Excellent catch up. Some lovely work going on. The camo looks great. Probs would have done it the other way around too.

Thanks Johnny, I’m really glad that you like it! 🤝 It’s a good experience and a good way for me to learn some new stuff.

Hello guys,

 

an underside surfaces painted with a blue color and it’s looks great, in my opinion:

The closer look at the nose section:

Thanks for looking! 🤝

Hello, friends! 👋

Some progress here...

 

Wings attached, along with the wheels. I feel rushed and unmasked the canopies, some additional decals are applied, too:

There are some details waiting for the painting, and some to attach. The underside looks very good, I hope you’re like it:

Now it’s time for the main rotor (already assembled, not painted yet).

 

Thanks for looking! ☺️

Great work, the 'amoeba' camo looks spot on.

Hello, Britmodellers! 👋

 

I sprayed the main rotor blades, resprayed the tail rotor blades and done some final subassemblies:

The pylons was painted and decaled (finally):

The Zvezda’s decals aren’t so good on this kit’s edition and has a yellow-ish film. Also, I painted the crew doors and applied the clear coat on the tail.

 

I’m glad that I close to finish her soon!

 

Thanks for looking! 😎

Hello guys,

Also I placed the rest of the decals and glued an «Ataka» ATGM systems:

The top view is very busy now:

That’s how the Crocodile looks at the moment:

Ah, Vigilante... Meanwhile, I painted the Vigilante IPs yesterday, so it’s time to close the fuselage halves soon! Anyway, the Vigilante is an additional build and I need something for the primary.

So, the lights are painted and glued along with the other small things.

 

The clear coat are dried and I can call her finished:
