Dermo245 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Bonjour mes amis! Hello Friends! So I'm in with this French Navy rotor in centenary scheme for the Aeronavale Dream Model Dauphin_Box by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Kit contents Dream Model Dauphin_Sprue_2 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Nice recessed details and correct large tail unlike the Matchbox Dauphin... Dream Model Dauphin_Sprue_1 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Resin nose, bits and small P/E sheet Dream Model Dauphin_Sprue_3 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Clear parts Dream Model Dauphin_Sprue_4 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Simple two-sided instruction sheet.. Dream Model Dauphin_instructions by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr And three decal schemes - a regular two-tone helo, a two-tone with tail & fuselage art and the all black box scheme with tricoleur tail which I'll do. Dream Model Dauphin_decals_1 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Dream Model Dauphin_decals_2 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr I've built this kit before but as an earlier AS-356 Dauphin II and it's a little gem..

Dermo245 Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Bonjour mes amis. Bit more done on the Panther. The glass side parts needed a lot of trimming to fit. The various P/E bits were also added. DreamModel AS_565_Panther_6 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Off to primer next! Cheers, Dermot 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKirwan Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Looking good Dermot. The glasshouse is tricky indeed. Have to say now that I see the resin nose actually on the a/c she looks right in terms of overall length. BTW the panel line on the roof just in front of the intake I cant find on photos. And its a bitch to cover. I have one of these ex-IAC in the colours of Chile Navy but I used Roy Kinsella's resin nose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermo245 Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Bonsoir mes modellistes. Some paint on the Panther...you could say it's a Black Panther! This is Mr Hobby Matt Black and it sprayed beautifully. DreamModel AS_565_Panther_8 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr More soon!

Dermo245 Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 Masking up the tail for the blue and red DreamModel AS_565_Panther_9 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr And after a couple of goes to get it right and some touchups here and there, happy how it has turned out! DreamModel AS_565_Panther_10 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Will leave it cure overnight and then on to clear coat. Thanks for looking!

Dermo245 Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Half-term here so started on the decals. DreamModel AS_565_Panther_11 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Very nice but very thin with a mad desire to curl up on themselves.

Dermo245 Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 So decals done and then added the fiddly P/E antennae and gear. DreamModel AS_565_Panther_12 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr The wash was a homemade light grey mix - turned out ok-ish. Last bits to add and she'll be done.
