Planebuilder62 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hi JB I think I alao have 6 right hand blades. Its strange because the Blackdog box picture shows left hand blades. Here is a picture of what I have. I got no reply from Blackdog when I advised them of this problem a year ago. regards Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Engine nacelles complete and installed. The resin replacement engine looks good. The only thing left was the rotors. Thought about converting the kit blades, butchered a few with out success. With the build in danger of stalling I decided to use the resin blades. I tried placing them in hot water and bending to reduce the visible handed issues, only partly successful. Picture below before painting (apologies for the fuzzy photo) Final outcome wasn't too bad. I enjoyed the build until I got to the rotors, was in danger of joining the shelf of doom. One for the back of the display cabinet, not the front. Will post up some better pictures for the gallery later in the week. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoolioPaulio Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Well I would never have noticed the rotors if you hadn't mentioned them, but I'm not really an aircraft expert I think it still looks good, nice clean build. I'd like to add an Osprey to my cabinet (when I get a cabinet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Nice result and that engine area looks great. Will look out for the new photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 A superb build, and as others have already mentioned I would not have noticed the difference in the rotors. Still this info will come in handy whenever I get around to doing this with mine as I have the same set as yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am building this kit right now (with no where near the detail of yours, mine will have the wheels up on the stand in the flying position) and plan to finish it in the same scheme that you finished yours in which is one of the decal options which come with the kit. Like you I plan to paint the red on the tails and I was curious to know what red you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
