Bits bought to my specs Dougie, the optics will be cut to size before final assembly, just got to figure out how it will all fit lol.

UPDATE:


This is going slower than I thought, simple kit but seems to take forever lol.


So, I have painted the pilot-then repainted him (thanks to Al for some advice) I hate figure painting...


The interior has been started and test fit for items.


The outer skin has been primed, aluminium paint applied in places then salted and overcoated-knocked back. It has had a coat of matt varnish once all dried and decalled it will be weathered further and, hopefully get a more dull look.

UPDATE:


Slow going, but making good progress.


What's been done: The body has had a colour of olive drab, weathered and sealed. The nose has been coated in satin black.


I have added black leather look cloth on the seat and rear wall curtains-looks much better. The front radio rack has been fitted but is not fastened in, need to remove it to get the fibre optics up to the instrument panel. The instrument panels have been drilled awaiting the optics.


Exhaust has had be drilled to get the small flashing red light to fit through...this was a faf. The large light is orange and that has had to have the floor drilled so I can get the bulb and wiring up into the cabin.


Not pictured is the blades, all painted although I broke a piece...found it so that is too reattach. That's it for now.

Looking good

Looks great Si! I've often wondered what these kits are like with an eye to doing a " post-apocalyptic " version - kinda Mad Max in the air!

They are okay Patrick, no major headaches-only issues are made by me in adapting a kit to accept other bits. Great scope for adding and painting various schemes-go on, should look awesome.
