BK-117 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hello guys !! As i allready mentioned, i will build a BO-105, operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. Basic modell is the old Revell BO-105 PAH German Army in 1/32. The most challenging part is to convert the BO-105 into a BO-105 CBS, for this you have to stretch the modell for 7.8 mm and cut out the third window. But now some photos: Hope that i can show you some progress in the next few days Greetings from Austria Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helo 53 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 WOW , your off to a quite impressive start . Stretching the fuselage would require some awesome modelling skills and your work so far sure reflexs that . Keep up the great work Michael and I look forward to seeing the Canadian Coast Guard chopper come together . John . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BK-117 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hello guys ! Today i continued work on my BO-105. I detailed the inlet barrier filter. Now some photos: Greetings from Austria Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK-117 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Today i could work on my BO-105. All windows are in place, also the front doors. The windows of the third, added window were cut from some clear parts, that remained from other model kits. But a lot of things remain to be done !!

BK-117 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Today i added the windshield, after i installed the interior !! After that i scratched the wire strike protection system !! Now the model is ready for another airbrush session with the airbrush basic color from Revell, to control if there are any gaps to fill with putty.

rotorwash Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Michael, Looking good and I like the WSP kit. Great work so far. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK-117 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thank you Ray !! After spending the afternoon with my airbrush the BO-105 looks like this: The windows arent ready, because i have to remove some masking tape. The small black stripes that separate the white from the red colour would be added in the next few days. Also some other things are missing, that should be donne also in the next days. But the finish line is near ;-) Grettings Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aaronw Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Great job so far, and you must work fast to add so much to the kit in about the same time it takes me to get my fingers unglued. Did you just use sheet plastic for the fuselage stretch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK-117 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 @Aaronw Yes i used plastic sheet to stretch the fuselage. I had to stretch the fuselage for 7,8 mm. When i find the photo i will post it here, where you can see, where i had to cut the fuselage halves to stretch it. I will also post some pictures of the progress of my coast guard project, got the decals today :-) Greetings Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK-117 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Today some actual photos of my progress: I took the main rotor from an old BK-117 kit, also the tail rotor. Some details have to be added in the next days, like the cargo hook, the mirror , etc. But the finish line is in sight ! Greetings Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
