Rick's CH-53E Super Stallion 1/48 scale


Recommended Posts

Nice work Rick on what looks like a pretty tricky set up. It looks like you have it in hand but my thinking there would be to use some black Milliput to fill the gaps around the canopy. Good luck with it anyway.

I'm off to a new scratch build part . I never done anything like this before . I see Nigel and Hendie do some amazing builds .

So Im going build a basic engine from 0 .. I know this wont be 100 percent correct . But I just want to get out of the box look .

I will start this later today . I have some other things to do .

Enjoy

Rick

That's great Rick, you are very skilled so I'm sure you won't have any trouble with a spot of scratch building. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress. Christmas card dispatched and on its way BTW.

Cheers,

Nigel

Thanks all

I started the prep work on the engine cover and door .

Here is the engine cover 2 parts . With no engine . I mock this part up . Cut the door out , then I had to glue the 2 cut parts together. This made the door .

I added rib supports to the inside door panel

Enjoy

I have been watching this in the background and I must say it is a very impressive build, also following along on all the scratchbuilding, very informative :winkgrin:

Ok I have applied some White Mulliput . i need to make this brass looking color dome . I guess this would be some kind on inlet air intake .

Maybe someone will let me know

Enjoy
