Phone Phixer Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Right then. On to all things gun like. As I said before, the Live-Resin GAU 18 .50 cal gun set is made for the Academy kit. I could not get the ammo tanks to fit the KH kit, so had to use the kit supplied items. Not that there are any problems with them. I did kit bash the gun mounts to get the better resin ones to fit. The resin gun components. Painted ready for install. When it came time to fit everything, I found there was very little room between the cabin sides and gunners seats. This meant I wasn't able to adjust the position of the gunners much, to match up with the guns. In the end I just had to compromise, and not have the gunners actually holding the guns. Doors and panels have been glued into position. Just need to work on all things whirly now and it will be done. Thinking ahead to linking this WIP to the RFI post. Any links I do, appear as a plain hyperlink address. How do you create a link in the form of those nice titled tile/icons that many BM members use?

Phone Phixer Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 OK then. The final stages. Tail rotor built with some added wiring. And the main rotor head and blades done. The wires sticking out from the rotor head are for the anti ice wiring looms, to connect to the blades. So, I'm calling this done. A couple of photo's at the bench, I'll have to take it outside for RFI photo's, for better light and more space. It's a bit large, now complete. It's been an enjoyable build. Just the usual problems with Kitty Hawk instructions, mis-numbered parts and poor build sequence. Rob. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Beautifully done, and so quick! Having seen this build for the first time, I'm happy to stick to the Academy version for now!

Easiest way to do this is click the three dots in the top right corner of your first post in this thread. Select 'Share' from the drop down menu. This will open a dialogue box with the link in it. Select the entire link and copy and paste it into your RFI thread post and it should make the tidy box link. Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
