Thanks again.

 

To compare size of Fulcrum I took a photo with HUMMVEE (bottom) and AAVP (top):

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):

Looks really good. Your base is from where?

I like the paint masking job.

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.

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.
