rotorwash Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Good stuff! We better get our act together and get these builds finished by New Years! Yours is coming along great. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midnight Tech Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thanks guys! Can see daylight at the end of the Phrog! An almost whole 46: Gonna try to get gear under it tomorrow.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Looking real nice. I like those old Viet-nam era helos. Hope you end up weathering the cr*p out of it. What is the thing underneath the rectangular windows inside the fuselage? Almost looks like a urinal for the gunner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Midnight Tech Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 I want to say a brass catcher. Yep...it's the kit's interpretation of the brass funnel and bag. Wasn't gonna try and make the bags to hang from the funnels. No weathering - built exactly as the museum bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doupnik Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Looking really good, can't wait to see it finished. mason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avus Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Looks good! I always admire someone who paints it's model before putting it together and gets great results. I'd get mad with gaps and bad fittings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midnight Tech Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 It's not that bad - but just don't look at the bottom - it don't quite match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stump Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Nice helo..Where are you located at in SC..STUMP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Midnight Tech Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 I'm in the Upstate Stump - about an hour away from the museum. Got the windows in the cockpit... Gotta have a decent day so i can get the clear on it and decals applied....now if I can just remember where I put my spare cartridges... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doupnik Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Your Phrog is looking great! All it needs is a layer of grime to look real JK, I know you are going to keep it clean. mason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But...I did get the soot shields painted! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Midnight Tech Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Thanks to all who've posted comments, but due to a balky printer, I was unable to complete "BS&T" before the end of the build. Hopefully things will go better with the next one I enter. Here are today's pics of my helo...but first one Photobucket wants to lay on its side...must be the Mon-key...
