lifeline Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hi, Since there's yet a helicopter in the GB, I'm building the Marineflieger Seaking Mk.41.. this will be OOB build. Construction start with the cockpit and cabin area.. Revell provide the usual paint instructions referring their own line of paint, which is rarely available here, so I have to convert it using what we have here based on conversion app I have, and walkaround from the internet.

lifeline Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Hi, Thank you for the kind words, guys... So far... I closed up the fuselage halves, preshade, and sprayed the main camouflage pattern... It's been a while since the last time I paint camouflage, and actually don't really like how it turned out on this sea king. And the colour (especially the green) seemed a bit off from reference I saw, too... So based on those reason, I think I will clear coat the model and wash it with some black/grey wash and see if it could help to tone the color a bit and blend it more, before I paint the area of "special scheme" section (half-front of the aircraft). Beside, from the reference, I see the camouflaged section of the aircraft is a little more weathered than the "special-scheme" section. http://www.b-domke.de/AviationImages/SeaKing/6933.html Cheers, Mario Indonesia Edited June 24, 2017 by lifeline Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Looks quite good to me! The scheme of the Marineflieger Seakings is usually quite weathered and the different "shades of grey" come out different on every individual bird. I like the contrast of the colors and the fact that you didn´t blend them too much into each other! HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes... and it's just lovely isn't it? 1 hour ago, Hajo L. said: I like the contrast of the colors and the fact that you didn´t blend them too much into each other! HAJO The problem is I used blue-tac to mask the camouflage pattern, and the edges between the color is not uniformed. Some are hard-edges while some are too "feathered". I think I screwed up with the angle of the airbrush pen and the blue-tac diameter. Cheers, Mario Indonesia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lifeline Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hi, last few days I finish weathering the camouflaged area with tamiya enamel, and paint the blue side... Followed by decals with the help of a lot decal softener, and few touch ups here and there... Especially the eagle part. A couple coats of future followed..

Terima kasih, Tobi! Cheers, Well, unfortunately I'm still on-site several miles off-shore until mid July. So, No alcohol allowed.... and it's also prevent me to 100% finish this build right now. So I will continue to wash the main fuselage, while assemble the Main and tail rotor parts, and packed it all as sub assemblies when I go home later. All the tiny bits and rigging will have to wait until I got home. Cheers, Mario Indonesia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lifeline Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hi... I've been home several weeks now, but just able to continue work on the seaking last few nights... I already installed the details antennas and rigging... And sprayed flat coat... The end is near....;-) Cheers, Mario Indonesia Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hajo L. Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Sorry, this is propably too late, but I found some old pictures (and poorly taken...) from 2003 when I visited the SAR-meet in Kiel where this seaking was part of the show. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lifeline Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Thanks HAJO, Nice pictures indeed... It seemed like they sometimes change the antenna and sensors. Look a little bit different with my references... Cheers, Mario Indonesia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lifeline Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Well, it's far from perfect.. But I'm calling it done. Workbench photo for the time being, guys. Better pictures will follow later... Done Cheers, Mario Indonesia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
