Something new from something old

Beautiful model and top notch paint job
I am going to look for that model in ebay

Yeah, I think stunning pretty much covers it.

Beautiful work.   

Seconded

At one point in the project I actually started to enhance the details, but for some reason I changed my mind. Here are some shots of the detailing before it was "canceled".

I did a shorten version of the SR-75 Penetrator, the YF-75 Merlin fuselage before being chopped to a shorter length.


Here is a shot of preparation to fabricate a bulkhead.


Two engine or four...which will look better down the intake inlets?


Preliminary detailing of the "Speed brake" and the weapons bay...both were not incorporated into the build.

I think I just wet myself.   That thing is gorgeous!

Yeesh, the stuff you don't even end up incorporating is better than a lot of features I do choose to leave on my models.

That... is... SWEET!!!   

Always enjoy Scale-o-Ramaed stuff.

Excellent work!!

I always loved those "sci-fi" looking airplanes!! 

Just a little question about the "F-75" and "MELRIN" white decals. Didyou manage (I don't know how) to print white color on clear decal sheet, or do you just cut some already printed white letter?
I ask that because I have a project in stand by just because I cannot find the good white letters

Holy crap dude, now I'm embarrassed to show my models. Love that paint technique. You could use any shape on the template.

[Hawkeye]

White lettering is dry transfers. I use dry transfer whenever I can.

The painting technique can be used with any shape.  Create a shape then thin down some acrylic paint (color doesn't matter), hang a piece of paper vertically and give the technique a try.
