ok I have decided to post a few of my builds here.
I’m not a member of any club and don’t show my builds off in any competitions, so other than another modelling site I’m a member of they usually are built and go straight onto my shelf in my current dungeon/work area
(it’s a ¾ height sub-basement!). They are normally only ever seen by my wife or anyone silly enough to be dragged down there!
I’ll post a few over the coming weeks so as not to flood/hog this area.
This first one was built for a MiG-21 Single Type GB, again using a 1/48 Eduard Mig-21MF as a base with lots of extras thrown in. I loved this aircraft from the first time I saw it and knew I just had to build it! The only thing that scared me was the colour scheme! I tracked down both some decals of the complete scheme plus some masks (now almost impossible to find) and after much thought decided painting was the only way to go with this one. There is over 7 hours worth of masking involved and it is painted in reverse, dark colour to light. Was so glad I decided to paint it, it looks amazing in real life!
Sorry the photos are a bit crap, I wanted to use natural lighting but it was a stormy day in Sydney.
