Redboost Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hi folks, this is Heller kit converted to V4 prototype using AP Modely resin conversion set. The kit was rescribed and the markings airbrushed using home made paint masks. The full story, among the others, will be appearing in coming Valiant Wings Airframe Album no.7.

Jinxman Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The Heller kit's great for its age, however the result here is stunning - well done - nicely photographed as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmarchal Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Most of us can make a newly released model look good, but to deliver this quality of work with an old kit shows real modelling skills. Very, very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisbod Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Is it just me or is the standard of modelling going through the roof... Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 come on - this cannot be a 1/72 Heller kit! It looks like at least 1/48 and like a well engineered Tamiya kit. Top notch paint job too - I love it. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redboost Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks gents! Rob: the masks are cut from vinyl foil on the Silhuette plotter using conversion's decals as base - they were scanned and file converted to the Silhuete software.
