Rotorman Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 this has to be the ugliest paint job i have done in the long time...stripping paint and repainting. Save by close up photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

L-GREECO Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hi Oliver, Just tell me, how could we miss that topic? That's about your exhaust supports. There is nice pics with detailed mount scheme. Still hope you will remake it, if you find that your scheme is wrong of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Not remaking them. I know its wrong. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Painted the tail red on my test helo. Too overpowering so keep grey and look a cool decal. Remaking Flir and adding clear resin for glass. Edited July 28, 2019 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tgoetz Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Isn't there one paint scheme that has a blue tail? I think that would look great with this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 I havent found blue tail. I did find black. Tiger pattern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tgoetz Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Do a search for HSC-23 Wild Cards or HSC-26 Chargers. Both had a few blue tails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Thanks Tgoetz for the info on the tail. Heres the finished Flir. I used clear resin to simulate the glass. Edited July 29, 2019 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure, there is some guys California who can print it on decal paper with ALPS printer that can print white color. I've made all decals by myself for my uh-1.

Tgoetz Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I don't like the red cowling cover on the front. Other than that I think it would look great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rotorman Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 i am about to glue the clear parts and I see that the front windshield is not a super fit. I know some of you already have built the Hawk with the same windshield so my question is" bottom side windows first or windshield first. ? thanks Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norbert Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 windshield first, you will need to force a little the alignment (do not forget to future it before) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
