Terrific job with attention to detail down to the color codes on the main rotor hub parts. Excelent 👍

Hi Ronan,
I am always impressed when I look at your Helicopter models!
They are always built very clean, and your style of texturing of these small models is very impressive.
You have a very nice method, to improve the contours of your models!
Would you tell more about this model? I was looking for a WIP threat but could n`t find something.......

Thank you for congratulations.
I use spanish modellers painting techniques learnt in the J.m Villalba books.
The model is the Italeri AS-532 1/72 , and i added some scratch details like the new tail boom, exhausts, chaffs dispensers, IR sensors ... the rear rotor comes from nh90 revell kit, the bulbed windows from sea king revell.... i will post some pictures in the album of building step by step if you want .

Yess, that`s it!!
Now it reminds me!!! 🙂
I know Villalbas techniques and yours comes very close!! Great stuff! Wish I could paint so....
I`m a still fan of spanish and italian paint schools!! 🙂
"Euromodelismo" is one of my favorite required reading!
A short step by step of this little gem would be great!
Thx !

Very nice. Do you pre-shade, or how do you get your rivets to stand out?

Hi Austin,
I don't preshade because after applying the three main colours you don't see the preshading any more. So i first apply the main colours and after i apply heavy diluted h342 OIL from gunze on the panel lines and rivets lines.
After a Klear (future ) varnish i apply diluted black ( from Prince Agust ) on the rivet lines with a brush and removing excess paint with a wet cotton. I use black on clear areas and blue gray on black areas.

Ronan, holy sh...!! I know some Dutch Cougar pilots (and crew/ground crew) who wil really love this one! Awesome job - best Dutch Cougar I've seen so far!

Many thanks !
@Bart : i will add some daylignt pixes for you and your Dutch friends😉

Haha, yes please do! Unfortunately the RNLAF Cougars and Chinooks look terrible these days: multiple spray-layers because everything wears out. The 'new' plain grey scheme on the Cougars turn into black, very hard to keep them clean. Interesting paintjob for modelers, though...😉

Great job indeed! A Dutch Cougar is unfortunately not seen often in scale. Yours is perfect Ronan. Very impressive 👍

Thanks mates 🙂
@Bart : yes the grey scheme is very nice but get so dirty, i've seen one of them last year on Evreux air base. The french C160 transall are aslo very inetresting for modellers... 50 shades of grey 😄

Haha, this one is much, much better! Still trying to figure out your 'shading' technique. Really looks great with all these subtle hi-lights!

@Bart Meeldijk : i need to make room in my showcase, do you think it's possible to offer my cougar model to the dutch cougar squadron ?
You could ask cougar pilots if they are interested ?
