dnl42 Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 My end-of-year at work was brutal; my beginning-of-year wasn't much better, either. I managed to finish the MQ-8B last month, and now I'm going to finish this bird. The Part PE set includes visors frames and sheet. Looks like they were (at least some times) green. I actually did them in mid September. I also painted the transmission housing Wish I could say it fit nicely Some file time fixed it Decided to scratch the hand-holds on the transmission housing I also managed to give it a nice white prime. Sadly, those clear parts needed gray first. So, I stripped the white primer off just the clear parts so they could be sprayed gray.. Between the partial stripping and the respray, I also spent some time thinking about the MLG. On the one hand, the attachment method demanded a bare plastic-to-plastic bond; on the other hand, they're quite delicate and I can be supremely klutzy... As you can see, I decided to go for the better bond and hope I can manage to not bash them between now and done. So, here it is with the MLG installed and the clear panels sprayed gray. Onward ho!
