SV-51 customized version (comission work)

Recommended Posts

Hi.

This is my recently comission work finished: Hasegawa's 1/72nd SV-51 from

Macross Zero.

Basically is the version used by Nora in the OVA, but the pattern of paint

was customized. It is Tamiya bright blue (to me, a close tone of the YF-21

color), Federal Standard Medium gray with the addition of the Nora's decals

vers.

To the base, I add 2 plates of plastic styrene, one of them I cut in few

squares and glue them to represent part of an airport or something like

that. Originally it has a white "5" but my client told me to add an extra

white "4" conforming a number "45" :huh: . Before painting, was "texturized" the

surface. The color used on the base was FS 36375, Medium gray for the

dark shades between squares (post-shading) and neutral gray to unify the tones

of grays. Add some oil effects, dirt, dust on some points of the base.

Hope you like it.

Hi.

Thanks for your comments guys. ^_^^_^

David Hingtgen: That was I told him. To be a "45" must be an airport with the size of Texas :wacko:

Originally my client wanted a black with red flames scheme (I did the drawings), so it could be plane with the black around the model due it's a dark color, also the details of the aircraft could be lost (panels, rivets, etc). I suggested a WWII Coursair's scheme (2 or 3 tones I think would look great) or the F-18 Navy with 3 tones of grays. He chose a gray with semi dark blue. I did the drawings with the final scheme.

He's so happy now with the results.

Thanks again for your very appreciated comments ^_^

Best regards

Eh...I don't think it's possible even then. There are only 360 degrees in a cirlce, so I think runway 36 is about as high as the numbering can go...no matter the size. Or is there another convention in place for particularly unique airfields?

36 is the max. If you exceed 3 parallel runways (I.E. 25L, 25C, 25R--DFW has a "C" runway) you start "fudging" the numbers and go one off---so you can have 25L, 25R, 24L, 24R----even if they are all really aligned with 247 degrees and should technically ALL be runway 25. That allows 6 runways "straddling" the same true magnetic heading. San Francisco is a famous example of "4 perfectly parallel runways, but with 2 different numbers". (28 and 29 I think)
