Italeri 1/48 Bell OH-58D Kiowa


Recommended Posts

Hi,here's the latest build. Had some difficulty with the canopy to nose section which I think can be quite typical of Italeri helicopter kits! Added a little scratch building in the cockpit - the kit cries out for some etched brass and resin updates. Painted in a mix of Tamiya greens, weathered with some pigments, a little paint chipping and some random gloss black spots on top to represent oil drips. Anyway it was a challenging but enjoyable (in the end) build of something that's not often built from what I can see.

Cheers

Looks good to me. My own effort went to the shelf of doom before hitting the bottom of the bin! Hats off to you for not only for making it look good but, more improtantly, actually having the mojo to finish it in the first place
