Raiders flying wing 1/72nd - LeeS - 08-19-2012

Finally finished this nice little piece today, having brought a good 3 years back. Raiders Flying Wing, called the BV 38 by the kit maker Black Sun.

Appears to be fairly accurate to what's on screen and makes an interesting piece. Can't remember the last time I built an aircraft kit :-)

VERY clean and easy to built kit (castings by BLAP I believe). One major problem was my not prepping the resin enough and the paint coming off during masking.

That is one funky looking design!

And a really nice job with it as well! Your subtle weathering looks killer once again on what is a relatively clean bird. Sure looks pretty bloody good to my eye.

Just for some fun, how bout some ketchup and one diced up figure? lol


Fantastic work there, Lee!!

Well you definitely recovered from that paint mishap. It looks awesome!
Did the figures come with the kit? It's cool seeing Belloq there.

The figures are from a Peiser Luft set. I didn't want to make/search for Indy etc figures, so I went for an 'arrival in Egypt' setting. 'Medic!' would be good too, but then I'd have to blow it up.
