        Nice detail going on there Francesco. I'm confused about the wires and where they will go but will watch to find out.

          Thanks Joe.

          Couldn't live with kit's pitch arms so I scratched arm and links (yep, all 7). Here's an anticipation:

                Crikey, that looks like something out of a fishing tackle box.

                  thanks Joe!

                  In the meanwhile I decided that last task on the head was to add those "pistons" very visible in the pic above. So with some platicard I did 7 of this

                  [ATTACH]79374.IPB[/ATTACH]


                  ... and glued them to the head more or less like this

                  [ATTACH]79375.IPB[/ATTACH]


                  Now I have to fill some hole in the plastic and complete the painting (blade root already done and chipped).

                            It looks that for some reason some salt dropped over my rotor.

                            Somehow I like the effect but it looks too strong, especially on the head cover, and perhaps a little out of scale, so I'm thinking to fade it a bit. Suggestions?

                            Here's the real one as reference:
