International Scale Modeller

EDIT: I wasnt happy with the photos I posted in the first version of the reveal. The lighting was bad, the white balance was off and a majority of the pictures were over exposed. I waited for a better day and took new photos which are a lot better in my opinion. Enjoy!

First of all, here is the WIP thread

My eight build was my best build so far if I can say so myself. The kit worked out nicely, I also had a lot of firsts during this build. One of the good things about this build was all the information I was able to pick up about the subject. Gives the build a whole other dimension as a modeller. I decided to do a video reveal aswell, and that's also a first. Actually, it's my first ever video, so it might contain some rookie mistakes.


Video reveal/summary:

The Kit:

+ Decent fit
+ Very nice detail in some areas, like the wheel wells and the cockpit
+ Best canopy ive seen in 1/72nd scale.
+ Nice and detailed construction of the wings.
+ Alot of parts
+ No flash

- Decals, the silver alot
- Inaccuracies in the cockpit
- Lack of ordnance (smoke rockets)
- No open-canopy option
- Not very explanatory color call outs
- Seam lines

Cheers to everyone who followed and left feedback in the WIP thread, it helped me improve my modelling skills. Until next time,

cheers

Great finish, looks fantastic! Well done buddy

Amazing finish mate! A shame I didn't find the build thread until you had almost finished it . I read through it all and drooled over all the pictures (besides for what happened with the white tack masking ). You have made a damn good model there sir and I would be proud to make something even a fraction of how good that is.

Thanks! The white tack problem came as a surprise for me as I thought that crap only happened with blue tac, but I guess you learn stuff every day!

Looks brilliant along with some brilliant workarounds

Great finish Ludvig.

Seeing as you are the first Wild Weasel to finish, you get the job of Weasel lead.

Really like the heat effects on the tail. From the little I know, the Super Sabre was famous (infamous)? for it.

Very nice finish , great build ! Like the way as you depict those exhaust heat effects , looks like the real stuff

Great finish! Love the paintwork.

Fint jobbat!

Awesome stuff Ludvig and love the video too, although it made me strangely thirsty

Very nice my friend
