DFN Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Hi all, Few pictures of my last completed model, a little "Banshee" from Academy-Hobbycraft. As part of a french modeler GB, I've decided to improve some part of the kit. And as pictures are better than words, let's show them... And finally, the "Banshee" finished... Hope you enjoy Edited January 17, 2010 by DFN Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MiG31 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 That's awesome. I like the drooped speed brakes and added wheel well details. The cockpit is quite sharp, too. I don't think I've ever seen a photo with those upper aft doors open, though. What references did you use? Aside from a couple online walkarounds, all I had at my disposal were the Squadron in-action and Ginter books for my build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TF51GREGWISE Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) I really like the handcrafted details the results speak for themselves. The overall appearance looks awesome and has a nice balance of weathering. Just maybe just a pinch more grim on the bottom side (just me :) ). On another note the brake doors look a little "pink" it maybe just a eye/lighting/camera thing. She is a real contender if you were to decide to place her in a model show.

As you I've the Squadron and the Naval Fighter but in all of those books and wlk-around, I've never seen a photo with those doors open so I just imagine what can be inside... :lol: On another note the brake doors look a little "pink" it maybe just a eye/lighting/camera thing. Your right, it's a little too "pinky", next time, i will paint white, yellow and then only red. Thanks all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

centuryfan Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Very nice "do-it-yourself" improvements and overall finish! My only (minor) criticism would be the quite dark panel lines. I also often tend to stray to the dark side when it comes to the final panel wash - but I've found that a light (grey) wash looks more realistic than a sharp dark one All the best Bernd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bolschoj Phantome Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 The interesting prototype. Fine work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rampage55 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Wow!...That's an absolute stunner. Certainly one of the best efforts at this particular kit I have seen. :D Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
