danimalmagic Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Another one off the bench for 2017, this time around another 1/48 Anigrand Firefox with a what if of a what if NMF, all done with various mixes of Alclad II. A few issues here and there with the Alclad but no crazing, the coat of Future over the gloss black base has eliminated that issue. Next up will be a lighted 1/48 Fine Molds X-WING but that is for next week, time to catch up with a few jobs elsewhere. :-) Thanks for Looking.

March Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 As a fan of the late Craig Thomas and the film, may I say that I'm sure Mitchell Gant and Kenneth Aubrey would approve, as do I. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really do like that, brilliant finish! Think that I have read all the Craig Thomas books, he had a knack of grabbing my attention within the first 2/3 pages, though I had always felt that a film of the follow up book, "Firefox Down", would have been a great idea!

AngstROM Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Wow; wish the one in the movie looked like that! I suppose, in early '80s Tinseltown, 'Stealth' = Black, with a flattish, slightly menacing sheen that speaks of inconceivable radar-transparent materials (and someone on fingerprint-cleaning duty 24/7!) Fabulous work -literally! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhatter Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 you've done your usual masterful paint work using Alclad however, in my opinion - it looks way better in black I have been keeping my eyes peeled to eBay looking for a cheaper one and just not seeing anything come up. I shall just admire yours instead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
