Eastern Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Hi Rod, Nice start, indeed. The ins.panel looks promising. As I can see you managed to modify it by adding the air bags. How about an image or two to show how it turned out from above? Oh ,BTW, have you ordered some resin stuff from Zactoman to bring some zest to your build? Cheers and happy modeling!

salvador001 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hi guys, Heres some shots of the model. Almost done with the interior, just needs some weathering and other small details. Tail rotor is scratchbuilt, so as the satcom ´´egg beater´´ antenna and other bits. I used some PE from the UH-60 set, specially the seatbelts. I added the skid shoes to the skids and some photoetch, engine was detailed using wire and stretch sprue. Hope you all like it. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eastern Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Very nice! It's gonna be amazing! I hope Zactoman will have resin cast the rotor blades folding kit by the time you are about to hit the home stretch. ;) Of course, if you opt to have the blades being folded. Just like I did. :) Cheers! Alexander Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Thank you guys! Alex, thanks a lot. I will build 2 Kiowas, this one will be without the folded blades, but the next one will be with the folded blades, so i hope Zactomodel release the set soon. Rod.
