oppenheimerj Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 i started working on the left side of the fuselage on the weathering, i think it looks quite nice , depending on how the light falls on the fuselage you see more or less weathering. I am mad because the tai bomm decal moved in UNITED word, and i dont have another one to replace it, so i will have to live with it as is coments welcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites

11bee Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 It appears KH got the decals wrong. Those markings look almost white. Compare to the pic I just posted on that 160th thread which shows the actual marking to be close to gunship grey. Earlier LB’s had a different shade but I haven’t seen anything close to what KH came up with. Doesn’t take away from a magnificent job on this kit by any means. Your weathering is outstanding!

hawkwrench Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 You should get Wernerswings "Irene" decal sheet. It's got all the markings to do a Gothic Serpent Little Bird. Just saying!!! They're the correct markings and color. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kidding, of course not. To paraphrase Henry Ford, you can paint your Littlebird in any color you want, as long as it's black. There are more than a few glaring errors in this painting. Like the fact that Irish is a paved road... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL, that's the Kitty Hawk way... On a semi-related note, somewhere I recall seeing a video of a Littlebird that appeared to fly under the swords. Think it was a Blackwater helo, not 160th.

Tank Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Jorge, Great job. Really like the weathering and the base gives it that nice touch. If my bird turns out 1/2 as good as yours I will be super happy. When you get a chance, can you measure the height from the ground to the bottom of the bird at the engine and canopy? Using your skid measurements I am thinking about creating a jig for the legs and a stand for the model to rest on while the glue sets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
