Wafu Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Hi all. Please find my 1/35 Dragon MD500 from the Italian Forestale Corpo, this Government organisation has now been incorporated into the Police and so it seemed fitting for me to model a group of aircraft I used to see on a daily basis when I was working in Italy. The kits is fairly straight forward but I did get the Eduard set for the OH-6 just to jolly it up a little. The decals are from a great guy in Germany, Heli Scale Quality's Bernd is a guy who produces markings for flying models, just so happens his stuff is in 1/35 and even if you can't see what you want, he'll try to help. Bernd's high skids are a real treat as well. Anyway, hope you like my latest model of the Forestale? Thanks for looking. Edited February 14, 2018 by Wafu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeejeeZ Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Very good build again, Wafu!! The steps under the back doors are a nice touch. How did you do the green pinstripes, decal, or masking? Gertjan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wafu Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Gertjan, I masked them using Tamiya and Washi tape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tank, I'm looking at modelling the C-64, Sky Crane in 1/35, yeah, 1/35, Part 4 of my Forestale builds. Unfortunately it's proving a uphill slog to find plans or any tech information to build the airframe. My only option so far is to up scale the Revell kit, what could go wrong???

RCAFFAN Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) I did an Italian Customs machine once in 1/72 using the Ital. kit and it has similar green pinstriping (on a yellow body). Fortunately I had several kits as there just wasn't enough striping on a single decal sheet. You also had to find a green paint for much of the body (similar to Wafu's scheme above) that matched the decals so Wafu's masking is probably easier, but maybe not in 1/72..... great model Wafu by the way.....
