Gazzas Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Now that is cool! One would hardly believe that under those smooth curves and crisp lines lies some heavily cut and gouged plastic. Fantastic transformation! Gaz F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F`s are my favs Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 Thank you gents! I'm finishing the masking now and indeed i think that now i figured it out about what is all about the namesake of this bird - the spider. The combo of RAMs along all the leading/trailing edges. Here is the look when they are a little more contrasting than the rest of the plane: Shawn M, Hubert Boillot, Gazzas and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F`s are my favs Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) Now the "patchwork", the rivet lines, a pin wash, and polishing are following... I cut the templates out of a paper sheet and here is the "white" coat just freshly sprayed: And the camo is on. The colors are absolutely homemade - i tried to replicate the Raptor camo and yet i mostly adjusted them to my taste. Here i tried to get the glare of the Have glass on a direct daylight: And on these i tried to capture the shine when the sunlight beats down from 1 direction. I think i'm happy with the result and actually this is my first successful camo of this type, which is my favorite indeed.

Squizzy 78 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 It's a shame that the f-23 never went into production, because looking at this it looks so awesome! Shawn M and F`s are my favs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 The painting and the pre-weathering are done. This beauty turned out quite insane after removing the masks for the RAMs of the leading/trailing edges. But first, some pics after riveting and pinwash: Shawn M and Uilleann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
