Dermo245 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Hi all, Here's my latest finish, for the French Fancy GB II here on the forum. The short build thread is here but to recap: Kit: DreamModel 1/72 AS-565 Panther Number: DM720008 Build: OOB Paints: Tamiya and Mr Hobby Acrylics. Klear, Homemade wash (a bit chalky) Decals: From kit Extras: P/E and resin bits from kit The build was fairly straightforward but the clear parts needed a good bit of test-fitting and fuselage trimming to make them fit. While there's lovely P/E and resin bits supplied with the kit, they don't include the collectives for the cockpit or the port side searchlight. There's also nothing in the back of the cabin which is a pity and the rotorhead is a bit simplified. The kit-supplied decals were super thin (which helped with putting them on) but had a mad desire to curl up if left too long. But happy how it turned out, it's a cool scheme and looks good from across the room!

Pete in a shed Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Very nicely turned out Dauphin. The panther markings look a bit graffitti like to me but the effect is very striking. I was thinking of getting one of these to do in Chinese markings to go with my Z8, so thanks for the heads up regarding the transparencies.

If it helps, I had to trim back this part on both sides to make the door clear part (and main door part) fit better.
