what can i say? some folks complained about some fit issues, so far for me didnt have any fit issues and have not used any filler at all so far

i am using gunship gray from MRP paint, i am not using any gloss clear coat, the paint leaves a satin finish good enough for decal placement

i dont use oils on my models, airbrush work and water pencil colors

main gear done and refueling probe too, this is what a have done so far

main gear strus in place as well as their covers, also gunner door done

next stage of the fuselage painting process Engine exhaust and exhaust deflectors in place

i started painting the front part of the helo, people always ask me why i paint my model in sections?, i dont have a exact answer, what i know is it works for me, 🙂 , and it helps me to get different shades of the main color on the model so i can break the monotony of a uniform color all around the model, specially in a model this size

continuing with the build, after closing the fuselage i continued with the top side, engines and transmission housing, engine cowlings will be closed because i am after a helo that is almost ready to launch in a CSAR mission

4 of the 7 figures are assembled and primed this is a resume picture of what ai have done so far

just pilots and gunners

after the cockpit is finished i moved into the main cabin, first the front side walls then comes the cabin roof gunners seats with Eduard PE belts next is the auxiliary fuel tank

Hi everyone, long time for me here without posting , so i decided to finish 2019 with this build, it will be a OOB build and i will add 7 figures from Live Resin and the gunners seatbelts from Eduard. As always i will start with the cockpit and the main cabin, KH did an amazing work on detailing the inside of this bird

Congrats Chuck, as always a masterpiece model , your patience for details is the key for a great model. Jorge

Tank , when i used for the first time the rivets, was in my black hawk i did several years ago, i only used water on the rivets, and after the paint was done you can see clearly the carrier film around the rivets, thta is why i used solvaset on my LB and the carrier film is not visible at all .

They are on now, after i took the pictures a remembered
