I do not use any weathering powders or anything of that sort, it does not look realistic on any helos i have seen so far in my opinion. As far as MIG encyclopedias i would get them all if u can.

Rotorman Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Putty work. Check seams. Apply paint . Repeat if needed. Slow process. I usually use ca for seam work but my tamiya pi putty was getting old so needed to use. A lot of shrinkage with tamiya so several application is needed. That took more appkication of putty than i thought. Edited May 12, 2019 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) I had to cut off the copper and white cylinders coming out of the front transmission, it was too difficult to do a proper paint job (will reglue later) I primed the top in grey to check for flaws on the seams and so far its tight. There are a lot of things to fix on this before the final paint job. I like the idea of the red tie downs on Charlie's Huey that I had to make them for my build..a great touch charlie ,thanks. I am aware the hoist is in the wrong place. I added a light to it and will install a resin lens after the final paint job. Edited May 19, 2019 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

L-GREECO Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hope so, Oliver. You are welcome. I have an idea, how this 3 short supports can mount to exhaust. There is perpendicular crossbar on exhaust, it looks like stiffener. So I think 2 short supports attaches to inner side of this crossbar, as a longest support. But the shortest support... have no idea how it mounted... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) The best i can do with the ref. photos..thanks again fellows. So little will be seen once the doors on....but its there. Doing putty work in the bottom of the fuselage now. Still trying to get the right color fuselage, Dark Ghost Grey feels too dark to me. US Navy grey primer from Vallejo looks the closest according to photos im looking at in the seahawk book. Edited May 25, 2019 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L-GREECO Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Oliver, sorry, but I think it is not correct enough. Angles and fixing points incorrect, I think. Of course, you can do as you wish, but... If you can wait around 12 hours, I can try to make a drawing for you to explain. Here is 4 am, need to sleep a little. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Yes i do see the angles is off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you change your mind, let me know. I'm sure there's no too much work to remake that supports. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
