Hi All,

 

I don't usually do helicopters, but I like the colour scheme of this one.

Here's the sprues.

A colourful subject choice Dave and at least the kit includes a folded rotor option to avoid it taking up too much space in your display cabinet ;)

Good luck with her, it's a great scheme

Hi All,

 

I've finished with the interior.

I didn't want to spend too much time on the interior as it can't be seen with the doors shut - which is the way I'm going to build it.

WOW that looks great!!! :thumbsup:

 

Are you going to leave the side door open?

 

No, there's not really enough detail in there.  The real thing has bits of medical equipment etc. all over the place and that would be too much for me to replicate.

 

It's ready for primer now.

The only difficult bit was with the clear parts around the cockpit, but a bit of filler and sanding seems to have sorted it.

Great interior! I know very little about Seak Kings, other than that they look really cool! :D But it looks neat! Well done!

Hi All,

 

Priming done.

...and the white done.

The rotors aren't glued in place, just pushed in.  I don't have any day-glow paint at the moment so I'll have leave it until I can get hold of some,  I've no idea which is best paint to use.

gee she's looking nice just with the white on.

 

Am looking forward to seeing her with the Day-glow panels.

Hi All,

 

I've finally finished my other GBs and acquired some fluorescent orange so this is progressing a bit again.

 

Masking this up was far more challenging than I expected - not helped by running of yellow tape.

I knew I'd missed masking a few spots - but not this many.

So a little bit of retouching needed next - luckily there's that two week deadline extension otherwise it wouldn't be possible to get it finished.

You're back Dave, I was wondering what had happened with this build. 

 

An epic masking jobs I see (know all about those!!!), she's going to look nice and bright when done.

 

Hope you have a great Christmas and new year.

Hi All,

 

I didn't do much to this over xmas, but I've done most of the painting, but there's still some to be done.  With time running out I've moved onto the decaling.

There's still about a hundred stencils to go on so that'll be a bit of a grind.

Looks great Dave. :yahoo:

Only a 100 stencils left you say, that's just 20 a day and you'll have it done before Sunday. 

Stencils Strengthens the Soul I say. :D

Choppers don't usually rock my boat at all but seeing this one in the gallery did just that! What a good looking build, congratulations Dave :yahoo:. V-P

well done on completing her and glad she made it into the gallery in time as well.

 

It's always great to see choppers in the build and this one was certainly a fine looking chopper.

 

A great build to follow and I hope you enjoyed it, again well done. :thumbsup:
