Michael PhillipsAll done with this one! Very happy with this, it fought me a bit but in the end I was able to come out on top. The wifey is pleased to have a model of the Air Force from her homeland on display, so that makes me feel good. Hope everyone else likes it too!

Slavo HazuchaYou have an eye for capturing the "visual essence & soul" of a particular aircraft - it's not just about "making it look nice" by blasting layer upon layer of techniques on a model, it's about getting behind the small things that make a certain specific look... This reminds me of the Indonesian Viper done by Jos some time ago which checked all the "Southeast Asia look & feel" boxes...
The Flanker is a big canvas & your base color & the weathering mix is just spot on (again) - a joy to behold 👍🙂

Nathan DempseyTop notch finish Michael🙂 This was a great choice for markings. You made us happy and more importantly the wife. I'm marking this one for reference too.

Jos JansenIt's absolutely a superb looking Flanker, I love your choice to build an Indonesian version. I'm sure your wife will love it! You convinced me Michael, I definitely want to build Flanker and that will definitely be an Indonesian version, I can use your fantastic model as a reference. As Slavo noted, we both have the South Asian vibe...😎

Murad ÖZERindeed it's a mean looking flanker and a great looking build!😎
actually i am in love with these indonesian flankers since i've seen 'em in one of those hornet/sf ball videos flying alongside with hornits and doing some acm.

Michael PhillipsThanks Maciej, Slavo, Roland, Eelco, Günther, Nathan, Augie, Jos, and Murad!!! It has really made my day to see all of your wonderful comments.
Slavo, your comments really are appreciated! Glad to be put in the same league as Jos, that is lofty company!
Günther, next up is a very large US Navy helicopter. 🙂
Awesome Jos, I can't wait to see you take on this subject as well!
Murad, I am pretty sure I saw the same Hornet Ball video. Those are some awesome videos!

Michael PhillipsI am looking forward to it too Günther, I have cleared cleaned, and reset my work area. Will start tonight!
Thanks Neuling and Spanjaard, I appreciate the compliments. I am pleased with the final result!
Neuling, I finally bough some seamless photo paper for this shoot, and it makes a big difference on the look of the final pics, more than I expected, or I would have done this sooner!

Michael PhillipsThanks Daniel, I appreciate the kind words. That is what I love best about Flankers, mean and elegant at the same time. Love them ALMOST as much as Tomcats. Almost. LOL

Michael PhillipsThanks Tobi, I appreciate the kind words! That is exactly the look I was going for, overall clean with a little bit of a worn look to it. 🙂
