salvador001 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Heres another update guys. I made a lot of details from scratch, the upper console was detailed a bit although it will not be seen so much with the doors closed, some other scratch items include the wire strike blades, antennas, belly details, etc. Its almost ready for painting. Hope you all enjoy. Calling her done in a couple of weeks. Rod. Edited February 28, 2018 by salvador001 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

salvador001 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Ok guys, calling this one done, the model was built 90% OOB except for the excellent Werner Wings Huey upgrades, and some antennas, wire strike blades, handles, were made from scratch. Painting was done using Model Master acrylics. Main color is U.S. Army Helo Drab. Decals came from Fireball Modelworks. Hope you all enjoy, if you have any questions please ask me. Thanks. Rod.

rotorwash Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Beautiful build, Rod! what did you think of the 3D printed parts? Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Thank you all for your kind words. I love how it turned out. The 3D parts are amazing Ray, Floyd did a great job with it, and your support as always is awesome. Chris, the dampers were lowered a couple of mm because i cut the mast to make it smaller. Rod.

Ray Ray, i forgot to tell you, all parts are good, except for the APR-39 mounts, they are flat in the surface section when glued to the nose, they must be curved as the nose is, thats why they dont sit well. Maybe Floyd can fix this issue. I ended up using the old Fireball ones. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
