Taiidan Tomcat's CCCP entry

Taiidantomcat · January 28, 2010, 08:58:28 AM

Hey folks, with school and other stuff my life has become pretty busy but today is the first day I have "off" and after looking forward to this GB for quite some time. I am starting my GB entry with this picture. It is snowing in New Mexico and I remember Mossie mentioning that he thought the sand and snow combo was fascinating so i thought i would get a pic. ( Hope rocks and dead grass, are desert-like enough!) I hope to work on my entry which is previously started from a couple years ago. (Interior put together, but nothing painted) I wanted to enter yet another Tomcat but the kit I will enter has been an orphan with no plan for sometime, so I came up with something I feel is pretty different

Hope you enjoy the ride!

Yeah, sand tones with white would look pretty good! This was my take on it:

Although I get the feeling you're going for something completely different!

I like at already, simply because you used CCCP in the thread title.

Kamov Huey A very basic mock up. Life is going to be very busy for the next 6 weeks (class, work, class, work, repeat) but I wanted to put more up here. Have a scheme picked out and am hoping to find time here and there to get to that point

comments/ recommendations are appreciated of course.

Mmm, Huey....seems like a good idea....

Looking suitably Sovet. I take it we're going to see contra-rotation?

Caveman · February 18, 2010, 01:46:48 AM

coaxial or inter-meshing?

Taiidantomcat · February 18, 2010, 08:10:22 AM

Co-axial... I do have another Huey in the stash so inter-meshing might still happen at a later date

Mossie · February 18, 2010, 08:14:44 AM

Looks not unlike a chunky Kamov Ka-18, I like it!

Caveman · February 18, 2010, 09:18:43 AM

cool, i prefer inter meshing to a coax setup. Im a simple bloke and the controls for coaxial rotors just confuse me

I like the concept and I'm looking forward to your next update after you get done acing all your classes!

Like the look of this one. Good luck with everything on your schedule; hope you get time to progress this further.

Unfortunately I lost the forward hinged cabin doors for this so I had to cut 1/48 blackhawk doors and add styrene armor to fill the gap. Painted the interior with a base of baby blue this afternoon hopefully more pics and progress soon. Thanks for the support and understanding (where does the Time go?!?)
