Moebius BSG Raptor 1/32

[John_drummer]

I think this is finished now. OOB with additional Eduard seatbelts from their 1/32 BAe Hawk (T Mk53 iirc).

airbrushed with a mix of Humbrol, Revell and Tamiya acrylics

Nice, the interior is well detailed.

[John_drummer]

Thanks :-) apart from the seatbelts, just what comes in the kit. 

Floor & cockpit sprayed with Revell AquaColor 09 Anthracite, dry brushed with a bit of Tamiya XF16 Flat Aluminium to bring out the detail. Nice kit decals to replicate the glass cockpit & Dradis screens.

 

only problem was the fit of the canopy, left big gaps down the sides where the frame meets the body. Bit of filler, gently sanded back so as not to lose the “Helo” and “Athena” pilot / co-pilot decals

Frack, Fabulous job on a great looking slightly well worn Raptor, and the whole office just comes alive those seat belts additions, very nicely done sir.

"So Say We All" Cheers.

Oh yes. I want one of those, but I'd be pleased to do half as good a job.

[John_drummer]

Thank you, glad you like it

Sometimes you have to roll the hard six

 

Great work, very convincing

Did not know why such much dust in space.

 

 

 

 

 

I just wish this model were availably locally, but alas no.

 

Looks great !

[Gimme Shelter]

looks great completed - beautiful model

Good work - is it an easy build, or tricky?  I read the bit about the canopy not being a great fit

[John_drummer]

Easy enough, yeah. The canopy is a nice tight fit, but a couple of mm too narrow. Or maybe I built some extra space into the cockpit by accident

That's the trouble, isn't it?  You never quite know whether it's you or them - and your attitude is way better than those that immediately blame the kit   I've been in the same position before, and quite often I'll eventually decide it was my fault.  We're all human(ish) afterall
