Hi guys

Some more painting....

Basic color scheme (with lousy natural lighting).



And some markings on the base.



And finally the decals (this time with good lighting).















Thanks for watching!

Color me surprised as well!

I really like this take on that famous Armée de l'Air camo!

That is both a clever use of a Mig-17 and old MaK parts and a beautiful diorama. You have the eye of an artist. I don't know what you did with the rest of the artist, but you at least got his eye. Great work!

This first class all the way!
May I ask what did you use to make all those rivet holes? They are all so straight and even.

Hi guys

Sorry for this delay.

To make the rivets I used the trumpeter riveter and a metal ruler. Not fantastic but gets the job done...eventually :)




The good news is that the project is finished!

Please find below the photos.

That .. is .. fantastic! 8)

While I don't know if it could fit into the Ma.K universe it certainly looks like it should.

Really, really great build, Antonio! :)

I"m going to start sending you my dentist's bills...since you continually produce such draw-dropping models! I think I've shaken some fillings loose gaping at your work.

Superb!

What a beauty!!! And then there is the MaK-17 Hammerhead. I love a girl dressed in combat boots.  ;)

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

 I don't know much about Ma.K either, but I'm having a great time enjoying all the fine details, paint job and weathering on this model!
