Amphion's Sv-51r Nora Type "macross Zero"

[Amphion]

Seeing as some are already finished with their entries, and I've yet to get the preverbial arse out-of the wagon   .

I finally got an idea of what I wanted to do   , here's a first picture just to prove I'm still in the running:

[Mossie]

Pink!?!?!  Rad'll be in raptures!  I'm intrigued....

[Amphion]

She's molded in pink but she won't stay that way for long  

This is a Hasegawa kit and the instructions are all in japanese, for a long time I couldn't figure out if it's a snap-tite kit or not. Finally I obted for the later.

As this is a sci-fi/whiff-kit OOB, I kinda went with a de-whiffing approach    

[Mossie]

Ah, found it, from one of them Japanese animine film thingys, that my brother & nephew go nuts for & I know very little about!

Pinky purple one:


And another variant of the same aircraft:


Nice looking kit & a very cool plane, looking forward to this Amphion! B) So I guess your putting this sci-fi jet in real world markings?

[size=8]NB! If these three are the don'ts, then I'll gladelly stick with the fourth.[/size]

Ahh Macross the one thast statred it all. The original series was what got me interested in Anime in the first place.

Can't say I know much about Macross zero but I like the design.

What scheme are you doing?

Sorry about that! I'd never looked inside the box too closely...

[Amphion]

No worries,

It's got lots of perrdie pictures too  

I'm not building it like it's supposed to anyways

Ah, the creed of the consumate "whiffer."

Looking good so far.  Can't wait to see how you twist this to your own making!

[Amphion]

Not much in the way of updates, but a few pictures. BTW JHM, thanx for the fine words but she'll be nought compared with your boy wonder   .

Here's the work place, "See prodjekt iss on see tabbel":



Heres two orientation pics, so you'll get the feel of my hide-out.
First standing at the workplace, with my back to it, facing the room:



And again from the far side of the room looking back (yes, in the far corner behind the boxes is the workplace   ):

[Amphion]

Work is progressing.....slooowly  

[BlackOps]

Lookin' good, nothin' wrong with slow and steady. These kits fit very nicely together but sure have a ton of parts! Looking forward to seeing more progress.

[Amphion]

Well I'm finished, with a few days to spare (unless we get an extension) i opted to not venture in to weathering 'cause I just might reck it.  

So here I present to you:

The Canadair CL-51 (CF-151) Silver Arrow

She was first intended as a German luft '46 kinda fighter but when the paint-job had dried she practically begged for some leafy roundels. Luckily I had some in an old Esci set. I've never used these before and all I ever hear about them is that they can be a hassle, but I think they turned out OK.

Lack of time prevented me from adding underwing stores. I'll try to complete with these as soon as possible (just needs to deside what to fit), maybe if we get an extension.

Anyhow, here's the pictures:

Freakin' scary, Amphion! I love it! You're right, those maple leafs are perfect for it!
Two thumbs up!
