1/32 EC-725 CARACAL - Forward Landing gear bay - 12/21/2008


Recommended Posts

Good to see you're still at it! :doh:

Are those weapons in scratch-built in 1/32 or are they 1/35? If they are 1/35, you can get FN MAGs much easier than converting a SAW, which is a completely different weapon. Many kits contain M240s or L7A2 GPMGs, which are essentially FN MAGs.

Hi Moritz,

You're right, the weapons are 1/35, and I did not notice the L7A2 was far more suitable ! I checked my boxes and unfortunately I only have one L7A2 in 1/35 and will have to get another one.

Thank you very much for pointing this out ! :thumbsup:

Regards,

Richard

Hi,

Thank you for your kind comments

Not an easy project by any means... How did you make the quilting in the ceiling and cabin walls?

Jens

Well I used the inside top cover of Nestlé "Ricoré" available at supermarkets in France. This is coffee powder for breakfast, and the aluminium top cover depicts that quilting very well in 1/32nd scale.

Cheers,

Richard

C´est un travail magnifique que tu nous montres ici.

Very well done. I had first thought that you´d put the quilting onto the metal all by yourself but now I remember that here in Germany there are some products with a similar surface structure, too. Great thing - I gotta remember that. Keep up the great work!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
