3D Conversion
The initial phase was to create a 3D model of the design, using the original sketches.
Additionally, a display stand was requested, so the model could be displayed. These items were scaled down and 3D printed. Finally, two art pieces were requested, in the form of photorealistic images.

3D Prints
Custom 1:48 scale model
Customer requested a "What If" paint scheme, scale model.
The model was printed in sections with separate flaps, slats, landing gear and spoilers. The items were glued together and prepped for paint.
The paint scheme was based on a FGR.10 Hawker Hunter from 4 Squadron, RAF Gutersloh, Germany, 1969. The decals were purchased separately and sealed under a gloss topcoat.
This model represents a one-of-a-kind, fully custom scale product.
Display Stand Model
Additionally, a display stand mounted model with engraved plaque was built for the customer.
A metallic appearance was achieved with serval layers of silver paint and a gloss topcoat.
