Lorebor Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hi everybody! My name is Lorenzo; I've been following this forum for a few years now and then I decided to sign in... I'm from Italy and I build models either in 72 or 48 scale. Here's my last one; it's an Hobbyboss 1/72 Mi-17 in Slovak Air Force markings... Bye! Lorenzo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lorebor Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Thank you guys! Great work! Can you tell me where you got the decals, and did you scratch build the chaff/flare launchers mounted against the fuselage? As far as know, nobody produces white slovak markings, so I had to do them myself: the decals (national insignia, tail numbers, warning signs and the Mil 17 logo on the frontal armour plates) were all drawn on Corel Draw and printed with an Alps printer. The camouflage too was made with decals; after I painted the light green base color, the pixels were cut from a clear decal film, painted with the three colours of the camo pattern (red brown, sand and dark green). The flare launchers were scratch built... Bye! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
