PTE 1/18 Type 98 and 1/32 F-22 Raptor

Post by B-29 » Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:51 pm

Here are some pics of some projects I finished up over the summer. First is an 1/32 PTE F-22 Raptor. I rebuilt the front landing gear to be more accurate, added a 1/32 scale cockpit, hallowed out the air intakes, and added the missile bays with folding doors. Also gave it a badly needed paint job, Decals by Jackson.

Type 98 Chinese Tank. Repainted the PTE tank to represent a weather beaten Type 98, based off of the ones in Battlefield 2. This is my first attempt at weathering a tank so let me know what you think:

Those came out nice :D Amazing what can be done with the PTE items when one puts their mind to them - one reason why I like them :wink: I like the way you did the missile bay on the F-22 and the cammo and weathering on the tank look great (night and day from its stock appearance). Though I have to ask, is that a WWII pilot in the F-22?

Thanks! And yes, that is a WWII pilot in the F-22. It is the only 1/32 figure I have, so it will have to do.

They both look great, but I am really digging that tank. Did you get the decals from Jackson for that one as well?

Actually those were just printed on testors decal paper. The only decals you can't print on the testors sheets is the light, near white colors.

I just googled around for "china military star" and found it. Then I just scaled it in PowerPoint and printed it out.
