Hi.
This is my latest build Italeri 1/72nd Boeing X-32 JSF with Royal Malaysian Air
Force insignia. The first time when I saw this Boeing JSF in a documentary, in
my mind I wondered if Boeing was kidding us or in a hurry on the JSF competiton, it’s
weird and too sci-fi looking and ugly. A few years later, I started to
looking back and try to do something that can ‘make-up’ this fat looking
plane into
something cute. So I decide to give it just a small change, try to paint it in
something else that can cover up its looks. After a few imagination, I decide
to do a ‘what if look like’ in existing RMAF squadron Mig-29 livery scheme.
Well.. from the side view it looks like an egg plane of the RMAF Mig-29 but not
too close, at least it’s turn cute for me. The Cobra art really look match
with the jet intake, an open mouth.

About
the build, it is simple, a fast build. Not much filler is needed.
This is
my first time trying the preshade technique, a good practice before I can master it
on other model kits. After sealed it with semi-gloss, I add weathering to add
juice to the preshading to make it look dirty and busy.
This
kit is a present to my country, as 31st August is Malaysian Independence Day..
Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!
