good build guys and mine looks good in the box sitting on the shelf.still dont know if im going huey or black hawk

Still here!
Finishing up the cockpit on my OOB 1/32 Apache build.
I never thought building straight box stock would be so tough! My AMS is really suffering, lol.
Pics soon I swear.

OK I'm calling this one done.

Cierva W.11 Airhorse

nice finish and congrats make sure you post in gallery

Very nice build, Luciano. A figuration of rotors you dont see everyday

Thanks for participating

Thanks guy's,
Although this one is done I'll still try and get the Seahawk finished as that was the entry I started first.

Jesper I agree a very unusual design, only two where built of which one crashed but others (bigger) were planned powered by twin Merlins.

Here are a couple more in-progress photos of the PKZ-2 that I am building for this campaign.





I added the support cables that I made out of stretched sprue and got a base coat of dark grey on it. Now on to the more detailed painting.

Thanks,
Randy

My air compressor is busted. Hopefully I can get it repaired in a timely fashion and get back on my Apache. I was making ok progress.

I think it's about time I provided some updates on my AH-1E Cobra Gunship.

I've gone from this bare white cockpit:



To this:

all "major assembly is complete now. Base coat applied to airframe:

weathering and color modulation started on stub wings and tail plane.

There are 4 greens on those parts...wishing I had an airbrush about now.
My goal was to stay OOB, I've caved in the following places:
Added a first aid kit:

Added a Map:

Opened up the tail rotor inlet:


The rest of the inprogress shots are here:

weathering is in full swing now:






Added some grey on a suggestion from CobraHistorian, glad I did. Once I add the sand and abit more geens this will look right.

Can't wait to see the fruits of your labor

finished the massive weathering job today, and got started on final assembly.

Teaser shots for now!







Will have it wrapped up this week.

Now that has been sitting in the desert good job sir the effect is good

calling this one done!





I'll do a full shoot next week on my days off.

Wow! Great looking whirlybird there Shawn! Now give her a bath! Russell

Good job sir don't forget to post in the gallery and thank you for being part of my campaign

Justin, I have had awful luck posting any of my previous builds to the gallery.
I will give it a try this weekend.

If you have any issues drop us a PM and I'll look into it for you

thank you Allan, I'm guessing user error but ya never know.

Just a photo of a couple of the completed sub-assemblies. The forward left window was filled in to make this correct for the SH-3D that I am building. The windows in the kit were badly scratched, so the next step is to try and clear them before mating the fuselage.

Tom

is that a sea king sir?

Sorry for the poor post, yes. 1/48 Hasegawa Sea King. Shown are the resin sponsons which are smaller than those that came with the kit. They are correct for the version I have decals for, which is the squadron which picked up the astronauts in the Pacific.

Tom

Shawn, great build and nice finish, I must admit I was a bit puzzled as to where your paint was going but once put together it looks like a war weary whirlybird.
Great finish.

Tom, Nice going with the Seaking so far.

thank you Luciano, there was a time during the finish that I too wondered where it was going...
just had to stick to the vision
