Thanks everyone!
Pulled the canopy mask off last night. Looks pretty good. I'm going to finish the weapons tonight and figure out how to mask off the tiny little stripes on the tail rotor.

I got out the Testors red and a tiny brush and it came out very nice. I used UV resin to make two dome shaped pieces to cover the intakes. I painted them red at the same time. Pics will be up soon.

I think I finished something! First the Junkyard Dog and now this. I'm on a roll! I should decal the Starviggen and the Fire Spotter too. It's supposed to rain tomorrow. We'll see. Now for the pics as promised.







One thing for sure, this shade of green shows every speck of dust. It doesn't help when I have dust on my fingertips. At least the matte coat was dry and it wiped off.



I made the little domes with UV resin. I took one of my previous silicone molds and placed drops of UV resin and hit it with the UV flashlight. Not as easy as it sounds as I had a heck of a time getting two alike. I still ended up sanding one a little bit to round it off.







I meant to make a dome over the main rotor hub too. Tomorrow!

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That's really REALLY good! Not only modelled well, but the whole idea if that mix of fuselages works extremely well.  :thumbsup:  :bow:  :drink:  :cheers:  :party:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

- 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.
