Recommended Posts

Check out the DVD I sent you under the Warrior Walk Around Book Photos under the Tailboom-Tailrotor. Those photos are about as close as you can get.

Hi Floyd,

DVD?? :tumble:

You really sent me DVD?

You sent me your great KW in action, no DVD.

Hi Ray,

My HUGE thank you for those nice images you've posted. They are a big help.

But on top of them I would like to have a lateral view of the cone being shot so that the lense would be alined

with the rear rotor axis.

Yet a few images of the gear shot from the SB, especially where cables run to the fin, would be welcome. ;)

Cheers!

Alexander

Hi guys,

I think it's time to show you something "fresh" I accomplished up the moment. :)

I managed to improve some main rotor head parts. Fist one was the lead-lag dampener. I mastered one so that to be resin cast then.

The in-kit ones suppose to be replaced with the resin ones.

Here some pics of the thingy:

Then I put my hands on the (heck, I dunno how to call it properly)"fork" to hold the rotor blades. I managed to make the blades to be foldable.

This is how it turned out:

Well, I hope you like the images. ;)

Next step is mastering the tail rotor gear.

Cheers and happy modeling!

Hi guys,

Thank you for support and encouragement.

Yes, the parts are to be resin cast and they are on their way to Zactomodels. ;)

BTW, the collectives, seats and pedestal are cast and I hope Chris will post them here courteously . :whistle:

Cheers!

Hi Oliver, Thank you for your interest and support.

Hi there all big scale Kiowa enthusiasts, :)

I think it's time to show you what I accomplished up to this moment.

Tail cone is cobbled up along with the brackets:
