Welcome to this forum
Nice and intriguing build you have there, the picture's are small, but they look very smooth and without seams, the clear canopies look good aswell..
Like Gerardo, I 'm very interested in your technique...
That Berkut is incredible, i true beauty and a true wonderful design.

The techniques i use are similar to the ones you use specially for the wings and tailplanes and the radomes in many ways use the same technic, however the main differences that i can see are while you use several cones of different diameter only, which i use too, i treat them more to make them rounded. i use glue and some techniques that are reminicent of papel mache and mexican pinatas.

The canopies use different cuts of plastic wrappings such as those seen in pens and batteries.

However this techniques to be perfected can be used in the same way you made the Su-47 but this will requiere excessive care so i do not know if they can be applied successfuly or there are other ways to make round radomes.

next days i will show you a Su-27 i am making and you will see some of the processess i use.
