oppenheimerj Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Hi everyone, long time for me here without posting , so i decided to finish 2019 with this build, it will be a OOB build and i will add 7 figures from Live Resin and the gunners seatbelts from Eduard. As always i will start with the cockpit and the main cabin, KH did an amazing work on detailing the inside of this bird Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 after the cockpit is finished i moved into the main cabin, first the front side walls then comes the cabin roof gunners seats with Eduard PE belts next is the auxiliary fuel tank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Wow.... that's some impressive work so far! Does Eduard give you enough belts for all the troop seats or just the gunner and CE? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 just pilots and gunners Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 4 of the 7 figures are assembled and primed this is a resume picture of what ai have done so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 continuing with the build, after closing the fuselage i continued with the top side, engines and transmission housing, engine cowlings will be closed because i am after a helo that is almost ready to launch in a CSAR mission Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) i started painting the front part of the helo, people always ask me why i paint my model in sections?, i dont have a exact answer, what i know is it works for me, 🙂 , and it helps me to get different shades of the main color on the model so i can break the monotony of a uniform color all around the model, specially in a model this size Edited January 1, 2020 by oppenheimerj Quote Link to post Share on other sites

11bee Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Amazing paintwork. What are you using for the Gunship Grey and the gloss cost? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What are you using for the Gunship Grey and the gloss cost? i am using gunship gray from MRP paint, i am not using any gloss clear coat, the paint leaves a satin finish good enough for decal placement Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollie T-Y Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Much need for filler or modifications? Looks like a nice build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
