Hello all!

I´m committed to finishing all the "delayed" projects around...

Next in line is this kit which has been lurking around the bench for five years now.

The mistakes made on it are huge and in a big number, ranging from over-speed on the construction phase wich resulted on poor alignment of a lot of parts, and poor decisions on the sequence of the build, that together with two house moves already killed the rotor and a lot of other bits...
Here are some pics of how it is now:











Let´s see what can i do to save this one...

My best regards!

I commend you for resolving to finish it.
If I only had a dollar for every unfinished kit...
Anyway there should be an official campaign called "Finish the unfinished!"

Hello all!

Here are some pics of the progress made so far...

The cockpit a little overdone, but that´s on purpose because i´ll close the canopy;





The Rotor rebuilt and some smaller pieces right on the way:





2º Round of priming and puttying...



My best regards!

Nice! Looks like a mask with some tac-pieces. You managed it to keep in single shadow. Not easy. Nice! Great job so far!

I really like the camouflage pattern. Nice paint job! Does this pattern refer to an original helicopter or is it freely choosen?

Servus,

Sebastian
