batcode Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) heres my latest completion the Italeri 1:48 OH-58 and I have to say really happy how this one has turned out, as so many times ive messed with trying to get the weathering to look realistic and no matter how hard tried still couldn't get a natural look but i think and hoping nailed it on this one.....the kit itself went togther ok other than the front nose and main canopy.., also found despite putting a coat of klear down you can still see the decal carrier film so not great , next time think invest in some a/m ones as do want to another one but a different scheme..i really enjoyed the build and the whole weathering was fun and case of trial and error.. oh the door was left off on purpose as most had them removed in theatre, but saw a pic where only one was one the airframe...

russ c Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Really nice work on that Rob, the weathering looks great too. Looks a lot meaner than the Vietnam bird I did a bit back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
