Harry Callahan Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Hi guys Here i want share to you my MRC Gallery Sikorsky HH-34 G of the german Navy in the 60th. I used also the great EDUARD photo etch parts which are much more better than the PE parts of the kit. I have liked this version from first sight because of the dayglow paint which is a nice contrast to the silver body of the helicopter. I paint it with Vallejo aluminium and the panel lines i airbrush it with Tamiya X-19 smoke to get a worn effect. For the pictures i drove together with my wife more than one hour through the country side to find a fitting location and my wish was to get a special lights, so we had waited till 3.30pm in winter 2017 when the sun setting already Cheers Werner Edited February 7, 2019 by Harry Callahan 59 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 1/144 scale? That has got to be the 1/48 scale version?? Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrritableRabbit Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Anybody... who can make a 1/144th scale helicopter kit look like that, should be on my hit list for being too good at this modelling malarkey. But I'm not a socio-path or similar, so I'll just sit here in wonder and compliment you on an absolutely amazing and fantastic job you've done there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're just running scared and it really is 1/144th scale. 🤣 Still a great job though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) It is not fair if you take a picture of a life size helicopter and describe it as a model. Seriously, this is just an awesome build! Love the rotor head, the screens around the cockpit and those little wires you've got here and there for realism. Every time I re-look at this I see something else that just amazes me. And nice photography too - Great job all around!

Wlad Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Very nice helicopter Werner. I like the way you achieved the faded look on the dayglo orange. Well done. Wlad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hello Harry, An excellent replica from this former German Navy Air Arm (Marineflieger) workhorse. They do not make them like that anymore. Regards, Orion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
