modelling minion Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 That really is excellent work Steve. The Swedes really went to town on the splinter camo didn't they and camouflaged things that move as well as things that don't, wouldn't be at all surprised if they had splinter camo on their toilet rolls too! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Evening folk's,after a week away from this one I was ready to tackle the area I was dreading, it's been a frustrating to say the least but I had to remind myself this was never going to match the newer more refined kit's available of which many of you are building and it is what it is as far as the glazing is concerned,that aside it's getting there need's more work to do for the final fixing in place,just pushed on for a photo. Those wheel's are poor too need tidying up now I see the photo! Edited March 13, 2019 by stevej60 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Just seen your wonderful HKP-4 in the gallery Steve, very well done mate. Told you my money was safe on you being first in there! Nice droop you got on the rotors, did the Airfix ones come like that or did you need to modify them? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Many thank's Craig,just shaped them by hand as they were perfectly straight and would'nt have looked riight.might be back with a more modern offering before the GB's end I'll see what's out there at a good price and scheme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
