snapper_city Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi guys This is my Italeri 1/48 Bell 47 that I finished earlier in the year and build oob just for a laugh. Painted using Humbrol rattle can and enamels Decals are from kit and spares box. She was going to be all over OD green but decided on this at the last minute after seeing something like it on the net. Enjoy.

troschi Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 nice to see a bright sample rather than a toned down olive one. Two minor things for the next Bell 47 build: The maiin rotor shaft is supposed to be guled in a 90° turned position so that the upper outer and short control rods meet the stabilizer bar the strut between the fuel tanks is supposed to be placed underneath the tailrotor shaft. But this doesn't take away anything from this nice and bright build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper_city Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys. This was a nice simple build to keep the juices flowing as can be seen by a couple of accuracy issues but never mind. Was never meant to be a stella build but defiantly one I would do again.
