Airwolf 50

[jimbob]

Yeah Mark - where's the pics! I hope he hasnt put everything off cos he can't match the pink right!

[ChrisB]

i wanna see her,,,Piccies pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase

In Grey

[Mark J]

Oh ok guys, as seen as I can see your 'slightly' interested in seeing some piccies



Still got the exhaust stuff to do and the details (and tidy up a few places where the masking tape lifted a bit when I was spraying )

All been well, it will be with Wayne tomorrow evening, so then hes got the rest of the week to get it nice n shiney.

Mark.

Ps. again, sorry for the delays, but this self employed lark is more work than expected (got to earn a crust so I can enjoy the hobbies like this etc)

[jimbob]

And its not pink! Phew

Can't wait to see her in the flesh... Nice looking job so far Mark

Bet your glad I'm going to put a proper heli in her too! None of the electric nonsense for me :S

(Did you know Raptor50Luvver wants his in Pink?)

[Mark J]

hehe yeah, just cant beat the smell of the real fuel (ahhhhhh magnum lol! even though model teknics smells the best in my opinion, but I dont use it, worst has got to be the cool power, smells like detergent of sorts)

Mark.

[ChrisB]

Bah

I love the smell of Magnum in my pod n boom 3d models but its totally unconvincing in a scale

A T rex 600 doing a slow spool up and spool down sounds really turbine like

Oh and no smoke trail,messy inside of fuselage after a while,changing glow plugs,wiping gunk off exterior after flying,,i used to have a scale Vario Airwolf and it sounded unrealistic,i have still got a bit of video of me flying it about 3 years ago

I have done the nitro way and i know the aggro,,leccy for me now

[jimbob]

You know, turbines smoke too

Looking good though Mark - can't wait to see it all together and comlete

You getting jealous yet Luvver??

[Mark J]

Yeah, just need to wait for the Mr's to get home from shopping so then can go to my little den at the bottom of the garden to get it done! (few bits here n there that need a slight sanding and respraying, but nothing major, then can get the exhausts sorted and the finer details then get it to Wayne.)

So did you want the yellow for thge inner bits we said about? as will get those done at the end as dont want to end up putting the wrong colour on for you (ie pink lol!!!!)

[jimbob]

Yeah - yellow I think would look cool - or Red? I was thinking it would be good in light grey for the 'inside' metalwork with a red or yellow line around the perimeter - dya know what I mean?

Failing that - I'll leave it up to you and your artistic prowess!

NO PINK - save it for the electric kid!

[ChrisB]

Ah,,you win ya tart

If i use a crappy Lipo i may be able to get the sound and the smoke effect right

[Mark J]

Ok guys, heres the pics of it painted (just got to finish off the yellow/red inner bits on the pod parts, but all the rest is done (dam cold out back today lol!)

First 2 without the flash (looks black)
Second 2 with flash (can see its really grey)

[demonjets]

No good mark its not pink. Do it again

[Mark J]

DAM this colour blindness, I had really thought id done it pink with both Jimbob and raptorluvver asking specifically for shocking pink!

Ah well, back to the shed for me then! lol

[jimbob]

WOW - looks great Mark thanks

I like the door handles etc - gives it a little bit of interest...

No pink in sight - thats good, cos you'll need all your pink paint soon

So whats the timescale for its return? Sometime this week?? Yippee!!!!

[Nutz]

Can I test fly it next week

I want to pracrice my piro flipping
