Bolleken's 1:72 stuff

Post by Bolleken »

Beside several other projects I am currently working on a Matchbox MiG-21 (in flight).
I guess this finnish fighter won't look that bad.

Another one in work is a Dassault Rafale A by Heller in 1:72.

Currently it is almost ready to be painted as the demonstrator. I was too grasping :violin: to buy any PE-parts for the cockpit, so I made a screenshot from Rafale-PEs and printed them at home on paper. I like that look and it might be enough for that scale.

Your home made detailing on the rafale looks very convincing. :shoutout:

:that:

and a novel (if only a little bit naughty) idea to screenshot and print the PE on paper... :hmm: :whistle:

Naughty but cheap. And easy because you'll find a lot of PE's on the web without any branding or other protection. So it's quick 'n dirty...
