MHRD Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Great build Maurizio! You mentioned the decals being too orange. I live in DC and have Jayhawks flying around all the time. It appears to be red-orange to me. If you are looking at photos, it will appear to appear redder than it actually is in person much like the red on Ferrari's Formula 1 cars appears darker in photos than in person. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maurizio Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 thanks mates for your kind words! Decals are just a little bit orange but their are very very well made and I'll use them. cheers maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maurizio Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Due to a flu I'm at home and not at work.... so I can proceed with the building of the Jayhawk. this afternoon I completed the nose. The radome is coming from a S-3 Viking flir and some stratchbuildings. I applied a coat of Future to the nose since I would fill all the small holes present in the putty work.

PapaSmurf630 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 So you cover the area in future before filling? Any reason for this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maurizio Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hi Jake, I applied a coat of Future AFTER the putty has been filled in order to check for some holes before painting. the Future will fill all micro holes. since I used a not-for-plastic putty, the putty was non so fine and for this reason I painted in black the radome in order to see some micro holes. After that I used again my files and than i applied the Future. Cheers Maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maurizio Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Thanks friends for your comments! ...we are joking but...well.. it is correct....if you stay at home due to a flu....it could be a nice opportunity to modelling more than a normal situation.... consider also that my personal doctor is also a modeller so when he reach me at home for my flu. we talk about modelling for more than an hour.... Talking about Jayhawk: Here are some more pics of the heli. Completed nose and landing gear (landing gear also in helis talking?). Next step: painting rotors and making doors. cheers Maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
