  1. Tail rotor painted along with the main rotor head, the decals from the kit are excellent and work really well but I know I will have to paint the edges so might as well paint! 
    Main rotor in real life looks hugely complicated, lots of wires and pipes, so not going to try embellishing it but will try to add a bit of interest by detail painting.

    Getting there, main body needs a gloss varnish and the some weathering, albeit subtle, then a fair bit of details to add.

  2. Bit of an update, main rotor blades are painted and need decals, sponsons are being detailed and wheels have been painted ( thank god for masks )

    going to paint the tail rotor as although I’m very impressed with Airfix decals I think paint is the way to go!

    Hi. Just had a look in the Walkround section at the HU Mk5 Commando, fifth (?) image down shows a blade with the tip sock on and a metal LE to  the blade.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Colin,

    I had a look in the walk round, nothing 100% conclusive so I think I won’t be to anal about it and if the mood takes me I’ll paint it anyway it will add interest if nothing else.

    The instructions don't ask for a different colour to the LE, so I assume it's one colour.

    Yes, instructions state one colour , but I’ve used Xtradecal markings and they show gunmetal leading edge, I’m confused 🫤
