Cool topic! 👍

Gordon Sørensen
Great job so far, Peter!
Watching with great interest. I have the Rothmans and Canadian Reds kits in my stash, too. I built the kit many years ago, and remember that the decals aren't opaque enough.
I remember as a kid, seeing the Canadians Reds (and later known as the Rayban Reds)at a couple Airshows in my home province of Alberta.

Villiers de Vos
This little model is turning into a beautiful little gem.

Cuajete
Well done so far 👍

Peter Mollenhauer
@Gordon - You are right, I still remember the decals, but.....at the moment I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will at least work and not disintegrate, haha

Thanks for your mental support so far, mates! 🙂

Ben M
You should definitely coat them before using them

Peter Mollenhauer
The decades-old decals are doing surprisingly well! They need an awful long time to soak and even then won't get off from the paper on their own, but otherwise they don't mind being pulled off by tweezer! Lucky me! 🙂

Ben M

Cuajete
Great, Peter! 👍

Nicolas
Great result. 👍

Gordon Sørensen
Looks great, Peter! What paints did you use for the red and white? Did you use a primer?

Finn
Cool!

Ray Loch
Wow, hard to believe I have Never seen this boxing, very cool! I had a 1/48 Pitts and thought that was small! Awesome work.

Peter Mollenhauer
Thanks mates!🙂
@Gordon - Just Gunze H1 and H3. No primer, I cleaned the surfaces with Isopropanol and then painted it by brush.

Casey Rupley
First time posting a work in progress album. Decided to get crazy with the interior and scratch built everything in the 2nd and 3rd rows because the kit is completely wrong for the military version of this bird. Interior is now done. Next up are the rotors, then I'll begin assembling the puzzle of the exterior - it's a ton of small pieces instead of fuselage halves.

Andrew Horton
Wow! Great start, Casey! I look forward to seeing this project completed.

Daniel
Now this is stunning detail, really impressive💪🏻

Casey Rupley
Thanks, Daniel and FLM! Will hopefully have rotors done this weekend and fuselage well on its way. Daniel - your interior is making mine look like childs play, but I like the motivation it provides to step up my game.

Guillaume Boulanger
Folowing, i like your work and comment on the photo help great.

Casey Rupley
Thank you, Guillaume!

More progress has been made. Main rotors done and the fuselage is starting to come together, bit by bit. Many thanks to the notes and pictures posted by Bernhard Schrock when he built this kit.

Porfiry Pocięgło
Love it when people get crazy with details!

Zsolt Czegle
Great work so far! Following!

Casey Rupley
Thank you, Porfiry and Zsolt!

Sorry for the 6 month delay. I haven't worked on this one for a while (was taking a break from everything, then finished my USS Reuben James ship), but I discovered I had pictures and progress I hadn't yet posted. So here you go! I'll be picking this up again next week. I'm almost at the point where it's ready for paint.

The fit has been pretty horrible - all the panels around the engine were horrible, and the clear pieces that make up the forward cockpit/doors left a sizeable gap. I put comments on each of the pictures to explain myself.

Daniel
Awesome work with all these little extras, will look great in paint I think👍🏻

Casey Rupley
Finally primed, pre-shaded, and painted. Next up will be clear coat and decals.

Scott
Looking very sharp Casey!

Casey Rupley
More progress. The helo is sitting on her own legs now, paint has been touched up, decals applied, and a lot of parts and details added. Only a few things left to do at this point, so I hope to have it done shortly. It's been fun (I think), but I'm ready to move on.

Casey Rupley
Finally done!

Florian H.
Great work and result

Daniel
Fantastic clean detail work and the painting is spot on as well - really nailed these softer camo edges, congrats casey 👍

Casey Rupley
Thank you, Florian and Daniel! Yeah, soft edges are a pain and I'm always relieved when they're done.

Laurent VILLANUEVA- "HELLER ForEver"
great

Scott
Looking awesome!!!
