Looking very good Barry

I have done a panel line wash. These are very shallow and fine, does not take a wash as well as some do.





I will be applying several mist coats of
Semi-Matt varnish next before doing some dry brushing and other weathering. But, I need to leave lots of time for the enamel wash to dry and cure so it probably won’t be until tomorrow.

Looks good Barry.....Love the Camo style that was employed on these choppers. Rick H.

I have done several mist coats of a semi-matt varnish. I will leave it at that on the rotors but will,once it has hardened, spray another mist coat of matt varnish over the main airframe. I want a slightly different sheen on different areas. This is another way to slightly modulate the effect and create more interest. Not a big difference but it does help improve the overall look.

I am losing the plot…..


I forgot it was there…..

So, can I pop the canopy or not?

Nothing to lose……

We shall see.

Good luck.....

Done..

It did not go back quite as perfectly as it was but it’s fine. There is a little damage to repair including a small breakage that I spotted on the photo that a piece of stretched sprue can solve.

All finished.

A nice kit and a quick build with no major issues. Recommended.

One quick pic - I will post a completed thread.
