As soon as I finish one of my 3 current projects (2 of them ar nearly done) I will start with this little helicopter.

Nicolas
The build startet this weekend.

Nicolas
As I am covid positive (fortunately only with very mild syntomas) I had some time to build again today. So far I am positively surprised by the accuracy of fit. There are no locator pins, but I can now click the fuselage and cockpit together and even the tail section holds without glue.

Very nice painting job so far 👍

Alejandro Caballero
Thank you! Now it's time for weathering!

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work so far on this iconic subject.

Clement
Very nice work, the Spanish camouflage looks amazing on the Mirage F1

Luc B
fantastique! 👍

Alejandro Caballero
Thank you all!

Ronan
Very nice paint job 👍

Trez Mackenzie
The crew have bailed out. But they both shut the canopy before leaping away. Both very considerate and daring!

Sebastian Meyner
Well done mate! Love the paint scheme and presentation 👌

@Trez: ....instead of ranting, build it and come up with your own innovative way of presenting it

Neuling
Very appealing paintwork and weathering

Alexander Grivonev
Fantastic 👍 I really like the scheme. Good execution and presentation!

Alan G
Very nice and innovative build. Really like the paint scheme. Could i ask where you found the paint scheme or is it a fictional one?

Trez Mackenzie
Awesome build my friend🤩 Don't let the insincere comments get you down. Brush aside those shills! I've seen this paint scheme on many publications so you have done your research! You rock!

RoguePlastic
Thanks for all the comment!

@Trez: I would love to have crews for my planes, but it's rare. Border Model doesn't give you one with this kit just a standing Rudel as extra and in general it's quite rare to get pilots and gunners. But I do like my planes in flight, so I rather have them in flight without crew, than on the ground. As I would call it "the sitting duck position".

@Alan G: It's a scheme found on the old 1/72 Matchbox kit. I did build that when I was a kid and I just felt like redoing it with this one.

RoguePlastic
@Trez: No offense taken.

Trez Mackenzie
@RoguePlastic: No offence given.

This is the problem with having 1/35 scale - there are very few if any seated pilots! So I can see why you have resorted to "the flying turkey pose". Nothing wrong with artistic flair👍

Alan G
Thanks for replying regarding the paint scheme. I'll have to try and find the unit and a picture of it now. I'd like to have a bash at doing this.

Trez Mackenzie
Well, don't let anyone stop you! Maybe you can get the matchbox kit for reference?

RoguePlastic
@Alan G: The paint scheme on the Matchbox kit is for a D3 version, so this build of mine is really an "artistic flare" as others would say. I haven't seen any images of this kind of camo on a G1/G2.
The reference on the Matchbox kit is JU 87/D3. 1/St.G2. "Immelmann" Russian Front 1943/44, with the id T6+BH.
Hope this helps finding it.

Rui S
Nice work 👍

Trez Mackenzie
This pant scheme never existed but it's a great what if pilotless build!

But most kits are modelled sitting on an airfield - especially when there is no one flying it!

RoguePlastic
@Trez Mackenzie
Or was never photographed. We have no clue what camo schemas the ground crew applied on each and every airplane. Especially washable white, which we all know was just temporary.
The underlying camo paint is the default one though. So that existed.
Granted, the identification number is completely fabricated and has been applied wrong anyway. as the right side should've been the other way around and not mirrored.

On the other hand, I am tired to see yet another Rudel Stuka, so I did this.
It's like getting a flaming skull tattoo. You think you get something unique and then you see 10 other people having the same skull on the street.

Soeren R.
Really nice build!

What do you think about the kit?

Doubtingmango
If I could build a kit that well I would not feel compelled to apologize or explain away anything. Love the camo scheme and presentation. Any chance we could get some close-up pics of the interior?

CaptGPF
Lovely build! The camo is fantastic!

RoguePlastic
@Soeren R.
Thank you!
The outside is gorgeous with all the rivet detail and the fit is almost perfect.
The inside is lackluster. No harnesses, the control stick is completely wrong, the rear turret is not that great either. The instructions are vague, no color call outs, No decal instructions. Overall bad instructions. But this is something I noticed with Border Model kits. The things they do well, they do it really good. The things they miss or do bad, they are really bad.
So overall I would say it's a strong middle. The good parts are exceptional, but the bad parts do weigh it down. If you're going to build it, I would recommend doing research on it and for decal positions I recommend using other kit instructions, like the Trumpeter 1/24 one.

@Doubtingmango
Thank you! Your kits look great as well!
Sadly the cockpit is all closed up, but you can check out the build videos of it on my YouTube channel about the build if you want to see the insides, the last one should be up soon as well.

@CaptGPF
Thank you!

David Taylor
Nice.

Kyle DeHart
Oh Daniel. How I do love these Escorts.

Michael Kohl
Now, that is a change of subject. Anxious to see what you make out of it. 🙂

Mark Sherwood
This will be interesting. I'm in.

István Szücs
So, when the aircraft builder makes a car. I'm curious!

David Taylor
This is a departure for you Daniel.

bughunter
I'm in too. Is there a special reason to exactly this one?

Martin Oostrom
Let's see how this one turns out. IJN Green with red dots?

Jv
Sure to follow

Bozzer
I'd love to see a regular version of this, with the rusted wheel arches and dented bumpers. Back in the late 70's, early 80's, this car was the most popular choice, for the teenage Brit. They needed more bodywork, than Cher!

Martin Oostrom
The ScaleProduction extras are more expensive than the Italeri kit itself!

DerMattes
Interesting, taking a seat 🙂

Bozzer
And the details start. 🙂

Daniel Klink
Hi and welcome Mates thank you for your interest and ebcouraging words👍👍
After sanding and adding lightgrey primer the first coat of gloss coalblack added

Munkyslut
I'm in 👍

István Szücs
Nice shine!

Daniel Klink
Hi Munkyslut and Istvan!
Welcome and thanks! Iam really curious about how the decals will work😉

David Taylor
Nice Daniel.Thought the rear leaf springs would have had a little bit more bend.Looks as though they are under load.

Bozzer
From memory, David, the rear end of the escort, was always a bit low, and definitely sloppy? But maybe these rally versions had slightly uprated suspension, causing the front to look a tad higher? I certainly remember mine fishtail a few times, but back in them days, I drove it, like I'd stole it! I nearly had my hands on a MK1 Mexico, once. No engine, but the body was perfect. Loved those flared arches. It even had the roll cage! I'd dread to think, how much that would be now? It was £100 at the time 😮

David Taylor
Way back when as an apprentice we had half a dozen ex Police Escorts to play with at college.

Daniel Klink
Hi Mates thanks for the Hints and shared memories with this type. . Like that on the pic? Remember the front spoiler still to come!

Bozzer
Daniel, that stance looks pretty much correct, from my memory? I'm sure that Munky would have something to add?
However, I'm loving how this build is coming along, and it brings back so many memories. Excellent work buddy, and may the decals gods, shine in your favour 100%

Munkyslut
Hi Daniel, yep Boz is pretty much bang on the money there……. the solid rear axles on Mk1 & Mk2 Escorts had very stiff multilleaf competition springs with the bias toward rear weight distribution to maximise traction.
That coupled with the extra travel of the front coil springs & struts necessary to cope with intense terrain gives that classic arse down, nose up stance that looks so Kool 😎

George Williams
Love those wheels.

Kyle DeHart
Lovely Daniel. Looking great.

Daniel Klink
Hi Mates, thank you very much for the advices and your warm words👍
Declas work quite good so far!

Kyle DeHart
Oh yeah. That's looking really great!

Bozzer
Phenomenal!
Those decals have transformed the whole car!
I'm glad that I didn't miss this build 👍

Martin Oostrom
Great job there Daniel. the white and blues really pop on the black.

Roberto Rocat
Ah! Beautiful! I'm following 👍

Daniel Klink
Hi mates thanky you and i really appreciate that you like my Decal jon👍
Hi and welcome Roberto! Cool that you found this mate😉

Spanjaard
looking really good Daniel!

BAT21
Nice to see you back at the craft table 👍

Daniel Klink
Thank you very much Jens! But this probably will be my last built! A few bits still missing!
My State of Health and the Prognosis is getting worse! It is time to say so long as long as i am able to!
It has been an honor to be a part of this Great community and as long as i am able to i will participate!
Best regards and thanks again to all commenting and attending to my projects!

Alec K
Daniel, I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you mate.

Martin Oostrom
Wait! What? Why?
Goodbyes are too hard Daniel.

Daniel Klink
Hi mates, thanks! @Martin GBS

Mark Sherwood
I'm sorry to hear that Daniel. Your builds and dioramas were something to look forward to. I wish you well, as No 6 use to say "Be seeing you" 🤘🥸🤟🥸👍🥸🖖

Daniel Klink
Thank you all so much Mates...
There is a little silver lining at the horizon...some of the nerve structures starts to regenerate..
Ans this ones finished!

István Szücs
Beautiful result!

Martin Oostrom
A marvellous result.
Let's hope that silver lining evolves into a full sunshine 🤞🏻

Neuling
A very beautiful model. Carry on, Daniel!

Alec K
Indeed, and GREAT NEWS!

J35J
Great build Daniel! Keep up the good work!

BAT21
Congratulations on the great result 👍

David Taylor
Not into cars myself but looks great.

Jan Peters
Very cool car and dito model😎

Ian Doody
Have spent today painting up my pilot "Jecto Rond" for my AMT Rogue Squadron X-Wing T-65c. Just a quick basic paint job, as I have a stinking cold, otherwise it he would be a lot better.

Ian Doody
I know exactly what I'm doing, no advice is necessary thank you.
My patience was wearing very thin today thanks to running sinuses, watery eyes, constant sneezing, coughing, Summer colds suck.

Gareth Lloyd
Ooooh, nice. I'll follow along with this one 👀. Planning to build my MPC one as a Blue Squadron X-Wing (got some 1/48 after market decals on the way). Interested to see what you do with yours 🙂

Ian Doody
Hey Gareth, the X-Wing is closer to 1/43, I'm either doing mine Green, Purple, or blue.
