OzH Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Good start and an intresting subjectWhich one are you going to build? Red one or Blue one I'm going for the Blue one... Made some progess over the last few days, the cabin and cockpit are done, ready to be installed I managed to get a couple of shots of the interior (thanks Simon) had to modify and then add the cabin seats. I used the eduard seatbelts, painted them black then a quick skim with a file got the buckles looking good, the downside is eduard give you belts for 6 seats, I used plain black brass strips and spread the "good" ones out (just noticed one is missing, have to replace that!) Also got the Royal Navy doors comleted with glazing installed, not that easy, but looks ok to me! Ready to get the sides together, then start on the exterior....

Stebos Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Decent interior there, hopefully it will display well with all that glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzH Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Well, she's ready for painting, I've fitted the exterior details, door handles, hinges, doppler and other antenna's and some mesh engine intake covers Also got some work done on the rotor's, head and undercarriage. The rotor's themselves are the loon replacements. The kit rotors are flat in cross section for some reason; the loon jobbies have an aerodynamic cross section, the black details are from the Eduard set. All ready for undercoating: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzH Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Had a bit of a spurt and finished this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Great looking result. Very nice deep blue paintwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebos Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Result! Have to agree with Erwin there, a very nice sheen to your paintwork. Silver undercoat? I've come across past builds where silver is allowed to shine through just slightly to deepen the gloss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
