Darth Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Just completed an excellent Revell's tiny Starfighter. Basically OOB, I dropped the flaps & opened the airbrakes. I also used decals from Astra's - very finely printed set of decals. Thank you for looking. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daywalker Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Awesome build, thought it was the 1/48 kit until I read the description more closely! That second shot filmed over the blurred runway looks like the real deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PetarB Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) The only giveaways on the scale is the undercarriage and the engine can on the back. Amazing work - just look at the airbrakes! A real stunner! Edited April 3, 2012 by PetarB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wege Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) My first thought was - Astra/DACO decals by the large number of them :P How did you find they went on.. BTw.. FANTASTIC work.. :) Edit- oh yeah..... How did you pull off the runway so well? Edited April 4, 2012 by Wege Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keith Diamond Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 That is simply amazing! Especially for its scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thank you for the kind words guys. The runway was printed on an A3 sheet. I went to Google Map and took a snapshot of an airport runway (my case Heathrow). I then filtered it with motion blur in Photoshop. Astra decals is excellent, very comprehensive - covers just about every squadron in GAF. The film is very thin and went on nicely without any silvering. Definately recommended.
