Emvar Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Here is the Obligatory Project Start Pictures. Will be the Yellow Scheme..... Only Aftermarket will be the Belcher APU.... everything else is in the box. Can anyone tell me what the search light part number is..... I can't find it. The CanMilAir decals are surplus so if anyone is interested let me know. :cheers:/>/>/>/> Emil Edited June 9, 2015 by Emvar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Its one of those parts marked "Not for use". If I remember correctly its a tube shape, kind of like a big camera lens. Can't really describe it as I have been up since 3 am. Might have one in the spare box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Found a camera in the spare box if you need it, You open the bags yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Yeah...bags open... Installed the APU. Trying to figure out which holes to open for the CH-113 towel rack on the one side. Just got some interior painting to do. I'll have some pictures soon. I'll pick up that piece from you at Hamilton. E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 You can come over and go check out my built Lab. It has the towel rack so you can see where the holes go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 No Pictures but I have decided to have this closed up. Very minimal work done on the interior. I am masking all of the windows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Did you ever find the spot light? I can still bring you one tomorrow if you need it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Still need it.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 So I have some time.....and here is my progress... Masked and fitted the Clear parts..... Painted the main Body then removed the nose as the Cockpit is not completed yet. Also I have a late addition I have sourced the Belcher Sheet from the Ultracast website so I will be using the Main markings from that sheet and Stencil Data from the Kit Sheet also from my spares box. For the Belcher APU I only used the Lower portion and kept most of the Tail.... It was a couple of additional cuts but I think well worth it. Big Thankyou to Ultracast http://www.ultracast.ca/ Record delivery times 2 Hours from ordering on line to my Door...... Beat that CANPOST. Ha! Here is a good reference build that I am using. http://nabe3saviation.web.fc2.com/modelch113.html Emil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Nice yellow banana there Elmo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Come on Elmo, your a mod on this!!! You HAVE to finish one. Its the LAW!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yeah....I know..... tell Charlene to cut down the honey do list. Lmao Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Ok, Here it is painted and partially prepped.... I have the left side panel lines accented subtly using Tamiya Panel line wash. Will start decaling tomorrow. Here are some pictures..... Oh yeah Rotors will not be glued actually made it so they can be taken apart if needed for storage. Interior complete..... This is not totally OOB and not a show stopper. Critiques as always welcome..... and in the end I think this will go up for sale..... so if you all know someone who flew one or worked on them I'm really only wanting to recover the cost of the kit and the aftermarket on this one. Sooooooooooooo here goes. Also I'm leaning towards Symmetrical markings but the FIP looks cool too... Thanks for looking, and Shawn you still looking for the size 13 boot?

Emvar Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 ELT yet to be painted Struts yet to be installed and antenna yet to be placed..... Was not going for accurate but fairly close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Oh very nice, go with the Sym markings. Not all of the Labs ended up with postal truck. This way you do not mistakenly mark the wrong airframe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Oh, I think the upper blades are grey. Still looking great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Organic Lager? What ever happened to Labatts? Is that anything like Rolling Rock? LOL---John Edited May 22, 2015 by john53 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 John, Haven't drank Labatts beer since I was a teenager. Mill street is nice. Shawn I think I saw the blades black on the Ottawa museum piece which is what I kinda copied. Not worried should have the other side decalled next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GretarBill Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Nice build. I like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Thanks GretarBill.... Officially the build is done..... have to wait for the clear coat to dry then I will finish any touch ups and paint the ELT. Still have to do the Dash marks around the Emergency Exits And install the Antenna. The kit was built so the rotors are removable from the hubs (good for transport). You can't see the interior as it is buttoned up. There was no aftermarket inside the kit....outside pretty much just the APU/Spot light/and resin ACL lights/also the Belcher sheet. Screwed up the CANADA on the side so I found some old two piece Arrow Graphics decals for the CANADA and the Fire Axe. So my first one past the finish line in a while..... This is not an overly accurate build as there are many differences between the kit and the actual Aircraft but the representation is close. When I do build this again for my collection it will be a former Voyageur Aircraft with doors open. Will post in the finished thread once all the touch ups are done.. One other thing this will be sold......really not looking for much just a recoup of the kit and some aftermarket costs..... So if anyone knows a Pilot or even a Tech it would probably make a great three footer on a desk. :cheers:/> Emil Edited May 26, 2015 by Emvar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Looking gorgeous, Emil. What technique did you use for your walkway texture? I like it! It's what I should have done on my Herc. ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Turned out great Elmo!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ALF ALF, You are going to laugh but it's liquid paper. Mask the area you want covered apply the liquid paper....then remove the tape you used to mask before it dries. I painted over it then applied the decal turned out pretty decent. Use it on my hornet build too. Cheers Emil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GretarBill Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hmmm. Maybe a stupit question. But what is liquid paper? The chopper is great. GWG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hmmm. Maybe a stupit question. But what is liquid paper? The chopper is great. :thumbsup:/>/> GWG Tools and tips Here is a google link to correction fluid or liquid paper as some call it.. I'm sure it is available all over the world in your local stationary store. Google link I use the sponge applicator that comes with the fluid to apply.... because it dries pretty fast I also remove the masking almost immediately. Hope this helps.
