Billy54 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 My first completion for 2021 although I started it last year. Built straight from the box (eduard canopy masks were used) and finished with Mr Color paints. The kit went together easy enough but the decals were a challenger and I was happy that I didn't do too bad a job with them. Those propellers come pretty close to the fuselage. Based on the advice of @Witman61 I have added addition images with a neutral background. 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witman61 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The model looks very nice, but the pictures are spoiled by the background. Try to take pictures against a plain grey background and the effect will be terrific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariado Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 That's a great model 👏 I agree about the photography - go for a plain background so that we can fully appreciate your fine work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertTheBear Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 That's rad! Love it! Also cool, they included a display stand. Makes sense with those massive rotors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Wingman, not only do I appreciate your advice, I took it and have loaded additional images with a white background. You have to understand that photography is not my strong point, I am just a point and click guy with a cell phone. In fact I viewed taking pictures of my models as a bit of a frustrating burden which is the wrong attitude to take if I want to share them electronically with others. I will use the white cardboard background in the future and attempt to improve my photographic skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense with those massive rotors Thanks Rupert, I agree it is a rad(ical) design and yes the stand is cool and saves a little bit of building time because you don't have to worry about the undercarriage. 2 hours ago, swralph said: Very nice build.😀 Thanks swralph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
