le_boz Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hi Everyone, I just finish to unbox in Thailand, and start this Italery 1/72 Super Puma. I flew on this one back in the days in the Swiss Air Force. I hope you will enjoy the build. Boz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 That´s a nasty gap in the fuselage, mate! How did you do the instruments on the panel? Those look gorgeous! HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
le_boz Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hey Hajo, Will just need some more putty and sanding, but is it not what it is all about ? For the overhead panel I just used some plastic card, photo. The main instrument panel was done the same way some pictures, and a 00 paint brush. Cheers, Boz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hajo L. Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Great save on the big gap in the plastic! It´s not visible anymore! HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ice225 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Very nice build and it's even nicer, that you have a relationship to that special helicopter. Looks like you put some extra-effort into it to get it right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
le_boz Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi Guys, Thank you for your nice comments. Here are some progress on the build. It will go the paint shop at some point next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

le_boz Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hi Fellow modellers, Here are some update on my work in progress. I am putting the decals at the moment. I still have to finish the tail rotor, and undercarriage and it will be finished. I hope to be done by next week. Here are some pic of this week progress.

RCAFFAN Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Really nice job. Looks pretty good but wish you had taken a few minutes to fill and sand that nasty seam on the exhaust pipe. Otherwise a very nice model.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
le_boz Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Point taken , Actually I did not realise until you mentioned it. Maybe I focused on too many small details, and I missed the obvious one, Thanks for the notice, and constructive remark, Cheers, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Figured it was just an oversight as after dealing with the plastic fuselage short shot, it certainly wasn't your ability in question. I probably only noticed it because I've corrected the same problem on a few Ital. Puma kits (and the Airfix) . Glad you took comment as intended as the kit is really well done but missing a seam like that would kill you in a contest despite your clear talent otherwise...

le_boz Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Ha Ha, I agree with you I did some in the past, and honestly some rivets counters are pretty tough. But at the end this is the only way to find a winner, as most of those models are very nicely done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
