busnproplinerfan Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) This is now done, but I will show the last bits I had to do, then post the finished link. I used corelpaint to trim the backrounds from the photos I found of the Huey, so they are a bit distorted. I was able to fill in the missing edges with paint and a second set of door decals printed in reverse. The paper separate pieces fitted together for sizing and testfitting. Always test print on plain paper so you don't waste decal paper. I was luck and had just enough white sheets, no one in town had any in stock and I wanted this done for the contest in a couple of days. Here's all the printed sheets. Now to cut them up so I can fit them into a bowl. I changed a few things to make it more personalized. I also couldn't get the exact pictures I needed but it has the same effect. I changed the tail murals, roof and made proper stars on the blue. One advantage of the fuselage camo being printed, you get all the surface details. Seven hours later, up almost all night, it's wrapped. The print on the decals did come off in spots from being moved around and scratched. I was able to touch it up with paint. It's all done now. Here's the link to the finished model. I had about three hours sleep before heading to the contest. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235054656-light-horse-legacys-take-me-home-huey/ Edited September 6, 2019 by busnproplinerfan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foresterab Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I've seen some pretty crazy Bell - 205 paint jobs but this takes the cake. Nice job and you've got the details down right. Cheers, foresterab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foresterab Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 no worries man, Was watching a -205 carrying crews around today and thinking how much better it was then walking. But then it would mean trying to keep up with a bunch of super active 18-22 year olds who like running and decided my role was better. Grey with maroon trim design. Sharp but nothing like your ship. foresterab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have four 1/72 D/H models and so far have two schemes picked out so far. Edited May 14, 2019 by busnproplinerfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Somehow this passed me by originally, my loss! Superb build and conversion, and the 'paint' job is fantastic. Definitely with @Anthony in NZ on this...the coolest build on the net! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Wow what a build, this is absolutely fantastic the work to convert and extend is phenomenal, congratulations on a stunning model and sorry for missing this too. I would love one to do as an RAAF B with the white roof section , but the stash size and room left is prohibitive. I have rally enjoyed looking at your model though.

Chris It's to bad there was never a conversion for this kit or a whole new one, the D and on version is very common and popular. These are a large model but being a two bladed helo, it can at least be parked along a wall. 6 hours ago, Alan P said: Somehow this passed me by originally, my loss!
