Done! Alpha Jet 1/48 Wingman Models

So, after a few weeks, a lot of masking and quite some patience, I can call this one done.

Pretty satisfied with it. Didn't go for a lot of wheathering since this livery is for a demo aircraft and they would have kept it pretty clean.

Some general considerations:

The kit on which this is based is pretty crude in a sense that small parts are quite thick and require quite some clearing and sanding. The extra's are definitely an improvement but they requiem some extra work and the contrast with the original pieces is substantial.

In any way, a very nice addition for my BAF collection.

  8. Nice work, Stan. We don’t see those built very often.

  9. Thx a lot everyone.
    It's not a very common model is it.
    Most European fighters aren't that widely used anymore since let's say the 70's or 80's

  10. Now that’s a sleek looking aircraft in an even more sleek livery!
    Well done, Stan @stakke
