A new breakthrough in Museum Scale appearance.

Dear all.
My team and I have been working hard in the background to refine our new method in replicating scale appearance.
We combine paneling with a new material together with 3D surface forming to achieve a result that has never been done before.

Meet the next projects we are developing for some USA customers...

Let us and our customers know if you like this.

Looks like it could be a F4D Skyray in the last picture?

Nice work Oli! the detail looks great! the earliest attempts at this detail looked a little 'aggressive' to say the least (fibre classics F-86 comes to mind).

Yes. We paid a very special attention to this point.
Our panelling effect is market but not rough. It is very close to what an aircraft at the middle of its potential looks like.
What makes a real difference is the skin wrinkles.
They are subtle but definitely visible in tangential light or when caressing the surface. Just like the real thing...

When the fibre classics F-86 and Mig 29 were done the paint systems were thicker, the detail was to allow primer and finish.
There are lots of paint options now that are really thin.
