Hi all,

I'm a french modeler. I'm here because of Sletch, a friend from "fighters" (french modelling forum).
Sorry for my English...

Here's my current project a Grumman F-47 "Bobcat" (Su-47 "Navalised" by Grumman).

I decided to make a special version seen in 2013 for the 70th anniversary of the "Jolly Rogers" Squadron.




Modifications for the US NAVY (sorry for the comments in french)











Painting





retouching

Beautiful work so far! :bow:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

How did you find such a big skull and bones decal? Did you make it yourself?

I made it myself with an airbrush, paper and an Xacto, it's faster than searching for the right size decal.

thanks all


by the way, i painted the radom and the false cockpit, like in all the the Jolly Roger's F-47s




cheers
