It's the little things like that that really set a kit over the top, excited to see how this turns out! By the way, how did you make those cables? Thanks, guys! The cables were fashioned with electrical wires stripped from the housing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rotorwash Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I LOVE the camo paint job! Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JesusNut Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I am building this same kit, but not for the GB (don't have time to finish). I am also scratch building seats. How did you do the fabric part of the seats? I have just come back to the hobby and am new to scratch building, so I have a lot to learn. And I am also interested in the colors you used on the camo paint job. What brand of paint did you use? Hopefully I can do a passable job and do my Dad's bird justice.

ice225 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Great paint job! Comparing it with the photo of JesusNut's profile field it's a direct hit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For the seats, I just spray painted them. I didn't use thinner so I guess that's how it came out like that. I used Model Masters enamel paints Dark Tan FS30219, US Army Helo Drab FS 34031 and Flat White Edited April 19, 2017 by flyingdragons75 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those seats sure look like they have some texture to them. I saw some where to use tape, so I played around a little bit tonight and I thought some blue painters tape gave them some nice texture. I just brushed a little bit of Mr surfacer 1500 on it to see what would happen and I thought it looked pretty good. Your build looks great and I am looking forward to seeing the final project.
