Alex Sidharta Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hi everyone, This is my current finished model : HU-16B Albatros of Indonesian Air Force. The kit is the old Monogram kit (which soon will be re-released by Revell) I got from eBay a few years ago. Decal was printed by my best friend, Sinang Aribowo. I used Gunze and Testors paint for this one... Cheers !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ming Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 great work on a unique subject lighting used in the last two photos makes it look so realistic. I think I see it in the June issue of Squadron flyer, maybe I should get one, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Nice pics of your build. The plane looks a little short and stubby in design. :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Middleton Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Alex - outstanding work! You did a great job on the finish. I built that kit a few years ago and made it a US Coast Guard plane Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Sidharta Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks Ken & Mikester ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircommando130 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Great job Alex! I built one years ago as a USAF rescue plane. There is one on static display here at Kirtland that if they would ever come out and open it up I'd be in line to get a look inside. I really like those old Monogram kits.

robw_uk Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 everyone agrees that is a lovely finish... for me... i want to nick your idea for the last shot - can you give details (or a setup shot) of just how you lit that....... I like artistic shots of my models and would love to try that with some of mine (think the Hornet would suit it as well)....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
