SV-51 Custom Paint: RMAF 75th Pioneer 'Flying Tigers'

[boyarque]

Hi alls...

I already have this cannon fodder in my possesion for a few months now....and always I am thinking, I want to repaint this. At first I thought of only doing the weathering...but then, why limit it there?

I can't do the repaint myself of course, so I contacted my friend who previously did an awesome job on my 1/48 VF-1S Roy Focker..

I asked him whether he can turn this:

into THIS!:

His answer: BRING IT ON!

Will keep this updated with progress report.

Does he have this schematic for reference?

If you want him to hate you, ask for the revised versions of the scheme, they're like "super digital":

Thanks man, the last picture sure is the best!

I already emailed him the pics, let's wait what he'll say!

OMG most of us would have a brain hemorrhage trying to do that. Will be very interested how it turns out.

[boyarque]

gonna ask him to custom made some decals:

That is going to be an interesting and exhaustive undertaking for your friend.

Good luck, and well wishes to your friend.

Oh, It's just like Flak's VF-19:

Wow, that is a nice one! I can't wait to see my project's completion.

love that paint scheme. Can't wait to see the end result.

Nice. I've always liked gray cammo. How much does this guy charge for custom repaints, anyways?

Quite reasonable for his skills. For example, repainting and weathering my 1/48 VF-1S costs me RM 200 ( approx USD 62 ), repainting my silver Binaltech Argent Meister to G1 scheme with decals costs me RM 150.

That is insanely cheap!

[Dobber]

Nice! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Wow, pretty good price! Does that include shipping, or do you have to go to the guy's place and pass the figure to him yourself?

That 19 is just AWESOME. Can't wait to see how the 51 turns out.
