Karlo Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Hello guys. I always loved shape of F-18 but i thought some other then low vis. camo would fit on him very nice. Build is straight from a box. It is really nice model with not so many fit issues. Model is brush painted using vallejo and revell acrylic colors. I hope you gona like it.. Feedback and comments are welcome. Story behind this model: Somewhere hiden in a plaines of Alaska he is waiting for his deadly move ! Have a nice evening ! 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngstROM Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Well, I always thought the Super Hornet would make a cool grey VFC-12 'Ambush' adversary...! Why shouldn't the Bones have some fun too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah; I got an Su-35S coming up with that thing sometime & I'm NOT looking forward to it! Besides, I'm not a fan of hard demarcations (or splinter patterns, for that matter!) on this kind of scheme -the wavy effect like this is much more to my liking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes splinter camo looks so aggresive, depends on pattern but mostly i like wavy too. And this is what i would like to build next :D. Looks so brutal ! http://studiogekko.blogspot.hr/p/rafale.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-14D tomcat in a jungle theme, kitty in a jungle I Know many of you are not fans of ''what if'' models but somehow i just love to do them, can't help my self. I just love to express my self through that builds. Tomcat is coming soon to final phase then i will make RAF eurofighter but in a desert camo . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i just love some heavy weathering ! I'm in the final stages of an Arctic F-16 build which I'll post up once done and found it quite difficult to weather in the sense that just right on the white looks like nothing at all on the black. Go a bit heavier so the black looks weathered and the white looks like it took a mud bath. I settled somewhere in the middle eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need acrylic paint, water and dishwasher ( is it spelled correct ?). So you give one drop of white paint, 3 drops of dish-thingy and 5 drops of watter. Stear it good and you are fine to wash model with it. It will give some great results on Black paint. Give it like 12 houres to dry and then clean it with wet paper towel. Works for me !
