IME cracked or wrinkled transfers and other needs for sanding can sometimes lead to weathering...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I got lucky and managed to restore the decal to a point that i can live with it without some "concealment weathering" so, some light weathering will do for this one... ;)
And speaking of the Cobra, it's almost done, just have to spray a flat clear coat on everything, assemble the weapons and smaller bits, attach and paints navigation lights. The rotors will be the last parts to go on and then i can remove the canopy masks to call it done. :mellow:

Well, this one's mostly done, just have to glue one small clear bit and paint a couple of lights and finally i'll remove the canopy masks and attach the main rotor as the last step of the build to prevent any accidents while removing the masks...
I'll have to set up a jig of some sort to hold the main rotor in position while the glue dries but shouldn't be too much of a hassle to get done properly.
I'm hoping that i can get that done today after work and then take some beauty shots to call it done. :mellow:

Yesterday i got home too beat from work to sit at the bench so, after dinner i chose to watch a doc and fell asleep in the process... :banghead:
Got up at 4.30 a.m. and was feeling fresh so, had a late night/ early morning session and got the Cobra finished.
I'll try to set up the lights and background when i get home from work today for some pics of it alone and with the Huey and the Cayuse beside it
