Wing_Nut Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I've just made a late entry to my xmas list after viewing your Flanker. . . . very realistic finish, especially the engines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Walker Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 My word! I knew it was big but that's the first time I've seen it next to something to give me some idea of scale. I'd need a new garage to store that thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spotter Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 excellent work with a really beautiful result Could you tell me which colours you have used for this Flanker? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doctorpepper Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 that is one big mutha!!! i don't think even the landing gear base would fit on top of my display cabinet... it's twice as long as a 1/48 viper!!! - wonders how i'm going to display a 1/32 tomcat - Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tire-kicker Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 What a beast! I bet it's as big or more than my 1/18 F-16C! Cheese & Rice, where am I going to put all these real-estate eating monsters! Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smig29ub Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 I had a real hard time finding the proper colors for this bird. I used modelmaster emanals: FS36270 Neutral Gray lightened just a bit with white Flanker Medium Blue for darker blue Flanker Medium Blue lightened 1:1 with white for lighter blue and bottom I tried a number of different colors and combinations and found the above to be the most accurate. I hope this helps. Thanks for all the great responses. Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trevortex88 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Please excuse my flanker ignorance, but is that a refuelling port on the spine there? If so, what do they use to refuel them? Thanks, Trev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
