Bolleken's 1:72 stuff

[LyleW]

great looking build.

Thanks and a small update from last night.
Worked on the bomb-racks and wheels.
Also simulated the "leackages" on the lower surface which are documented on several photos. Used thinned Tamiya smoke and Future (Pledge) applied by brush.

Your attention to details is simply impeccable. I particularly appreciate the printed source material you are using. Regarding the streaks from atmospheric flight, did you consider using a straight edge or two pieces of Taniya tape to make these marks more or less straight from point source to where the panel ends. Perhaps the streaks are more diffused as your work illustrates, but somehow I think any liquid flowing from an outlet or building up around the aircraft panels would end up being shot in a straight line opposite the direction of travel?



Hey I found this!

[Bolleken]

Thanks Bruce for your criticism. I reworked that a bit.
Nevertheless it has been finished.

Looks very nice! Pretty rare to see a built weathered F-117.

Looks great, Marius! All of your effects are amazing!!!

[Medicman71]

Man that looks awesome!!

[Duke Maddog]

Marius that is brilliant! That gives me some ideas for when I build one myself.

Sorry that I missed to update Bolleken's stuff for a while.
Nevertheless there is some progress and I wanna start with a left-over from last year:
Hobby Boss F-86, painted now with a first layer of aluminum by Vallejo Metal Color.



My Chengdu J-10 made a lot of progress and is now close to decaling. Was a Long journey to find a color match, especially for the dark gray which is now a mix of Revell Colors (black, blue, gray).





With every step I like this one more. So I am relly looking forward to do two J-20 (one prototype, one pre-serial in metallic gray)

That is looking fabulous - great job on the colour matching
