I thought I was done, nope, this area is giving me problems, I am going to have to give it another layer of filler, then let it dry for a day, sand, then primer and let it sit for a day to sand again. Frustrating.

While filler is drying, I’m trying to finish up all subassemblies, finishing up the engine, tires, rotors, etc. I’m also trying to bend some droop into the blades, have them sitting in a bent position right now, going to release them in the morning and see if a little stays in. I’m only looking for a little droop. I don’t want to put any heat to them.

I did some more assembly work while the filler is drying on the body.

i decided to scratch build a gearbox assy so you won’t see just a blank plate through the top opening, I used some spare parts and sprues for a little pizazz. I also started painting the main and tail rotors. And finally drilled 36 holes for the hydraulic lines on the main rotor. Unfortunately, this has decimated my drill bits, so I’m going to have to find more.
