Thanks guys

Going back to work Monday so pushing to finish the first part of the engine wiring work.

if only someone would make a jeep and trailer (and a matress) in 1/32 scale, Id have my dio.

Weathering is about done. The engine won't be sticking out this much. Still need to apply a super diluted black tone and make everything flat. I will loose some of the chipping effects in the process.

thats a big surgery project.

impressive. your engine work is superb

Not fan of german planes but this looks like an amazing start. Engine work is topnotch. I dig the cockpit decals. How were they to work with?

Amazing start. I love the mossie

First wash.

Thanks Pete i made a mistake I used the wrong chromate green, this is one is a bit more on the yellow side ( I did not check my color ref)and that will affect the weathering. Won't repaint it.

Beginning of engine area painting.

Blade fold brackets are 99%done I just need to add the straps at the bottom. The brackets were a pain in the A$@ to do, I had to eyeball the angle. I now need to add the cockpit. oliver

Now I neee to make everything fit.

Thanks Pete. update on bladefold brackets.

Hi I ordered the blade folding brackets from Scalewarship about a month but i am being told that UK mail was hacked so i am still waiting for delivery. I am trying to duplicate it with styrene since i may never receive it. Will post when its done. Oliver

Thanks Peter its time to close this one up. Glad to hear u like it.

I am trying to add most of the details before I paint. It's getting tricky to handle.

My nose conversion can be purchased at Reedoak figures. Adriatic is not responding to my email either.

The steps I was planning to add to the helo are incorrect for the H34, this was pointed out to me at my club meeting. I made the correct steps.

I am trying to get everything together in order to go to my club meeting tomorrow. There are so many parts no glued down, I am afraid to break things during transport so I am debating if I go or not. I added the cargo hook at the bottom today(no done yet).

this is amazing. It looks like a museum piece. Stunning model.

Took a bit of work to make those blades straight.

Happy New year. Worked on the main rotor and the folding mechanism. I am trying to make the blades straight since they come with the droop with the kit. I tried Hot water(didn't work), I tried with the blow dryer twice and there is a slight bend still. I inserted brass rods in the main rotor first so I don't have to fight the blades and the angle when I install the blade holder brackets

Many update lately. worked and finished tail rotor. It was a pain in the A@$. Parts supplies in the kit were just plain awful so I improvised a bit.

Its so starting to look the part. Nice work on the decals. How dirty(weathered) is this going to be?. Pete, time to come to the dark side and build a helicopter....LOL
