Fujimi/Italeri MH-53J 1/72


Recommended Posts

Hello Juanjo,

A fantastic job you did, painting and all .... :cheers:

I'm planning to use the same Euro scheme on my Phantom: the vivid green and a dark one, and a dark grey.

What paints (make and ref. numbers) did you use for this scheme?

Regards,

Flores

Is the link to the first part of your build still available? The link is dead. I'm hoping to post reference to your work in a review if the Cobra Co. 1/48 sets, since we're trying to let the modeler know all of his/her options. You'v done everything that Tom Lore and I came up with some years ago, and actually built it. :worship:

I'm preparing a complete article on the building for Modeler Airplane International so perhaps you would like to refer the guys to that article. Anyway I would ask you please to wait until the article is printed just to avoid copyright problems that would force me to delete all the pics in the posts :worship:

Yes, this is the scheme I'm going to use: Dark and Sinister!

With the FS references it is easy to look for the proper paints.

Thanks!

Well I know I know I promised to wait until the model will be finished but just cant wait to show you the finished fuselage... The cockpit side windows were really "fun" to put in place... :D

Hope you like this update.

Wow! That looks fantastic! And I like how it clean too, like a brand new chopper. Easily one of the best models I've ever seen!

Thanks a lot friends!

About the photo setup... well, a bit of practice and about 1000W of light make miracles...

About the article... Well as I mentioned earlier, I'm working in a full article on the building for Modeler Airplane International so I'm afraid there would not be an article for ARC, at least for now.. May be in the future. For the same reason I can't post bigger pics, sorry...

PAVE LOW LEADS!

Well mates! Incredible but true. I've finished the Pave Low. A whole year invested in this project and really don't know how many hours but I think the subject really worth the effort. I love Pave Lows. Mostly after reading at mh-53pavelow.com that these beautiful beasts will be shutdown in 2007-2008.

However, this model can't be finished without express my grateful to all of you that had encouraged me with your "good vibrations" and always kind coments on my progresses. Thank you very much friends! :blink:

Well and now the pics... :worship: this is about that nope?
