SOAR Nightstalkers AH-6J Little Bird


Recommended Posts

Hi all. I started Dragon's 1:35 AH-6J for the Helicopter 2 GB last June but subsequently never finished it. After two stints on the shelf of doom and nearly 18 months later the current KUTA GB inspired me to get it done. This was far from a user friendly build at times. Trying to squeeze everything into the fuselage was the biggest challenge with lots of dry fitting, sanding, dry fitting, sanding etc. Extras wise I used parts from Eduard's PE for OH-6, RB Models brass minigun barrels, Mike Grant cockpit dial decals and Werner's Wings - Night Stalkers Pt.1 decals. A massive thank you also goes to Damocles for providing the Cobra Company FLIR turret and AndyL for the multi function cockpit displays from a 1:32 F-18.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

Thats absolutely beautiful !! Going to read the WIP right now, the paint job is amazing and i want to see how you did it :) awesome job!

Hi Wolwe82.

Funny you should mention that. The paint was a custom mix of Vallejo acrylics Black, Light Grey and a touch of White. The oil work was Mig Abteilung Snow White, German Grey Highlight, Faded Grey, Industrial Earth and Shadow Brown. I was following Jamie Haggo's blog that I picked up from your Mosquito build in the Less than a Tenner group build. :thumbsup2:
