danimalmagic Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Well guys I am calling these four done, just over 9 weeks from start to finish and I have to say this is one commission I wish I could keep. Each airframe has been based on a specific image/images as per my customer¡¦s requirements, we must have exchanged a few dozen emails since then ironing out specifics.All four are based on the standard 1/72 SR-71 and YF-12A kits with the addition of various Eduard etch detail, Wolfpack Seats and the Kiwi Resin Conversion Sets for the A-12 and M-21. As it is only 1/72 scale i did a WIP on Britmodeller if you are interested http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234957317-a-12-to-sr-71-titanium-quintuplets-wip/ Helped keep me sane that is for sure.Would not even like to have a guess at the hours put in but it allot that's all I know. As usual all painted with Tamiya acrylics.It was a big project so lots of pictures.A-12Thanks for looking.Danny Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danimalmagic Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 SR-71, this has proved tough to photograph, the weathering is a little stronger in reality, allot of the softer detail does not show up to well.Still another 2 to do these were recent additions to the project and not part of the original plan, A-12 Trainer the Titanium Goose with Kiwi Resin Conversion.This is going to be tricky as the 2nd cockpit is completely different to the SR-71B and will need to be scratch built. The second bird is the SR-71B, going to have a few days off and then get stuck into these two.Hope you all enjoy them, been a great project for me.Thanks for looking.Danny Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, getting the SR-71 the way i wanted was a real challenge, i was not aggressive enough at first, to scared of messing it up, it the end you just have to make a decision and be a bit bolder. Looks even better by eye, some of the detail is lost by the camers, a pity. Thanks for looking. Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
