Hypnobear Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi All Thought Id show you my latest creations - well, theyre not completely done by me. These kits were very kindly sent to me from the Modelmaker all ready assembled, and I decided I could use them to test some painting skills and schemes. Firstly is the Concorde: This 1/144th Airfix (?) Concorde was subject to my recent thoughts of what a Concorde would look like in Military service. At first I thought a nice Overall White scheme would be best, but that wouldnt have been much fun seeing as it was already white, so on goes a improvised RAF Camo! The markings from a Lightning and a Phantom, with the serial number from a Canberra - accuracy? NAA! Next is what I assume is a 1/48th scale (?) Fieseler Fi 156 Storch - no idea what company made it. Decided to just go for a nice desert scheme seeing as there was already a nice coat of blue on the undersides. One successful accident about this kit was the white paint I put on the rudder, wings and fuselage band. It turned out very clumpy so I decided to sand it off, however this gave a very interesting and realistic weathering look so I decided to keep it like that. One accident that wasnt so successful though was snapping the same wing ......twice ........whoops.... Lastly, heres one of them together Any comments welcome! And thanks again to Modelmaker for giving me this opportunity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypnobear Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Thanks for the comments! As with the RAF Concorde, it certaintly would have made a good flypast! Im planning to build a TSR 2 in that sort of paint scheme later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
