COMPLETED: Hasegawas Vanship & Hangar Scene [1/72 scale]

[tigrazor]

Hi Folks...

At the Moment at my desk and almost completed is the Vanship from Hasegawa. Long Story short:The Vanship got some extra parts like photoetched haircross, a unique color from DupliColor [car paint], that has very cool effects from violet to blue and gren, furthermore Revell and CMK pilots have been used for the scenery, additionally a scratched Hangar pole etc...

Enjoy the Pictures - ist not completed yet, so there will be some mor in the next time  If you have some questions - feel free to ask!

Some more details... The so called "Claudia Unit":



>>primed black and then graphite dust followed for the metal effects


The base was created by a wooden board, black paint, Tamiya tape, some Luftwaffe crosses [two arrows] and loads of scratched stuff plus CMK/Revell figures - in some cases I changed their heads to fit the Scene. Perfect bargain btw those LKuftwaffe pilots - theyre perfect for subjects like these!

Thats a neat Color, is it?!




rarrrrwww.... SEXY!!!

And now... the pilots. Although theyre not completely "original-Anime-series-lookalike", they look pretty cool imho. And thats what Counts. Thats the reason btw why I didnt want to build Tatianas ship - the main character of the animated "Last Exile" series. Everyone builds that one. Naaaah.....









Yes, the Revell set contains two 1/72 scale doggies. Na-haice.





Mmmh... Pretty small those guys!







Some Scratching had to be done as always Here ist an outnumbered FineMolds X-Wing Display stand (a part of it), bits from a Panther cannon, a Hasegawa/Revell 1/48 Hurricane Lever and plastic Profile from Evergreen plus Color of course.









Quite expensive [8,80 € each pack!], but veeeeery high Quality: WAAF ladies and Japanese pilots of WW2 - fit perfect here...







...the whole bunch of pilkots - ready for some Action!




DickyF: The model is based on the animated series "Last Exile: Fam & The Silver Wing" - the box contains also a Vespa. Hope some more kits will follow [hopefully the Zeppelins!!!]



Cheers and thanks for watching!

Very nice and the color does look great on!

[tigrazor]

Thanks mate... Still working on it. Decals are on, time for some Detail work now.

[tigrazor]

Oh what a fun Project that was... But like everything else, things have to come to an end. After some issues with Mr. Mark Softer vs. the Hasegawa decals - nothing terrible, but I had some minutes of fear! - all went well.

Wheel stabilizers got some golden/titanium Color on to contrast the blue, then the Installation of the clear parts [wind shields, front lights] followed - glued with thinned White glue. And here it is - the final result...

Thanks @ all for watching, following and your nice comments btw.

I think Ill throw my hat in the ring of fi.... ehm MoM I mean with that dio.

Just love the design of Last Exile planes.
Nice to see a build of this one.
Perhaps adding a subtle wash to the light crates?
They look a little bit "off" now comparing to the other ones and the figures.

Sweet little vignette anyway.
