Amazing repaints affraid

The fox is actually a wonderful model , which I didn't really notice with the original paintwork Very Happy

For me it is rather chocking to see the old Starlux being repainted, - but I must admit that the results stunning Applause Applause

Foxes come in many colors, the original Starlux is not completely unplausible but it is far from the standard colors we see in a red fox. Obviously your model is much more faithful to the traditional colours of the species and as Susanne pointed, it makes the original mould looks much better. OK, your great work is not comparable but your picture reminds me this one from my collection. Very Happy

Thank you Susanne and Rogério and don't worry, I have foxes in original pattern. This one was sent to me by my friend Lionel with 11 other animals to be repaint! :)

Rogério, my friends from Soldat Plastique think your mysterious yellow fox is not from Starlux but a copy from souvenirs gifts sellers..

..an other try with the willing of keeping as possible the original colours but also making it more accurate:

..the result is a rather dark version. In french language, we call this darker kind of common fox, "renard charbonnier" (coal fox?)

It is beautyful too Very Happy
Again I am very impressed by the small details you make Applause
A great detail is the dark lower legs.
The only thing is that perhaps the white is too white ? But perhaps it is the blue background that does it ;

We call the dark colour "sodrød" ( sooty red)

Nice repaints, clearly based on the nominate subspecies V. v. vulpes.
Red foxes are amazing animals, I don't know if anyone is aware of how much I like these animals. Laughing
Espite the unadjusted light, it is evident that the white markings are absent or vestigial in Iberian foxes. Yes, Portuguese people as the idea of what is a fox contamined by these rusty foxes that exist in our territory.  They almost look like a different species.

On the other hand, the traditional red and white fox is part of the pop culture of many other nations like Germany, Russia, England and even USA!

Here a North American fox with conspicuous yelowish white markings on ventral area and obviously the tip of the tai, something that not happens on Iberian subspecies.

By the way, thanks Alain for providing these informations about my souvenir fox! Very Happy
