Category Sci-High Models – Alex Dumas

Here is a beautiful build from an artist that has shown his fantastic works in the past…. John Beaulieu!

I am pleased to present to you my latest build for the Sarah Scott Collection!

She asked me how long it would take to bang out Sci-High’s 1/72 Viper MK II, I told her about a week…then we started to discuss the possibility of lighting the engines! What started out as a simple addition of engine lights ended with me getting carried away and I added wingtip marker lights, a fully lit instrument panel and even “firing” guns!

I had to make a custom base built up from a small project box as the number of LEDs in the plane (8 total!) requires two 9V batteries to be able to run for any appreciable length of time...

I can never get enough of this artist’s work! These Swifts are beautiful! Artist E. James Small always impresses with his fantastic techniques and finish to the pieces he creates! Beautiful!

Here is what James has to say…

I recently built seven “Swift” kits for customers around the world. I did them all at once, assembly line style, to maintain consistency. They are pretty much identical. Pictures show one of them up close.

I can’t say enough about the extreme high quality of these kits by Alex Dumas of Sci-High models (engine bells all individually machined by Mike Reader)which rival or supersede the quality of the best injection kits...
