed a moment ago.

Setting the Deflections Step by Step

  • First decide on the scene: an aircraft freshly parked looks different from one ready for engine start.
  • Measure the angles with a simple paper template, because the eye alone gets small deflections wrong.
  • Compare the left and right sides by looking from behind, not from above.
  • Leave the joint free until the glue sets so that the position can still be adjusted a little.
  • Once the position is right, fix it with thin super glue and an accelerator so that the surface does not slip.

It is worth adding the small external parts from the same package to the airframe and only then painting the model, otherwise an unwanted step forms around the newly glued parts. Finally check the finished deflections against a photograph of the real aircraft, because the position of the surfaces on a parked machine is surprisingly pronounced. Paints and glue are not enclosed.

FAQ

As a rule yes, sets of this kind assume that the fixed surfaces of the kit will be separated. Make the cut along the engraved line and then level the surface with a file.

There is no fixed value; on a parked aircraft the surfaces slide down under their own weight. Go by photographs and above all keep a believable relationship between the two sides.

Ideally before the whole airframe is painted. The paint then runs smoothly across the gap and the edges do not form a step.
