maurizio Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Some more progresses on the cabin instruments. I have to build now the structure made by tubes for them and for seats. On the very far right is the FLIR display attached to the cabin roof. Maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loach Driver Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Great work, Maurizio. The scratch-built electronic boxes look perfect. The additional details for the pilot positions look amazing too. This will be a great model when it's finished. LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maurizio Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks mates. I'm planning to finish the project within the last week of May due to an important model contest in central Italy. Please note I'm doing the 7-67 with a FLIR so an additional monitor is required (attached to the floor). Here are some more pics about rivetting job using Archer decals.

maurizio Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 HI Oliver, i'm putting all the ARcher decals since I'm planning to duplicate the fuselages in resing for future projects saving a lot of time... I would putting them using the method found on ARC "tools and tips" gallery (, paper tape, Q-tip, putty and so on). The White plasticard strips must be resized a little bit more....

rotorwash Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 You castings are flawless. Mind giving some hints for those of us experimenting at home with casting on a small scale? In particular, what products do you use? Thanks, Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maurizio Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Dear Rotorwash, there are no special secrets for casting pieces. Here is my previous article "casting resing pieces": casting resin pieces The only "secret" is to put several light coats of silicon rubber instead a bulk quantity in order to let the air bubbles escape to the mold. Silicone rubber and resin were from an ITalian company named PROCHIMA. The local shop is not more buying these products due to the very small use among the modellers so I'm forcing to buy another brand. I've bought resin and silicon rubber online last time. The pruduct company is named RAST DERANAUO and the products are better than the previous company I used (Prochima). They are much more fluid and the cast time in about 1 hour. The dark grey color fo rthe resin is not very good but I can live with it! Cheers Maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maurizio Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Instruments panel dry fitting. Note the instrument bezels are a little bit shy due to the new Italeri acrilic black paint. I'll paint them with a clear matt paint for a better looking. Heli floor has been drybrushed a little bit using a clear grey. Unfortunately the CD pen is still visible over the grey paint.... not worry I'll find a solution! Maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
