I'll post a piccie later before the final assembly of the folded rotors 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 A quick update before its completion, a bit of tidying in some areas still to do before the bits and piece's go on , and rebuild the pilots step, which i clumsily broke off, I remasked and redid the blue, i didn't like it . The decals were faultless for application , i mixed the orange top canopy colour from tamiyas clear red and yellow, a shame about the kits non clear clear parts though I had to remove the side door masks so i can paint the lower half of them next, and redo the front white outline 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 The paintwork and decaling is up to your high build standards so everything is looking great now 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 That is looking excellent Glynn, some really nice painting. Interesting how the paint covers the lower half of the clear door, could be quite a tricky curve to follow, any idea how you will tackle it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
