Tribute to Dobber camo !!!!!! sv-51 repainting

[odr78]

just curious but why aren't any tried on the yf-19?

The SV-51 is more like a Sukkoï or a Mig than a YF-19

[miriya]

Great work. I look forward to seeing the finished job. Really nice.

[misterryno]

Ghostkiller,

Very good job thus far

[charger69]

Magnifique!

Allez, un peu plus d'effort, et on va avoir une SV-51 monumentale!

[Mowe]

Is looking very good already, keep it up.

[Sumdumgai]

Absolument superbe! Bonne chance avec les touches finales.

[Dante74]

That looks absolutely awesome! If Yamato doesn't do this scheme I might have to try this myself. The heatshield could use a metal look though instead of the current black.

[Nexx2]

It's beautyfull, congratulation Ghostkiller !

[dizman]

Wow that is a fantastic custom, very nice work (and it's not even done yet?). Sigh, im really hoping Yamato has enough sense to make a dobber custom. Everyone here would buy one at least.

[Scream Man]

looks great so far man. I think it needs a little more blue, but then u say it isnt done so maybe u agree.

[Jeremy007]

fantastic work!

keep it up!

[MaveRick]

now that's how a custom should be.. looking great already!!

wish i had your skill... and guts as well

[isamu_dyson]

Trés beau travail ghostkiller

If yamato will make one, i hope it'll be that great

hello guys

ok main painting body done for me

I may leave it here like that and apply decals that I have not found yet by the way and do the weathering

some more painting must be done for the finition some bit of metallic grey here and here on the legs

What do u guys think ???

any requirement ???

your ideas are welcome of course !!!!!

[KiriK]

very very clean paint job... excellent work =]

[Grand Admiral]

That looks great! I really hope Yamato releases a scheme like this because I don't think I'm brave enough to paint a $200 toy of my own.

[miriya]

Great work Ghostkiller!

There is one thing that I would suggest is to color in with black or gray those air intake slits that run diagonally at the back end near the jet engines/feet. That is really the only thing I would recommend. The paint job is fabulous. I do think that it would look even more awesome with some weathering and some subtle panel lining.

You Rock!

May I ask how many hours you have put into this mod so far (including taking it apart and reassembly.)?

[penachoy]

WOW! Ghostkiller gusty move man but very impressive. You should take different pictures of the different modes. Then someone needs to post it in the CUSTOM section. Great piece of work Ghostkiller!!!!.....

[eugimon]

wow, looks great. I wish for purposes of photography the light blue and grey were a little more distinct but it still looks amazing. I love how clean it looks.

Please post up some closer shots in sunlight if possible.

[Dobber]

Nice Job Ghostkiller! You are making me want to paint my one and only Yamato SV-51 justt like my Hasegawa SV-51. Again, nice job!

We need B MODE!

BTW, A comparison shot

In my opinion, Ghostkiller's SV-51 needs one more shade of lighter blue overall (which is equal to crazy masking).

Also I prefer upper sides of the lower legs in black, and black ankle lines where the feet starts.

[David Hingtgen]

I would do something with the legs--they're too monochrome when viewed from above. Either black like Dobber's (I think Nora's is black there too) or continue the splinter camo across them.

In the end I think it came out looking more like the actual Ukranian splinter camo pattern--which is what the NSAWC F-14's camo was supposed to imitate I think. But the colors are basically the original standard Flanker colors. I've included drawings of both the current blue splinter pattern, and the original more grey scheme.

My attemp to SV-51 Dobber by Ghostkiller retouch

[Arthurius]

I like Ghostkiller more than the other one, wow, nice job!!!! Beautifull.

[Chronocidal]

That's a beautiful job, the scheme really fits that plane well. I agree with the idea about the darker parts on the legs, but I'd compare it to the CF SV-51 pics just released.. they would look good dark, but blending them with the camo pattern would work just as well.

Only big difference I notice is the overall amount of blue being less on yours, not in the amount of patches, but in the size of them. It'd probably be tough to add more now though, so don't risk it if you like it the way it is.

[Dobber]

for mine I used 1 grey and 3 blues, and on Ghostkillers it looks like 2 grey's and 2 blues.

Chris

[David Hingtgen]

Depends on your definition of grey vs blue---all the greys are blue-greys and most of the blues are grey-blues.

[Dobber]

True . More or less....to the eye then.

Chris

I would say about 12 hours in total

Chris

HEY DOBBER

I used 1 grey and 2 blues

I could not find a third blue that I liked really........

shots would be better during the day it is true that the flash does change it I think

cheers

[Ghostkiller]

time for transformation I think it rocks..........
