rom1 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hi! Here is my latest build completed in just two months. It is the Hobbyboss 1/48th offering. Despite shape inaccuracies, the kit is still enjoyable to build. Few parts, good fit. I reworked some points: - File down bumps forward the engine fairing on the upper side - rescribe the too thin panel line - add riveting Paints are Gunze and varnishes are Microscale. Decals from Caracal to depict the real PAV2 prototype, while kit decals are "what if". Some pics: Hope you will like it! Cheers Romain 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorfinn Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Always loved the look of this beastie, and you've made a superb job of it! Really love the faintly lizard-ish looking paintwork, makes it look just that more dangerous. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Romain BEAUTIFUL set, it should have been chosen instead of the YF-22, it was stealthier and faster, the f-22 is more manouvrable. But in my opinion there is no point in being agile if you can't outrun your foe in the first place. Also is this kit exepensive i might make TSR2 replacement whiff on a whiff with the Black Widow II as the base chomp chomp -raptor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
