Gelerth Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Thanks again. To compare size of Fulcrum I took a photo with HUMMVEE (bottom) and AAVP (top): I have painted engine covers: Masking and painting of nozzle: After painting: And put together only to picture: They still need some work like dust and white shades but I could not resist to temporary put all together (only front canopy is glued): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.Wolf Grant Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Superb - the exhaust nozzles look terrific. I said it before and I'll say it again - great choice of colour scheme. Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelerth Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Thank you all. I'm leaving today for short holiday, so I won't be able to continue my work now. I hope that after that I will share with you some fresh photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelerth Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Looks really good. Your base is from where? I like the paint masking job. Oliver Oliver, base is made in very simple way. Main part is a wooden shelf which can be purchased in every store with contsruction materials like OBI, LeroyMerlin,Castorama or Praktiker (I'm not sure which store is around you). It is in various sizes, I do my model on 40cm x 60cm. On this is cut to 36cm x 60cm size plaster board. It's covered with paper on both sides and it have to be removed from one side. Dependind from which side you will remove paper you will get pretty smooth surface or a little cranky one. The easiest way to do this is to sink in water (I do it in old bath), wait a while and then start to tear paper off. In most cases I have to use it hard brush to remove rest of the paper. Then with careful I lay this plaster board on a flat surface to let it dry for a few days. When it is dry I'm gluing it to wooden base. Next I scribe lines with needle or knife. After this you can paint it, add pigments or whatever you like. I will search for some photos from previous builds and paste here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelerth Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Thank you all for such a nice comments. To Rob: As far as I know only Russia operates "M" version. I heard that Syria ordered some of them but I'm not sure if they got those planes already or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
