Stealth Thunder Fighter

[Rhaven Blaack]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

With help from Revell-fan (i.e. providing the colour pallet and the graphics for the markings), I have re-coloured the Thunder Fighter in a "STEALTH" paint scheme.
As you can see by the photos, I have added the cockpit interior and will be adding the landing gear.
I am also adding greebles as I go along. ( I know that I have made a few mistakes along the way)



Enjoy the photos.

For those of you who want to repaint your TF in the "STEALTH" paint scheme, this is the pic that Revell-fan and I used for such:

Just look under the category of "BUCK ROGERS". There you will find a few more paint schemes as well.

More updates coming soon.

I really like the color of this. Looks almost Army Air Force.

Very nice! I'm eager to see this finished.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement.

I think black is very becoming for this version. Now to give it a name on the left side, like "LAURA" and place it at the Galactica.

I too like this paint scheme. It does suit it quite well indeed.
I could see this plane (as well as any of the other TF variants) flying escort with a stealth Viper on a recon mission.

I like the idea of a TF and Viper display, maybe with a nice X-wing. kinda like a 70's kids version of the Paris air show.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

I do not have a X-Wing, but I do have a MK-II Viper and the TF's in both BSG paint schemes that I can show off together, as well as my entire TF collection (when I am finished with this one).

Here is an update of the Stealth TF.
I am sorry for the wispy ghost affect. i will attempt to take better photos next time.



ENJOY!!!

Next will be the Engine exhausts.

Slow down Rhaven, you are going to fast and forgetting to blacken the edges. Otherwise, it is looking great so far.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Thank you Silver. I see what you are talking about. I am going to attempt to redo the canopy and make it look a little better.

It's only the experienced modelers who can be told such things and not get offended. No reason to be either. I saw a rather fantastic ship model built, I won't say when and where, but recently, and this almost 2 year project was marred by the simple fact this person did not color in edges. Almost 2 years between design and finish. I spoke with the designer of that model, and what could he say, you can print out the edges?


A great model Rhaven!

Nice to see you posting Silveroxide. You, and the great repository of knowledge you carry around is always welcome and welcomed.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Thank you for the kind words Zathros.
I am glad that Silver pointed that out to me. I consider him more the just an expert. If he says something, I tend to listen and take what ever he says on-board and if that means that I should change something or do something differently ( or what ever else), then I will generally go ahead and do it.

It is because of people like you and Silveroxide, that keep me here and help me improve my skills in this wonderful hobby.
I greatly encourage and appreciate any and all advice and constructive criticism about my work.

It's been a long time since I have made a model of any quality that matters. You guys are ones keeping the hobby alive, and pushing it forward.

Well then my friend, it is time that you print out a Thunder Fighter and build one (or all of the variants for that matter:twisted.:whip1:
I (for one) would like to see what you can do.:yep::yep::yep:
Yes, I have just thrown down the gauntlet.:twisted:

A bada$$ looking fighter. I think this is my favorite version.
