S.A.F.S. Type R "RACCOON"

[ScootyPuffJunior]

 

This is the 2021 boxing of the S.A.F.S. Type R "Raccoon" from Wave. This is one of my favorite Ma.K designs and I was really looking forward to doing it, however, I was never quite satisfied with my chosen base colors but instead of binning it or stripping and repainting, I just pushed through. I started to make a scenic base for it but since I wasn't really happy with the direction the suit was going, I decided to save it for another project. This was finished a little over a week ago and looking back at it now, I'm a little more happy with how it turned out. 

 

Comments and criticism welcomed as always!

I think that's one to be proud of! Minimal weathering, I love the contrast of that colour on the inside of the hatch.

The monotone green makes a nice change from multiple camouflage colours too. Oh, and I like the markings, Fish!

Nice welds and the rusty exhaust is a subtle feature.

It must be Kreiger month, this is the second one in the last week.

Keep them coming. Regards, Pete

Looks great. I like the worn and weathered grunge look you've achieved. Wish I had one of these to go shopping in.

Who'd want to be the pilot in one of these?

Looks decidedly claustrophobic in there!

 

Great build, though.

 

Cheers,

Alan.

That's really cool, I keep looking at Ma. K kits but I've never gotten around to buying one yet.
