Rotorman Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Getting all these walls in such a small space to match was tricky, a lot of dry fitting was needed. This is definitely testing my skills. Edited July 1, 2021 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim it took a while to get it right. I don't have the right tools to get curved shapes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Just now, Rotorman said: it took a while to get it right. I don't have the right tools to get curved shapes. I had to leave the nose in place so the only entry and dry fitting was from the tiny opening. I have no idea on the painting sequence for this yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Looking great. The painting is going to be a real PITA on these. I am almost at the point where I need to paint inside the nose. The cabin is already base painted, now on to details...When I can find the time. Life and hockey keep getting in the way. Go Bolts!! Another cup is within reach.

Rotorman Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Its starting to get tight in the engine area. Still debating about putting the engine in or not. Edited July 4, 2021 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rotorman Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) A bit if change in order to show the inner helicopter guts and the engine at the same time. The engine is held with 2 brackets and can be hinged forward for .maintenance I ended up cutting the 2nd cowling. Going with the follow below. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/jj121/heloman2008/20210705_143158.jpg Edited July 5, 2021 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eastern Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Просто охренеть! Oliver, you are damned plastic addict! LOL I always follow your builds lurking around with no signing in but not now. I'm really stunned and amazed with what I have seen so far following this build. But... May I ask you, what are you doing for life? Is there any time left for making money? LOL Cheers!
