paul coudeyrette Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hello First Assembly of the three trumpeter models, I took a lot of pleasure to make this decoration, non-existent decals, so completely made brush including badges, only initials air force and buzz number in box "surplus". Three decorations "candy" of Chaumont at that time, I had a preference for the... painting humbrol and rub is buff, plus various pastels... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 That's a staggeringly great piece of work, I love the pilots' helmet as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafrobbo Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Superb work, detail & finish I can only dream of. Top marks and an excellent choice of scheme on a classic sled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul coudeyrette Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thank you everyone Stryker, sorry to you pain (kidding!) hope to mainly see you do better than this... With regard to the pictures of times, I have no, I used to just raise the nose to the passage of these raptors with other concerns, like any citizen at this age,.. .that photography! , and today, the photos make me defects (do not repeat in... Madam!) Now, between us, even if these devices were of "iron"..., they had a different stamp than the current ambient gray! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daryl_five_zero Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yes, yes, very nice reference photos, but where are the pictures of your model? Jokes aside, that is an absolutely cracking build mate. You can tell when someone does a great job, when they can make you really interested in a plane you'd never really otherwise have a particular interest in. And I definitely spent 10-15 mins just looking at your pics, wondering how the bloody hell you managed to make it so lifelike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungo1974 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Beautiful Rooster Weenie! Although im pretty sure by the time the 48th FBW started using this candy cane paint scheme they'd moved from Chaumont to Lakenheath. Doesn't detract from your beautiful build though!.....I can only hope when i finally get to mine which i plan to build as the Wing Commander's jet with the blue/yellow/red candy stripes it comes out half as nice as your i'll be stoked Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
