toniosky Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Skii, Thx for your answer. That ProModeller wash looks kind of easy to use and results are awesome. I will give it a try for sure ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nazar Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yesterday, the original of that plane which you have made, has had an accident. Pilots have not suffered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yesterday, the original of that plane which you have made, has had an accident.Pilots have not suffered. It'll be back in service soon - they make those Flankers tough Crane it up, bang out a few dents, be good as new in no time..... Like the one that made a on the runway at Bratislava in 1997 - they just jacked it up, lowered the landing gear and flew it out a few days later.Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alsany Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yesterday, the original of that plane which you have made, has had an accident.Pilots have not suffered. Nice catch Nazar.. Skii, your build is so good, that it made me feel really sad to see the real one stuck in the mud... Hey, there is a bright side of this.. Why not turn your project into a diorama of this accident??

Skii Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 ew, poor 25 Blue Glad she's ok though, especially the chaps inside. Looks like there's going to be some more 'weathering' needed after this one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skii Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Some minor work done, not had much time recently - Airbrake raised, chipping started and other small effects Edited January 3, 2012 by Skii Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Glad I checked back because it is looking very nice! Even the paint chips on the leading edge of the wing looks good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twhite80 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Thanks guysFine detail 0000 brush and Citadel Mithril Silver It looks very convincing. How do you keep the silver from being too think or clumping? I like the citadel paints but they always seemed to me like when I would paint on the chips that the looked painted on. Yours looks great.

Nazar Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Excellent model, accept my congratulations. The image of the real plane is very precisely transferred Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Hi John, I agree with these guys completely. Those paint chips are expertly done It's all too easy to get carried away when things go well and look as good as this so your exercise in restraint is commendable and the results all the better for it. Very convincing and realistic looking. I'm also most impressed by your subtle weathering. Finding a way to bring life to a show bird must be a real challenge but you are making it all look so easy. Great stuff! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skii Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) Bit of a milestone reached, wheels on (but not secured) - at least the airframe is up on its legs at last. Edited January 3, 2012 by Skii Quote Link to post Share on other sites

toniosky Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) Yes, really nice indeed, especially the painting and weathering. Amazingly realistic.
