F-22 Raptor help

benhpark · 01-22-2008, 03:48 AM

Hi, Ben Park here
Long time no see^^
My Mamecraft, again, went to trash. Don't ask me why (

I finally got the F-22. Scale 1:50 by PModel

I've put my F-22 temporarily on my De Havilland DH-2.

Great details, but I've done a lot of mistakes... well it's my first test build anyway

I'm thinking about covering the whole model (except few parts) with silver spratpaint. Then, I'm gonna use some markers. Well I'm lucky enough to get special markers here @ Korea... They cost $2 each, and they are very expensive, but the high cost pays off. They come in an incredible 120 colors.

Can anybody tell me where I could get these thin vinyl stickers that are usually used in plastic models? I want it also to be completely clean, with nothing printed on it. Thanks

Oops, HUGE PICTURES.
I wonder why that happened

NULLMOON · 01-22-2008, 05:13 AM

the plane in qestion is light grey in life not silver unless you just happen to fancy it silver then go for it

i didnt relise that p-models raptor had a cockpit im not a fan of us planes but this is already looking promising

ps large sized files tend to come out big i always take photos for this forum in the cameras lowest setting to reduce size

benhpark · 01-22-2008, 05:32 AM

Thank you, NULLMOON.
To be honest, it was crappy work done. That's why I was planning to do spraypainting to cover up my mistakes

--Anyway, where can I get these thin, "blank" decals?

benhpark · 01-22-2008, 06:04 AM

OK. more stuff here for tonite!

NULLMOON · 01-22-2008, 02:33 PM

blank decals? try looking throgh some of the specilist printer papers there are varios transfer papers that you can print decals on then tranfer them via heat/pressure etc depending on the type,
outside of card modeling you will be hard pressed to find an f-22 this big to use comercial decal sets

Transfer papers for artists - Lazertran is this what your after?

nothing · 01-22-2008, 10:22 PM

this is great! where did you get the F-22 from? I havnt seen it listed anywhere.

I've said it before. (Or did I?

) F-22 PModel. But the model is *not* free though.

Costs 550 yen or something. About $4.

i read it was a p model but was whanting the site so i could BUY one. I bought one last night.after being announced that paper international had closed their doors, did not know who sold pmodel kits. im sorry for my ignorance on who sells what where. i am new to the comercial kit scene. i should have known a simple question would engender a smart ass response.

and i dont understand why everyone assumes when a question is asked that they are automatically looking for a freebee.

**Lex** · 01-23-2008, 08:46 AM

Um... Because we do generally ask for freebies... Surely nobody would ask where to find a Halinski model...

Well I wasn't asking

for any apologies though. Guess it's my mistake to misunderstand "where could I get the model" to "what manufacturer."

It's PModel, and the website is --> ƒy[ƒp[ƒNƒ‰ƒtƒg PModel Ž†–ÍŒ^ If you enjoy the model, then look for others. It offers great details, but some models *do not have cockpits.*

Get babelfish(gives you nonsense and broken English) or something, cause Japanese can be

annoying with all these squiggly letters bothering you.

By the way, more progress for tonite! I feel eerie, cause I only glued two pieces, and it seems (at least, to me) that I have done a considerable progress... why could it be...? Is it cause of the size of the parts?

Well

messed up some parts ( orz ) but gonna spraypaint it anyway ^^

The fit was absolutely perfect so far.
If anyone has specific questions (fit, accuracy, details, errors), then feel free to ask ^^

benhpark · 01-23-2008, 10:20 AM

Just a quick find here, since you have purchased the model.

The control panel of the cockpit and HUD(heads-up display) are inaccurate. Right after I'm done with the next step, few changes on the cockpit will be shown here.

Thanks for reading

if i cant find a particular Halinski kit i would use this forum to ask where to find one.

nothing · 01-23-2008, 02:13 PM

hey benhpark, was looking over the parts and dont know if its a big deal to you or not but the sidewinders are blue.usually thats indicitive of practice munitions.

NULLMOON · 01-23-2008, 11:03 PM

i wonder if the draken or the mirage 2000 have cockpits? ..theres a nice starfighter there too one of the few U.S planes i like and it has a cockpit
