rom1 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Hello, Here is my latest build. It was in fact a "common build" with a friend. I decided to depict the bort number 35 of French Navy. It was the last cruise "Crouze" (its nickmane)catapulted from Foch carrier in 1999 during Operation trident in Kosovo. I added Aires cockpit and the decal a mixed between SMDS, Hasegawa and MDC. Painted in Humbrol 157 and 144, sealed with Microscale gloss varnish. Weathering done with oils: "gris de payne", sepia and black. One more time sealed with Satin/matt Microscale varnish. Metal areas are airbrushed with Humbrol Metacote 27003 then polished with cotton. Complete build process here: http://fighters.forumactif.com/t59829-montage-en-commun-rom1-et-snow-white-f8-crusader-1-48 ..but in froggy language... sorry ;^) Hope you like it! Thanks for passing by! cheers! Rom Edited September 20, 2013 by rom1 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I like that, especially the scuffs from the groundcrew's boots and the wear around the cockpit, all very realistic. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
