infofrog Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Looks great Rick.. Question did you use the eduard pe cockpit or the cobra resin? I am doing some research for my future build and i am in the progress of getting raised rivets from master club (these are single rivets you have to pre drill) as i now intend to make it full raised rivets as is the real thing. So now figuring out what size and type to get and the big question is how many do i need! ( and yes this will be huge nr ) If i am going to do this i think only the rivets will take me a year to do Regards Andries Yes to the Photo etch and Cobra detail kit . If I had to do it again .I would not got the Cobra kit /Not bad talking them . Its a super detail kit . I don't Think it be seen when its finished . I would just used Photo etch Big Ed detail for the CH-53 http://www.cobracompany.com/48051.htm http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/edubig4875.htm Thanks Simon Rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
