Tail rotor painted along with the main rotor head, the decals from the kit are excellent and work really well but I know I will have to paint the edges so might as well paint! Main rotor in real life looks hugely complicated, lots of wires and pipes, so not going to try embellishing it but will try to add a bit of interest by detail painting. Getting there, main body needs a gloss varnish and the some weathering, albeit subtle, then a fair bit of details to add.

As real as it gets, that is superb. Good job!

Great model and that’s a proper Dorset background, good job!

Just to say haven’t fallen asleep on this one, better weather equals more work so time is at a premium and I’m splitting bench time between this group build and a Seaking. Bit of progress, base painted and some PE added.

Cool build and the paint looks really good!

Bit of an update, main rotor blades are painted and need decals, sponsons are being detailed and wheels have been painted ( thank god for masks ) going to paint the tail rotor as although I’m very impressed with Airfix decals I think paint is the way to go!

Great paint job, super skills on show, good job!

I also like that a lot, tremendous work!!

Nice one Hans, great embellishments in the cockpit and turret, good job!

Stunning!

Thanks Colin, I had a look in the walk round, nothing 100% conclusive so I think I won’t be to anal about it and if the mood takes me I’ll paint it anyway it will add interest if nothing else.

Yes, instructions state one colour , but I’ve used Xtradecal markings and they show gunmetal leading edge, I’m confused 🫤

Wonderful model, so different, so nicely done, impressive stuff!

That is such a small model and I’m gobsmacked how well that’s turned out, but if you are modelling in N gauge as well this was a walk in the park!

Lovely painting, nice panel variation, good job!
