Bangseat Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hi all - first post here, and thought I'd do something a bit different: This was great fun to do...conventional model painting rather went out the window, and I used mainly homemade decals drawn with dip pen and acrylic ink. This was inspired by a real life aircraft in Katowice, of which there are plenty of photos on the usual sites, eg: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/5788170 Seeing as I bought the KP 3-pack, I think I'll do a clean one next! 64 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 That's pretty cool, although if ti was in my neighbourhood I'd probably try to tow it back to my house! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this machine :). It was there when I went through Katowice around 12 years ago. Very nice!

Same here, and scrub all that off it. Nice build. Something a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avgas Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Very nice! The front end artwork reminds me of 'Ndizani', the SAA special schemed 747 from the early 90's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisTheBear Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I've got the same kit, I've seen some photos from Katowice, but I never thought of doing this! Superb job and I love the weathering on the wings. DennisTheBear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangseat Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 That's quite something! Is that skin art for a Flight Sim model? It looks like you have really gone to town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is a skin for the game War Thunder. I wanted to ask you for photos of your model in good quality from different sides under 90* to create a skin, but for a long time I could not contact you. I had to paint it myself. But if you could share, maybe I'll improve something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
