Berttt Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 (edited) Hasegawa 1/72 scale VF-1J in Custom Royal Australian Air Force 75SQN colors. Mods are the cut and extended flaps and airlerons, positioned rudders and WM CHeng's patented styrene gap fill method between the wings. Also the feet/legs were drilled out to accept the mounts for the stand. I have yet to add the clear pieces to the wings and nose as I have placed 3 sets of clear parts somewhere very safe. I think I used every shade of grey that Tamiya produce whilepainting this kit. Cheers, Brett T Edited June 10, 2007 by Berttt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie addict Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 great job, you really nailed the grey scheme there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Nice I like Subtle colours. I also like the stand very much. Ive been thinking about making some custom stands for mine as I dont really like the Hasegawa ones (although I have two) and the clear ball jointed ones are not really me. Never though of putting the Valk on a stand like that. Nice one !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowie165 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Smooth work Berttt. Looks awesome. Mate I am 100% certain I'll be hitting you up for a how-to on those leading edge flaps, cause they look the business! Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astromanED Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Amazing custom, I wish there were more out there. The stand is wicked is there any more info on that? The pilot really stands out from the rest of the model (bright yellow) any chance getting some painting technique shots or close ups? Great model!

Sweet-1 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Awesome work. I love the stand as well, but am relaly liking the flaps. Has anyone thought of doing a resin upgrade set? I think itwould go over well. Sorry to get off topic, definately nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astromanED Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Yes Yes the flaps, any close ups of those would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berttt Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Thanks guys I am away from home right now but when I get back I'll do what I can regarding more pics, close ups and some more info on the flaps. Cheers, Berttt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric indigo Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I really love the paintjob & weathering. As for the stand, I think that using 1mm steel wire to connect the model to the base would have been more subtle. Plexiglass is really overated. -i- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
