I dress this scooter up with a Big Ed pack from Eduard. The pilot figure is from Reedoak. I used Vallejo environmental rust texture to simulate the nonslip surface on the wing walkways, and top of the boarding ladder. The vortex generators that come molded on the wings are horrible. After cutting them off and sending everything smooth, I apply the photo edge vortex generators from Eduard.
This was the first model that I used mission model paints on. Once I got the mix ratio down, it was smooth sailing from then on out. It sprays great through the airbrush.. thanks for having a look.

B E A utiful. That is a great looking museum quality model! Great subject as well - who doesn’t love a scooter?!
Outstanding work! Everything just goes so well together, the jet,base,& the figure. I agree with keavdog, Who doesn’t love the Scooter?"
Excellent looking build!
That’s a great job. One of my top 2-3 jets ever. Beautiful little plane. I also love the work you did on the pilot.
Love the build and very intrigued about the base.
Thanks. The base is three-quarter inch plywood covered with 120 grit sandpaper. Primed.and painted with Tamiya paints. Decorative edge purchased at Lowe’s. The plate was made by my local trophy shop here, the Awards Center.

Nice job!!! Love the great detail! I think the marine is placed perfectly!
Looks great 
Base is top notch!
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of or seen somebody using sandpaper for a tarmac base before. I’d be really curious to hear further details on why you choose to use that and how you built/painted that base. I need to make a tarmac base for a future aircraft project. So any further details you can give for building and painting yours would be most appreciated.
Here’s the process that I use. If you have any additional questions, feel free to message me.
