HOLY C%$P!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is amazing work!!!!  Welcome aboard, and PLEASE show us more of your goodies.
    Did you paint that camo pattern freehanded with an airbrush??  What colors did you use....it looks right at home with the Greek markings.

[Brutalos]

Haha! You made me laugh with those awesome comments         .

Now for the questions of BobbyK, yes the camouflage is painted freehand with a double action airbrush  B) . The colours that was used where in total approximation as follows (since i didn't had the enlightment to keep a log of mixes percentage (%) when i made 'em) :

FS 36307 , LIFECOLOR - UA 113 , with GUNZE mixes using the : H-334 & Η-337 in 5/1 proportion.
FS 36251 , LIFECOLOR - UA 034 , with GUNZE i used exclusively the Η-337 with some addition of mat white H-11.
FS 35237 , LIFECOLOR - UA 145 , with GUNZE (now thats one picky b@st@rd) it can be done with H-42 & Η-25 & H-11 & H-308 in 3 / 1 / 3 / 2 proportion.
The deep blue tone is almost identical to the one used on the Hellenic Mirage-2000's. It comes from a mix using the Η-42 & Η-308 in 3/1 proportion.
The lifecolor codes are being given because i took those as a reference to make the first three. They did helped me alot to achieve the colour tones that i needed.

I hope this helps more than confuses!!      B)   . Ohhh, and by the way, here you are, three more pics to try and ease your apetite for more .

That is one damned impressive display of freehand airbrushing!!!!!!

The F22 looks awesome. I've got the italeri F22 I think that I willl have to go and chase up those detail sets.

Welcome aboard!

FANTASTIC!!!


10/10, go to the top of the class  B)


Is there a thread on ARC?  I'm sure their resident F-22 drivers would like it    

[John Howling Mouse]

That does it----I'm packing up the modelling tools, etc. and goin' HOME!  

This is way too good.  

Ridiculously good.  I mean, I've heard about models this good but thought they were mythical, like King Arthur, life without taxes, lesbians without chest-hair...

This is so over the top.  How does anyone get to this degree of excellence?

Inspiring but a little scary too.  Time to add a new folder to my collection of What If Artwork.

Thank you for your kind replies! See you soon with the next project   .

[Brutalos]

Between September 28th and October 1st we had our annual IPMS modelling contest. I went there with my What-If Raptor.... and here are the results!! Gold medal in the What-If category! It sure gave me strength to continue the ongoing projects. Thank you all again for your kind words some months ago. I also found out that almost everybody liked the Raptor in its What-If camouflage much better that the dull two tone grey one .

[Radish]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Very well deserved too    

[upnorth]

Absolutely stunning!

I don't care much for the Raptor in reality, but your rendition of it here is great.

Congratulations, and thoroughly deserved
