1/32 EC-135 Gunship

[Dizzyfugu]

I was rather excited by the 1:32 scale of the Boeing...

hahahaha - I'd need my own warehouse for a 32nd Boeing!

Put a nice little ion cannon in the nose and you'd have a gunship that could take on a Star Destroyer.

Cheers,

Wingspan 4ft 3inches (1.29M)
Length 4ft 1inch (1.24M)

OUCH!

That is going to take a LOT of storage space.

Yes, but you could store a lot of your other models inside it..........

Love that idea !

Greetings everyone

Life ponders on and so does this build. It's getting near the finish line now. The paint's on and I've started to weather it to look like a used bird - not a hangar queen. I'm using African Dust and I'm not entirely sure I like it. I may yet spray over it
I"m about to mask off the black window surrounds and have that all nice neat and tidy, then I'll find some decals to add to it, put the weapons on it and she's done
I'm quite happy with how it looks right now - much more menacing than the 635 that was pictured on display The pics below are before the pigments went on - sorry, camera ran out of battery











Well, that's it for now. Next post should be the finished item

Thanks for looking

Looks good here, too.

[Captain Canada]

Very nice. The paint so far makes it look like the real thing !

Well, I'm calling this one done (well, pending a couple of paint touch ups but they are minor). This has not been the easiest kit to put together - bad fit issues a plenty here. The main rotor section is just a PITA to put together and would be well suited to someone who builds helo's on a regular basis and know what they're doing. I am just not one of those people.....

It looks more or less how I imagined it would. The post shading I did has blended in more with the semi-gloss clear coat and is not so noticeable, which in my opinion is more real than glaringly obvious shading (one thing that is beginning to irk me somewhat lately are over shaded panels - they just do not look like that in real life and if they do, the paint work on a model needs to be kept in scale - not that I am perfect in that area mind you)

Well, tell me what you think - good or bad - I don't mind























Well, that's it for this one. I have made a start on my next project - the 1/32 Trumpeter SU-27! I was thinking of posting a WIP of this but I think there are enough Flanker builds going on so not sure I will.

Anyway, as always, thanks for stopping by an having a look

See you soon

Excellent work! Love the idea of the EC-135 as a gunship.

[Old Wombat]

It certainly looks the part.

[NARSES2]

Come out very well 

[Captain Canada]

Very nice. I really like the extras you've put on this one. It sure does look the part. Looks like a SOC bird to me !

Nicely menacing
