perdu Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Tamiya German Grey, not black, with a dusting of mediumish grey Not black.... Si this IS the mighty Wokka to a tee, even minor additions like the armour can't spoil the Carlsberg of heavy lift helicopter models You do have that inner motor mount picture to set the length of the fairing, no worries there when its trimmed level Oh did I mention?

I always put the models down in the summer months and pick em up when the clocks go back, which is the end of this month. I should be back on it in September.

F4u Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hi Si, Just had a catch up with your build and it certainly looks good particularly like how you done the engine filters I could do with some for my 1/48 Woka is there any one out there doing them?

Guy I think that lad at shapeways is knocking them out but when I looked at the 1/35 ones they were pretty US to be honest. after a brief interlude I’ve started modelling again. I’m just banging out a Douglas dauntless in a group build with some of the lads on ARRSE, and I plan to finish this thing after that. Honest..... it’s still sat there looking at me every day in the living room. Waiting😳 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I had to find something to kick start me after two years off. Just on with weathering it, so hopefully it will be done soon. The plan however is to nick the rotors from this having had the mrs' lad snap one off the build and knack it. I'm hoping to make a resin copy so I can keep this kit (the MERT) intact. Reckon I'll be back on it in about 3 weeks lads. Edited September 17, 2018 by simmerit 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmerit Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) so it's not gone away - its still on the mrs' piano.... Where I'm at with it is I have a 1/32nd Trumpeter Avenger to finish and a Mk 1 female Takom tank then I'm back on it. Now if anyone remembers this thread, I gave Hataka a major caning as their paint was shyyte. I had a very nice pm from a polish bloke from Hataka who told me they had recalled their paint and anyone who'd bought it could return it to the manufacturer and they would replace it with the new mix. I think the number of hits on this thread was concerning them re adverse publicity. So...... I've just sprayed the bombs on the Avenger with Hataka Olive Drab, which I bought for the Wokka as the mix is spot on for the Wokka, and avoid. It's still shyyte. I was right the first time.
