milktrip Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hello, I would like to present my 1/72 Fujimi Boeing Vertol 107 in Columbia Helicopters livery. Finished a while ago for a group build, but I never took and submitted any completed photos. Thanks for looking Aaron 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Well done Aaron! She really does look fantastic and the cheat lines look so neat and tidy and your homemade blown side windows are fantastic. Hope you and the family are all well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 That looks lovely Aaron - refreshing after seeing so many 107s/H-46s in various camo schemes (though the Swedish one is gorgeous!). Very nice indeed. Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I do like this, you've maybe sowed a seed for what I could do with a spareish Vertol kit I have, I saw this one operating in New Zealand some years ago. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Great helicopter build and beautiful finish, except… …I don't understand these dark smudges over the panel joints. What is supposed to have caused them IRL? Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is supposed to have caused them IRL? Kind regards, Joachim Thanks Joachim, I find white quite a difficult colour to use without the finish looking too flat, if that makes sense? I pre-shaded to add some depth to the colour. It’s not to everyone’s taste, I get that. But I think the effect looks more excessive in these photos than on the actual model. I’ve played about with the subtlety on a couple of kits. I used black as the preshade on a Wessex 60 but the effect was quite dark and the finished model looked very grubby. I’ve tried a lighter grey on a red sycamore and I was really pleased with the result. To be honest I can’t remember what I used here, I think it was grey, but granted it’s maybe a bit too dark but I take that and learn for next time. thank you Aaron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
