Dads203 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 A couple more pictures of the detail work going on. FLIR Turret is base painted in NATO Black, some highlights added. Sponson out riggers have had the anti slip extended to leading edge. The second main landing gear leg just need the wheels added. The winch has had a repaint after the HGW damage, I've got the exhaust area and the two bubbles of sea grey around the hand and foot holds to mask and paint and then it's decal time.

coneheadff Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 This is gonna be a gem! Fantastic...especially considering it's in 1/72. It would be hard to scratch all the details in 48. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 On to the grey areas around the fuselage sides, I've seen some in black, some in grey and a right mixture, ZA166 looks sea grey to me Here's my take on this.

Dads203 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Cheers HL The other side, not quite as good as there are a lot of raised detail in this area but still tidy enough , nothing a brush can't sort out. Cheers for looking in Dan 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 So we are getting down to the details now, decals soon I've done the second main gear leg and its just push fitted in to the sponson at the moment, main rotor hub is masked up and sprayed up. One question for the experten on the SK, main rotor section ( the mechanic's ) looks to me like its a blue grey colour? Is that right ?

Dads203 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Cheers Andy , I spotted the issue with the grey patch on the side after the masks were cut so it will get sorted today. I take it that the tail rotor hub is the same blue grey as the main rotor hub as well ? Regards Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 And done The lower foot hold was the worrying one it had the potential to be Overspray Zentrum because of the detail but its come out good Decals next I fear And how the hell do I weather this up ... I don't build aircraft, Bit of mud and some chipping here and there ? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
