Berttt Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 (edited) After all the lurking I thought I'd share my Tigermeet VF-11. Enjoy! Berttt Edited July 3, 2004 by Berttt Quote
Berttt Posted July 2, 2004 Author Posted July 2, 2004 (edited) Side. Excuse the bad photography, I'm using a borrowed digital camera. Edited July 3, 2004 by Berttt Quote
Berttt Posted July 2, 2004 Author Posted July 2, 2004 (edited) The decals were some old UH-1 markings that I had kept around. I never throw out decals, you never know when they might come in handy. Edited July 3, 2004 by Berttt Quote
Berttt Posted July 2, 2004 Author Posted July 2, 2004 (edited) The kit is a Bandai 1/144 scale VF-11C that I picked up cheap from ebay. Unfortunately I lost the canopy along the way and had to shape a 1/100 VF-1 canopy to suit. It's not perfect but better than no canopy at all Edited July 3, 2004 by Berttt Quote

Berttt Posted July 3, 2004 Author Posted July 3, 2004 (edited) Right. All the stripes were painted by hand, and the UN SPACY marking were donated by a 1/170 VF-1S I have had since the stone age. Anyone who has one of these kits will know that the kites are scribed into the kit so they were easy to paint by brush, add a black wash and voila! Edited July 3, 2004 by Berttt Quote
007-vf1 Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 My only suggestion is that next time you do one file the tip of the nose down and reconstruct it longer with milliput or other putty. Originally the model looks bubbly and takes the illusion of realism away... Quote
