Moixmodels Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Oh well, I didn't think the B pillars were so evident from the inside... My conscience won't feel good if I don't do it, so here it is, made the pillars with styrene sheet, it was very time consuming, but it's totally worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Nice. The B pillars look good and really finish the interior in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I can resume someday after I see your build here. May I suggest you add the wall thickness to your helicopter since it it obvious if the cabin doors are going to be opened. Here’s my neglected helo. Would you be able to share your scaled down stock file of the seats? Looks really nice! I will have to search the scaled down file, I don't remember where I saved it, I will send it once I find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I think there are actually 4 or 5 evenly spaced holes in that B pillar, the others have circular covers over them (which makes little sense to me). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moixmodels Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 I noticed in some pictures the first aid kits hanging from the pillars, so I printed them, I need to paint them olive drab and make the little red cross. At first I thought it was too small, but after looking at references, I think they are alright. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This file has 4 important things, the collectives, the seats, the pedals and cyclic. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4725031 I had to scale them down on the printer slicing software, but the details on these pieces are astonishing and really improves the cockpit over the old and thick plastic parts of the kit. Also, a friend of mine is lending me a hand in designing some seatbelt buckles for this build, he has amazing skills. iLL need all this in 1/48 PLEASE!!! Pure magic!!

Moixmodels Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 Well, Finally all the finishing touches to the cockpit... UV Resin to simulate the glass on the instrument bezels, seatbelts, and pilot seats glued in place. I made the seatbelts using thin masking tape and painted them with gray blue Vallejo model air paint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moixmodels Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 Of course, I didn't forget the first aid kits, I painted them and glued them in place, now I'm ready to close the fuselage. Finally... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
