Recommended Posts

Greetings everyone.
This assembly took place in 2008 and finished in 2009.
The step-by-step is recorded and so I will post it here to show how it was and leave as an idea for those who now venturing into this model.
Enjoy!

Stunning work, as always! :thumbsup:

How did you produce the IP? Is this a "photo print"?

I've recently grokked what I can accomplish using GIMP and the local photo printer (a.k.a., Costco).

Thanks for the comment!

I do the design (not pictured) for the COREL DRAW 11 I have program.

After you print on plain paper using a laser printer.

Cut out, lap on the part of the original panel (previously sanded) and then apply transparent glue in instruments to create the glass relief from these.

ok?

Great job. That amount of work on such an old kit is insane.

Now I may have to look for a H-19 at our contest in September.

I have only seen one real H-19, it was sitting in a parking lot behind a building at Lackland A.F.B. when I was attending the course for the Security Police. I foundit by accident and didn't have a camera.
