Bonjour mes amis! Hello Friends!

Nice recessed details and correct large tail unlike the Matchbox Dauphin...

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.

I've built this kit before but as an earlier AS-356 Dauphin II and it's a little gem..

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.

Masking up the tail for the blue and red

And after a couple of goes to get it right and some touchups here and there, happy how it has turned out!

Will leave it cure overnight and then on to clear coat.

 

Thanks for looking!

Will post some more pics in the Gallery, thanks for all your kind words and to @Wez for hosting this one.

 

Until the next time, happy modelling and take care.

All the best,

Dermot
