IS-7 Step by Step
Added 2021-07-06 19:57:30 +0000 UTCMy friends, it's time for another one from a few years ago, this time from 2016! Trumpeter's IS-7 in 1/35th scale with Voyager photoetch and scratchbuilt side bins from brass sheets - these look like PE, but it's hard scratch work 😁 Back then I didn't know about the benefits of copper which is softer, easier to work with and looks prettier - and most importantly, people won't mistake your hard work for some pre-made photo etched set 😁
This model is a strong departure from the pigment-heavy techniques we've seen in previous posts, at this point I already had Adam's fantastic books and it was probably the first model I've done in a really "systematic" way.

Cool but I was thinking of the brass shells on the back lol but great info on the un- exploded one 😜
