Nice work so far. I like your technique for painiting the belts/buckles. Is all of the buckle detail molded in on the seats? I have an ADAC version of the 145, but didn't notice that much detail. I am at work at the moment, so I can't check. Look forward to following your progress.

Awesome work on the cockpit console , Neo ; I also like the red buttons on the cyclic control sticks and I agree with the other guy's about the cockpit seats , the seatbelts look really good .

Hi guy's (and girls if any are around :unsure: )

thanks for all the comments

Here is an update from you Euro Copter 1/48th building plant !!

I found some headsets on the sprue and decided to use them..

So after 7 tries(and allot more swearing :unsure: ) to glue the headsets to the coper wire here is the result..... after closing up the thing i realize that we barely see them and my GF say's all the swearing wasn't worth it... BUT i took a new year resolution that states: "on every model i build I MUST try at least 1 new technique"

Thank for all the kind word Holmes

Progress has been slow work as taken most of my time

I had a little problem with Future on the white surface it Yellowed on some areas and after reading alot it is a known issue of future. Unfortunatly all the decals where on so i patiently rub the Future off with a Q-Tip and some rubbing alcohol. When i get more time its going to get 2 to 3 coats of Humbrol Clear gloss enamel to finish it off

I hit the blades with a satin coat but i find them too glossy so ill probable go for a flat coat over it

here is a pic of the current progress
