shark64 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark64 Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
