The Madhatter Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi everyone I'm back again with something I actually just finished building - not something I built a couple of years ago and repainted. I think this is a more appropriate aircraft to wear a splinter scheme. This scheme, to my knowledge, isn't in service and the ID number is fictitious. I just wanted something a little bit different. The colors, although not intentional, seem to be more Arctic than anything, so we'll call it that. They are (for those interested) Gunze #338, 324 and Tamiya XF-69 NATO black & the metallics are all Alclad As for the kit it self - the only let down for me was the gear bay doors. What is it with model companies not being able to make the bay doors actually fit and flush to the fuselage?? I've never had a kit where the doors actually look right shut as well as open. It seems they only want you to display it with the gear down.... Oh well, it's my only complaint, and one I can live with - besides, you don't really see them anyway. As always, thanks for stopping by and having a look. MH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
White Wolf Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Nice build, and the use of a black stand against a black backdrop makes the in-flight pose look great! I'll have to remember that if I ever build an in-flight model. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Very sharp salt-water Flanker there...if that scheme isn't in use, it should be! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bearmatt Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 This one should be posted on the what-if forum as well. Great job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Madhatter Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks guys :) "what-if" forum? That's not on ARC though right? If so, then I think it's time for me to buy some specs :blink: Jochemp - you like Vipers huh? :D nice collection you got going on there! In fact, I think there's more kits there than I've built in the last 6 years.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
