AC-130H IDF Diorama

Scale:
1:72
Status:
Completed

A "what if representation" of Italeri's 1:72 gunship AC-130H , in israeli markings.
The model was represented like this because i wanted to get a different color scheme other than the common grey color, so i went with this approach.did some customizations inside the aircraft,added insulation panels made out of soft foam and plastic bags.
Paint brushed the model, applied a protective coat ( sadly, it reacted badly,giving a rough texture to the aircraft skin ).
Afterwards, i scratch built a GPU out of unused parts and wire.
Lastly, i added Italeri's ground crew and scratch built a tent and covered cargo crates. I used a piece of fabric and old sprue pieces, molded by heat, for the tent.used paper tissue and diluted glue to cover matchboxes and simulate cargo.
Hope you enjoy the photos.

PS:It was my first project, as i am relatively new to the hobby, so forgive me for the errors that might be ?
