This monster Time Slip Creations 1/32 scale Buck Rogers Thunderfighter was finished as a “stealth” ship, according to Eric. He based the look on Ralph McQuarrie’s concept art and built the model to incorporate Stephen Burns’ 3D-printed cockpit. Eric primed with automotive lacquers, pre- and post-shaded, airbrushed acrylics for the main colors, and weathered with enamels. “I chipped it extensively with a fine brush and did streaking with thin gray enamel paint,” Eric said.
