  1. Dear Whitey,

    I'm not going to use that conversion. I prefer a complete scratchbuilding job.

    I forget to mention that the Pelikan will have the interiors with the rear ramp lowered and the right side door opened.

    cheers

  2. Hi there,

    I'm back here with another heli/chopper after a break with a 1/35 scale scratchbuilt tank, an Italian Anti A/C APC, the SIDAM.

    Since I'm not able to fall in love with OOB kits (see my 1/48 HH-60J and AB-212ASW), I'm back with a not-very-easily 1/48 HH-3F.

    The project started back in 2008 or 2009 and put apart untill Jan. 2015 with some minor upgradeswith measurements jobs or styrene sheets cuts.

    I've bought the Hase SH-3 kit and the Attic resin conversion at that time considering to save a lot of time. After several weeks the parcel

    arrived and immediately my enthusiasm felt apart (see the pics.....). Both kits were put apart waiting for better days.

    Here are some picture of the very early stages of this building.

    It is not an easy building so it could be take some months or years. I wouldn't post pics of the well known _HASE SH-3.

    Cheers

  3. Thanks mate!

    The model is almost done. Drybrushing using the interior green, medium grey and radome tan depending by the different edges colors. For example: radome tan drybrushing job on the lower part of the vehicle due to the dust.

    Washing using White spirit and dark brown + black. Remember to wash the entire model with pure White spirit befone the dedicated wash with oils otherwise your model will have an entire set of spots.

    Oils a very thinned.

  6. The top, rounded hatch, beige colored is from the kit, modified and then copied in resin.

    The side hatches (for rifles) are made in plasticard and then made several of them in resin (for this and future projects).

    The MG is from Tamiya and came out from my spare part bank.

    Thanks for watching.

    Cheers

    Maurizio
