Desk Flyer Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present before you the results of much toil over the past few months, as described in excruciating detail here: The resin set by Starfighter decals was used along with other minor improvements I made. The major feature from my perspective is the paint job. I masked and painted the chevrons and cheatline as well as the tail and roll-bar yellow/blue details instead of using the supplied decals. The other thing was my first attempt at using lengths of photo etched metal for bracing. I know there are many problematic areas for which I apologise. But I did learn a lot with this build. Hopefully the next one will have less errors. Here are the pictures: Thanks for looking and... have mercy on me 53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Excellent Peashooter! I wonder what a livery like that should be called… anti-camouflage? 😉 Slick modelling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 That's stunning, hard to gauge the size due to the amount of detail and workmanship in it, but we know it's tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 A beautiful model,you have done a grand job and should be justifiably proud of your efforts. Great work. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Great paint job and the bracing looks good too. I have not read the wip thread but it looks to me as any problems were duly overcome. It’s a lovely wee model and as a bonus it won’t take up all the shelf space either. Well done 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 That is just beautiful! An excellent rendition of that very old Revell kit. The paint finish is superb. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvi Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Top notch work The Paint work was extremely well executed. I find the rigging wire to be a little out of scale and too large for 1/72..... but your work is of the highest caliber! The only material that may look more in scale but it is NOT flat wire is this: Infini Super Fine [it is also elastic and sticks in seconds with superglue. stretches nicely and doesnt break. https://www.bnamodelworld.com/model-planes-exterior-detail-sets-infini-model-inf-ir7200b Please do NOT take this as a criticism of your work which is rather nice WE are all limited by the supplies available to us.
