Head in the clouds. Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I have surpassed myself this time, rolling into this build when one of the kits has been finished and presented in all it's glory, berate me as required Bill. Having had a good catch up with the thread it is fair to say you have had some fun. As I am now fully tuned in you have my undivided attention, I have the Merlin kit in the stash so this thread may well be my Merlin Bible. Superb CH53 by the way, she seems to have almost fallen together. Onwards and upwards.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Ced, I was very glad I wore my Regatta overtrousers on the way up to Halifax, little Lara was built out of recycled sieves And they forgot to fill the holes when they fitted the scuttle All dried up for the drive home which was nice, I enjoyed returning to the M6/M62 area for the first time in a long while My old trucking days came back to me, should have had a few Abba tapes to replay the good old days of the eighties huh I took the CH-53D to club for its ritual ignoring, which didnt hurt as much as usual because Tomo won the day It's good to keep it all in the family huh Anyway as I treated the Ch-53D as a quick less detailed build and stash reduce I thought I would pop this out too Shouldn't take a fortnight to get this one done 🤯 Looks like a pleasant little chopper, let's see... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Okayy, first things first The Merlin, grey thing we started with a while back has not been forgotten A lot! but real progress is awaiting a paint job Which has been awaiting me getting some Tamiya Smoke inside the upper glazing and which is now done Satisfactorily me thinkses I have also added the internal shade rails sans shades Checking all my references shows the shades as being invisible under service unless the crew actually pull them forward None of my photos show the shade working and all show a cluttered rear cockpit ceiling so I have made the decision, shades out of sight but the rails they run on being left in situ For the look of it Also adding to the cluttery are a pair of wiggly wires one to each side depending from the rear of the roof console The console on my model is courtesy of Richard who sent me his assortment of improver bits, might be eduard bits very welcome I can get this in place now and begin masking And then begin experimenting with assorted nautical looking greys and grays fun fun fun, some of them have to appear almost blue Whilst still being grey! In t'interim I have been giving my self a nodding acquaintance with the Kiowa Interesting interim... Made a small start, right really, it is a small kit Photos show grey interior not cockpit black as Matchbox suggest (Matchbox suggestions and their rectitude will loom larger than the Kiowa during this debate) As I found when I managed to cobble the rotor head and blades together the mouldings didnt put flatness as any priority when getting done And didn't seem to care what colour the rotor blades and tail rotor ought to be 'scuse the blur, dinner wont be far away this evening I can find nothing on the instructions that give me colours for the main rotor blades nor the tail rotor All I find is a suggestion that the rotor head alone should be light grey However research shows this lovely image of a Kiowa has very dark grey as the main colour I intend doing it this way, looks good enough to me huh -I need to see what to do about the instruments The kit decal is bigger than the moulded panel... And a different shape Right its Steak Night at 'spoons and I need to get ready ciao 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendie Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 nice wiggliness on the wiring Bill. I envy your ability to keep the mojo burning and even pull potential builds from the stash. I'm sorely tempted to put the Fly to one side and start on a diversionary build. The other half of me just wants it out of the way and far far behind me cos I know if I put it aside, I'll never pick it up again 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
