this is where i am at so far

Yes that is the PE instrument panels from Eduard, i added some 3D printed knobs and switches on top of the PE

only the lines that are on the sides of the fuselage comes with the kit, the rest needs to be scratched, on top there is no lines at all in the kit

This is what a have done so far with my CH-54

looks like the forum is literally dead here, over facebook there are few on the building process, including mine,

not yet, by sunday i think it will be done, i will publish photos on fabebook, as you said, this forum is a ghost town, so i will not post more updates here

I am back with some more progress. So the cobra is standing now on his legs, the main windshield is on, the door will be the last , decals are on. The kit is excellent, what i dislike are the decals, they are like the new eduard decals, that when they dried you have to peel the carrier film, this is a disaster with the small data stencils, most of them will come off with the carrier film

as soon as i can i will, at the moment i am dealing with some health issues with my mother, so i have not doing much this past week Jorge

Most of the paint work is done on the fuselage so far i am buiding an specific Cobra "wretched mildred"

Some update on the Cobra Finished painting the front and middle section of the fuselage, so far i like the weathered look of the paint so far

i used Quinta studio panels, the rest isOOB

here i am again, let see how this experiment will work at the end, differents shades of green as a base coat some white and black splashed to simulate faded and weathered paint at the end

Hello everyone, long time no posting on this forum, i got my Special hooby / ICM Cobra with all the aftermarket goodies included in the box, i just added the Quinta studio panels So far i have finished the cockpit fuselage fitting is excellent , so far not a single drop of filler need it , i added a few rivets on the ammo doors surface

talking about the cabin windows, the Lear 35 have 6 on the right side and 5 on the left side, the lear 36 have 5 on the right side and 4 on the left side, this due to the extra fuel tank aft of the cabin on the lear 36, so hasegawa's model is a Lear 36 on the box not a 35 model Jorge

I used gunship gray with a few drops of white to tone it down a bit

Dave, i started with NATO black as the base color, from there i lightened and darkened in places to simulate faded paint or weathered paint. Jorge

If i leave the hole rotor assembled with the blades will take lots or space, that is why i just removes the blades as they do in the real ones

so i finally finished this two birds, i modified the main blades so they can be removed for storage , and in order to take this pictures one next to each other. Now i am waitin the release of the Seahawk to add another one to the family

Y don’t know why they add helo drab, all of them are faded black, in some you ser some helo drab color on the wings, but is because those wing were green and then painted black on top, the one in the museum you can see in the pictures the green on some areas, but just the wings

i am using a mix i did myself, NATO black with a few drops of white and dark gray

About 10 PSI, and i use tamiya yellow cap thinner, alclad airbrush cleaner, or the cheapest one, carburator cleaner spray bottle

there is no secret, straight from the bottle to the airbrush, with low pressure

I use MRP helo drab for my helos

hello all, i am working on a new Kitty Hawk black hawk, the decals from the model are useless, when they go to the model they are transparent and disappear on the model. Is there any good soul that is willing to sell werner's wings decals for the MH-60L nightstalkers?? best regards Jorge Oppenheimer

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
