geedubelyer Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hi Marcel, Just got back from a week away to see that you're almost home. Your Flanker looks superb. Can't wait for the final photos in the Display case. Good job. Cheers, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel111 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thanks Tonal, Thanks Guy! Silly me for not checking the status of my paints ahead of time, I'm still waiting for the Tamiya clear red. Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zactoman Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Your Flanker is really looking outstanding! Thanks for posting the pics of the missiles in the ZactoGallery! I hope you add some beauty shots of the finished model there as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Madhatter Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 this is such an unreal build. I have the same kit (less all those goodies - but that'll change soon enough). You have inspired me to slap on that scheme (I LOVE splinter schemes and this is one of the best examples I've ever seen) to mine.....when I get around to building it and have sufficient shelf space Looking forward to the end shots!

Marcel111 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Thx Madhatter, thx Chris! Chris, the build would of course never have happened without your and Alexander's work! Here are some beauty shots. I haven't gotten around to constructing a background set so these will have to do for now: Thanks to you ARCers for all the support throughout this long build!!

blunce Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 BRAVO! Amazing work man. A long road, but in the end, look what you're left with! The icing here would be some forced perspective photography, you build already looks so real, adding real scenery like runways, tarmac, or hangers would just be the cat's meow!

The icing here would be some forced perspective photography, you build already looks so real, adding real scenery like runways, tarmac, or hangers would just be the cat's meow! -Brian Thanks Brian... yeah, I do need to get some better pics done... but right now we're on vacation on a beach house near Charleston, SC, so that will have to wait Cheers, Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMan Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 You know Marcel, this is one of the reasons that I love building models. Always striving to one up my last build. I am really glad that I missed this one from the time you started it until you finished it because I wouldnt have been able to contain myself waiting for the next update to this showcase of your amazing skill. Thanks for the last two years of your life I got to witness in a matter of a few hours! Now everyone wipe away your tears, lets all demand an ENCORE! I know we will get it with your next build! BTW, Congrats on your 2nd child. Cant wait for the next one! Ummmmmm, build that is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
