56th Rescue Squadron - 'Special Mission Aviators'

Post by Knife 04 » Sat Dec 01, 2018 7:19 pm

Something a little different. Following on from a couple of photos sent over by Dan Foster, thought I would have a go at a 'Kit Bash' (I believe they call it) of a couple of crew (Pilot & Gunner) from the 56th Rescue Squadron to display with my collection of patches.

Initially I found it a little difficult as never done anything like this before and no instructions. Taken a while with other things going on and getting some other bits over from the US but think I am there now mounted on the base. Enjoyed it and although there are some small inaccuracies pleased with the results

Last one after a quick play in PS - a little extra work I am sure would make it look better

Yes, I thought that they were real folk for the first few frames. Amazing work.
