Peterpools Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 Oliver OH NO! Looking at the photographs, is it how the fuselage come together ?Hope you can figure it out and do the corrections without too much trouble. Keep 'em comin Peter 3
shark64 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Posted January 10, 2022 The floor above the cabin is warped(i didnt see it earlier) and the two rods to the tower are too high but the major issue is i cut the end the roof and it created a huge gap in the back(I had followed info from someones build on a modeling magazine). 1 2
Peterpools Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Oliver Keeping my fingers crossed you will be able to fix everything without major surgery to the incredible work you have done. Just do not know what to saw Keep ‘em comin Peter 1
HubertB Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Didn’t the guy behind Adriatic models mention that « the deck » - I assume this is actually the cabin ceiling - was represented too low by almost 7 mm by Fly ? Hubert 2

Hubert i had built this before he mentioned it but its not a height thing. I believe my cabin is warped for some reason. I just need to put little plastic tabs to make things straight. 4
Peterpools Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Oliver Fingers crossed your fix works and then all is well. Keep 'em comin Peter 2
shark64 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Posted January 24, 2022 In order to close up the fuselage I need to install the windows and paint around them and since its gonna be an Orange helicopter i need to do that first. International Orange was a hard color to find so I bought a bunch of orange color paints in order to study how it goes down on the fuselage as well was color combination for weathering and shading...Orange is tricky, i did nt have the right orange until....Someone mentioned to me MRP paints carrying the International Orange. Amazing product but a bit pricy. Oliver 3 1
harv Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Can't wait to see it come together. And thanks for all your help on mine.....harv 2
shark64 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Posted January 24, 2022 here are a few photos of the orange study. I also purchased a truck in 1/32 for the engine diorama. Its gonna a huge dio for sure. I am thinking maybe 2 more years of work on this. 8
