✦ Falke / EXCIMER — Northern Continental Zone
Before GRIFFON. Before S-JKG standardisation. Before laser integration became factory policy.
The EXCIMER configuration existed in a narrow operational window — a field decision, not a production spec.
A standard Early Production Falke. Green-grey factory finish. 23mm Vulcan. Assigned to the 14th AT Regiment's anti-armor detachment. Informal. Pre-designation. Already doing the work.
For Operation Snow White, the airframe received a field-applied winter whitewash — an overlay, not a refinish. Green-grey bled through at wear points and intake edges. The Vulcan was replaced by a prototype EXCIMER laser. The radar bulge was gone.
Engagement doctrine changed immediately.
No strafing runs. No suppression bursts. Stabilize. Acquire. Pulse. Break low.
Ground crews called it "Quiet Evel." The pilot never responded. Helmet gloss black. No insignia. No tally marks. All engagements conducted manually — visual confirmation required.
29 confirmed winter sorties. Final engagement: destruction of a submerged sensor array during a blizzard whiteout. Radar contact lost during mountain egress.
No wreckage recovered.
This Workbench Edition documents the full studio build of that airframe.
This is not a gallery book. This is a bench document.

✦ Technique Module I — Winter Whitewash Technique Guide (Digital)
Winter whitewash is one of the most attempted and most misread finishes in scale modeling. This guide corrects that.
The process covered here is layered, asymmetrical, and narrative-driven — built around a single foundational decision: where in the whitewash life cycle does your vehicle sit? Pristine. Mid-cycle. Late cycle. Everything follows from that answer.
This guide works from a defined narrative state — a vehicle returned for field modification, whitewash partially refreshed over a worn base. Mid-cycle. Deliberate, not arbitrary.
Coverage includes:
- Base value selection and contrast logic
- Life cycle positioning and what it controls
- Flyer-specific application methodology
- Asymmetrical wear and selective reapplication
- Ground attack treatment on an airborne platform
The geometry changes per vehicle. The logic transfers.
✦ Technique Module II — Microchipping Technique Guide (Digital)
This guide covers one specific application of chipping — focused and deliberate, concentrated on defined focal points across a complex finish. Not broad distribution across a uniform surface. That is a different discipline and a different guide.
Knowing which one you need before you start is half the work.
On the EXCIMER, chipping was used as detail amplification, not damage simulation. The primary targets were the non-whitewashed sections — surfaces that needed to hold visual weight against a highly developed whitewash finish. Microchipping brought them to parity.
One section required a different rationale entirely. The replacement radar nacelle — the upgrade that defines the EXCIMER over the Early configuration — was chipped specifically to read as the same vehicle across both states. A quiet solution to a real modeling problem.
Coverage includes:
- Focal-point selection logic
- Lacquer abrasion as process foundation
- Additive chipping to deepen value rather than lift it
- Longitudinal scratch work
- Light flow direction across a complete finish
The methods are transferable. The logic must be developed per model.

⚙️ Why It Matters
This release is modular by design.
The Workbench Edition is the physical artefact. The Digital Edition is the permanent archive. The Technique Guides extract repeatable systems you deploy on future builds.
This is not just documentation of a model. It is extraction of method — for builders serious about surface logic, layer control, finish restraint, and narrative cohesion.
