just wondering if anyone else does it? im working on some Sukhois right now, cant decide whether to paint them accurate colors or just cool ones
Yea I've done it for years and years. But it's on hold now since I need the space for TF's... and the fact I can't find any humbrol paints anylonger... I still have a bunch of aircraft in boxes i never got to build yet.
I used to be into model planes when I was a kid(built some helicopters too). But I eventually grew out of it. Now that I'm an adult, I stick to models of giant robots with laser guns.
I've done a couple in the past. I've still got a couple I still need to do. I've got a nice big Stratofortress that I still need to paint and put together, and a model of the Bockscar, and a couple others that I can't remember, that are sitting around here just waiting to be put together. I've also got at least one battleship that I still need to get working on.
hah a bit in reverse there, i wouldnt mind meshing the two making some of the futuristic planes that were eventually on the last couple ace combats
I have done a few, but not many. I did more cars then anything. What are you Sukhoi are you making? I would love to build a 1:18 size (or around that size) SU-27 or a SU-34 Strike Flanker.
Used to build them all of the time as a kid but ran out of room to display them so I stopped. I LOVED aircraft then and still do. As an adult now, I occasionally build anime character resin kits. I have MANY that I still need to build since I only build them when Im in the mood.
Way back when, oh yeah. Remember the old F-19 "concept" kits? I got to where I could build and paint and decal and topcoat the entire thing in one day. Properly even. I must have built at least ten of those things. And I had a full set of Thunderbirds. And I tried to get the Angel Hornet team, but only ended up completing two of them. And eventually got into camo paint jobs and weirder things, which eventually led to obsessing over Macross models, that I sadly got into right when they stopped being available in the states. But there was a lot of good times in model building back then. A lot of good times.
i have a 1:24 SU32 i panted in somewhat jetfire colors, a SU37 im currently painting, a SU32 still in the box, a F19 i painted awhile back, and a trainer i forget what it is, its a two seater that was in ace combat zero i think.
I used to build them when I was a kid. My grandparents would buy me a new one every time I came to see them, and my grandfather would help me build it. Man, those were the days.
I wanna get back into this and even bought some sets but they keep getting placed on the back burner.
ill get some tonight, i just laid the base color down on the 37, im not going with the 711 colors, but a more light seagreen with darker blue camo over it, i couldnt find two blues to do the regular russian blue camo thats what happens to me, ive been doing this one for almost a year now hah
ok after gluing and puttying and sanding this cheap chinese model i laid down the green basecoat then i tore random strips of leftover blue masking tape i had from painting my room then i sprayed the blue which is close to the masking tapes color making it look like a negative after removing it now i still jave to add the underwing armament, thrusters and paint the engine housings, and the cockpit and im done i believe
I haven't built any, since I was a kid. But, everytime I watch Dogfights on History channel I want to build model of a P-40, or an F-4E. I used to have a model of a recon variant of an F-4, when I was a kid. I still try to work that thing's camera encosure into some of my own sci-fi aircraft designs.
Looks good!...I like the negative effect... I used to build them years ago....when I moved from my previous place of residence, a bunch of them got trashed/broken....so I just gave them all away.
