Rotorman Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) New platform since the one I had before made the cabin too tall( it looked odd even if the cabin is placed high on the platform on the real thing.)Sold few photos on scrachbuilding for an upcoming story on AK magazine so I got paint instead of cash. Now I can finish the inside of the cabin. Edited April 15, 2023 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Thanks to the Writers in Hollywood potentially going on Strike in 2 weeks all productions have stopped so plenty of time to work on the truck. cabin and oil filters off the platform . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruiz Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 This crane will be on par with the helicopter in terms of detailing; great job overall. About the paints, did you choose them? If so, why the 3G instead of the Real Color? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

About the paints, did you choose them? If so, why the 3G instead of the Real Color? You mean Lifecolor from Italy? I usually use Tamiya but I have slowly switched to other brands. I have never used AK paints so I am gonna give it a try. Glad u like the build so far. I have never painted any armor trucks so I am reading several books before I take the plunge. Any tips are appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any tips are appreciated. I was referring to Real Color by AK; from what I know, it is similar to Tamiya or Gunze and has good opinions in general, but I have never used them.

Dutch Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 This is actually two kits in one! But when you add the figures, I would say it's closer to three! Very nice work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very nice work. Thanks. Still trying to find the figures. This dio needs a few figures to finish telling the story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Hmm. The only thing 1:32 I have is the old white metal Special Forces Seargant by Monogram-Merite. Probably not much help with helo maintenance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 This is where measuring counts . I need to put the helo on its feet in order to have the right length for the cable to reach to the engine. Measure twice cut once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
