AdrianMF Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 It’s a challenging scheme all right. I wonder if the Scheme was sponsored by a masking tape company... Looking forward to seeing more paint! Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the masking (at least this stage - 2 more colours to go!) done eventually and sprayed the lighter green. Not photographed it yet though. I think it's going to be the tan next. * that I just made up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 After many hours of masking it's finally painted! From the looks of the pile of used tape afterwards I must have used hundreds of small strips of tape. All worth it though, I love this scheme. Gloss coat and decals next thanks for looking Julian 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qn30jEkPz7 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 This looks excellent - do you recommend those Moose Republic decals? I’ve a Sea Knight (I think an old Matchbox kit) I could do with buying a replacement set for. These would give me another option for the possible 2021 Nordic pt.2 GB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decals are superb - thin enough to conform, opaque, and very little decal film. There might be enough spare for a second model as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Now with a flat coat and the masks off. Have to say I'm pretty happy with this: Got a couple of days off work this week, so going to try and get it finished by next weekend. cheers Julian 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Ok so I got a bit distracted by other things. Really well get those last few jobs done and finish this soon! Meanwhile, I came across this video of a Swedish HKP-4 in action at an airshow. Some pretty special flying here, not sure I'd want to be a passenger though: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Very good, almost as good as a Chinook in RAF pilots hands. Mind you I did like that flat circle flown in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
