Hello friends,
here is my last build of Bell 206B use at BG Air Force.
It was old revell 1/32 kit, but with a lot of rework and scratch-build, the final result is pretty much like the 1/1 machine:












Cheers guys

Super paint job and presentation!

Can you share what technique was used to tint the glass parts.

Cheers,

Hi Joe
I've used Alclad II Armored glass:

over inside part of glasses.
Spray it with the AB, after week for drying, I've polished with
3M compound
Cheers

Great job. The old Revell kit can come out very nicely with a little work.

Congratulations for the excellent work
I have a Revel 1/32 kit of the Bell 206 Jet Ranger and I saw on the web your Bulgarian Air Force 206B 01.
Could you kindly send me some pictures of the underside and landing skids of your model?
I'm sure you reworked it very much and I would like do the same on my kit.
Do you have photographs of the wip? it would be interesting to see them.
Thank you very much. Best regards.
