Dude those little handles look bad ass! I see we got left with bits of foam in there Did you not coat it in beeswax first?

[Airwolfie]

No I didn't as I already did it. But it won't matter, you won't see any of it from the outside

He does doesn't he!!? LOL

Thanks Zee, I THINK we are going with Marine grey and possibly a light blue on the top, or maybe just grey. I know, boring, but that's how they are!

Someones got to keep him on his toes!
As for paint schemes a cross between this battlefield-3-cobra-8-620x348.jpg

and this


In reality, it'll probably sit in primer and unpainted for a few years before I get around to painting

Yeah I guess so!

As for painting, you will have it painted before you take hold of it! As long as you get that airbrush!!

Slowly carrying on with the exhausts. It takes time as I have to do a little, let the glue set overnight, otherwise they lose their shape and I can't get them in the port. I need to be able to still get them out so I can paint them. Once the heli is all done I will glue them in place. This is part four!










Those frames look like it won't take long to do, well so I thought!! Took me almost four hours!! Cutting 24 sides the same took a lot longer than I was anticipating!!!

[PKNEC]

Looking very nice as usual
keep up the goodwork it's awesome

[Sao]

Holy cow those exhausts are going to look awesome! Yeah I have plans a foot to get an airbrush still researching compressors
