parip Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi, Progress has been made. Since last update, I have gloss coated model and applied most of the decals, they performed very well, however they are not representing real air frame. If you want to build real thing - buy aftermarket decals. Landing gear has been installed as well; wings with weapons finished (but not glued) Few things left to do, with mayor one being reattaching nose antenna. If anyone has any advise how to do it, please let me know... Cheers!!! Rade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parip Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi Here is another quick update, to summarize whats have been done since last update. - All decals applied and after unsuccessful attempt in panel washing flat coated, - Handles have been added along the way, some of them several times (three remaining - one on the canopy and two on engine intakes) - Red antennae in front of canopy and two on the rear fuselage added, - Canopy unmasked, - Front antenna painted in cream tone and with help of spare decals two black stripes applied. Here is photo showing remaining parts (minus rotors). Not much left to do really - glue everything together and call it done... Cheers!!!

parip Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Wings, canon & handles attached. Gluing setup for front antenna is shown on photo - gunze bottle opener + plastic card shimmed with toothpick in order to hopefully get it right (sorry for the LED blue effect). Remaining parts are engine exhausts and rotors... Cheers!!! Rade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parip Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Quick update Antenna is finally there, unfortunately it is not horizontal - if I accidentally knock it over I know how to fix it... Engine exhausts have been drybrushed with aluminium and glued One overall view I have managed to lost one of the handles which I installed on the intakes during handling of the model. SAR mission is ongoing Cheers!!! Rade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parip Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi I was lucky enough to find missing part and glue it back here is photo with rotors installed (will not be glued) and overall blurry one which concludes this GB for me Proper (it is subjective) photos for gallery I will have to make in daylight, hopefully tomorrow. Cheers!!! Rade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
