scvrobeson Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Now that's a fantastic little tool to make life easier. Never would have thought of doing something like that, but I've written it down to try next time I have to do rockets Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 And this is what 24 little Zunis look like: The LAU-10's themselves are also coming together, I'll update on that progress soon. Cheers, Marcel Zero77 and A-10LOADER 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel111 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) Thx Misha! I completed the 6x LAU-10s... after years of planning and finally also execution, these puppies are finally done and I really like the way they turned out. There is a nice pic on p.170 of the Danny Coremans "Uncovering the US Navy Q/F-4B/J/N/S" book showing a VF-33 Phantom with six LAU-10's as shown here, I based much of the appearance of the launchers on that pic. One of the launchers in the Danny Coremans pic features a red partial band, so I replicated that on one of my launchers. I lucked out with the weathering. I had made custom stencil decals for the LAU-10s. After applying some staining using Tamiya "oil" weathering, the perimeter of the decals were highlighted by a very faint brown line. I decided to sand off the decals with 4000 wet & dry, fortunately they came off easily and by carrying on the sanding I introduced a very smooth finish that also somehow makes the oil/smoke staining look far more realistic. It also introduced a worn effect to that red band, which I like. The exhausts of the Zunis were scratched with rings cut from plastic tube. The TERs received a lot of attention also, I will cover that in a separate post.

dodgem37 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Damn nice, Marcel. Really nice detailing. Love your work, your research. I can see the TERs received a beauty makeover, as I tried to do something similar to the TERs of a SUFA. Sincerely, Mark Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
