Jay They are 3 cheap 500w halogen with "soft boxes" made with recycled cardboard, aluminium film for kitchen and baking paper.....very inexpensive set, but I'm not satisfied even I use this system for years, I hope soon to move to pro-studio flash. Tractor are my production, see the signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Rhodes Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Very nice build and diorama. Is the Revell kit the same as the Italeri 1/72 F-104C, didn't there was an alternative? Have the Italeri kit in the stash, hope it comes out half as good as this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping you could shed a light on where you got your yellow lightning(s) for the tail. Everything else seems indeed quite generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
